About this experience
Your Niagara adventure kicks off at Casino Niagara Falls, where you’ll meet your friendly local guide. From there, stroll through the lush landscapes of Oakes Garden Theatre while hearing fascinating stories about Niagara’s daredevils, legends, and rich history. As you walk along the scenic Niagara Parkway, you’ll take in breathtaking views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the mighty Horseshoe Falls. Along the way, your guide will share insider tips and fun facts that bring the falls to life. The tour wraps up at Niagara City Cruises, where you’ll don your poncho and step aboard the Voyage to the Falls boat tour for an unforgettable ride into the misty heart of Horseshoe Falls.
