Full description

Explore Niagara Falls on a private tour for your own group of up to 10, with a guide who's entirely yours for the visit. Meet your guide at the meeting point, then walk together to the Niagara City Cruises boat for a 20-minute ride right up to the falls, close enough to see and feel the mist.

Back on land, your guide leads an expert walking tour through the cultural and historical story of Niagara Falls, at a pace set by your group, with room for questions along the way. As you approach Table Rock Visitor Center, descend into the rocky caves of Journey Behind the Falls and feel the force of the cascading water up close.

With no other travelers sharing your guide's attention, it's the full Niagara Falls experience, built around your group.

Your private Niagara Falls tour kicks off with meeting your guide at the designated tour meeting point, with just your own group of up to 10 guests. You'll begin your adventure with a guided walk and introduction to Niagara Falls from your guide before boarding the boat. As you make your way to the dock with your guide, brace yourself for a 19-story descent into the gorge and a personal escort onto the Niagara City Cruises boat. With your complimentary poncho, embrace the misty immersion during an exhilarating 20-minute cruise near the falls.

The excitement continues! After the thrill of the cruise, your expert guide will lead your group on a captivating walking tour along the boardwalk, delving into the cultural and historical tapestry of Niagara Falls. Your guide will point out key landmarks, and you can stop for questions as you take in views of the falls and hear stories about Niagara's history, natural beauty, and iconic moments. The walking tour ends at Table Rock Visitor Center, where the pinnacle experience begins.

With access to the Journey Behind the Falls, you'll descend into rocky caves behind the falls themselves. Immerse yourself in the resonating crash of water through the tunnels and catch a unique glimpse of the waterfall from an opening. Finally, you'll reach the ledge beside the falls, where you can feel the sheer force of cascading water up close. This tour offers the complete Niagara Falls experience, blending excitement, adventure, and expert storytelling, built around your own group.

Chutes mythiques et impressionnantes mais les explications de la visite sont parfois inutiles et servent à combler le temps.
