About this experience
Enjoy private downtown pickup, then settle into a luxury small-group coach limited to 14 guests.
Your day begins in Niagara-on-the-Lake, wander heritage streets, browse charming boutiques, and sip artisanal coffee—before an expert-led tasting at a local winery.
Drift along the scenic Niagara Parkway with narrated views of Whirlpool Rapids, Queenston Heights, and the Floral Clock. At Niagara Falls, linger at Table Rock Centre for epic Horseshoe Falls vistas.
