Experience the true essence of Niagara Falls on an intimate, small-group walking tour. This eco-friendly adventure is designed for those seeking an authentic experience away from the hustle and bustle of large tourist groups.

Your journey begins with a friendly local guide leading a group of no more than 20 guests. You'll meander through the scenic Oakes Garden Theatre, adorned with seasonal flowers, while your guide regales you with tales of Niagara’s daredevils and rich history. Discover hidden corners that most visitors overlook as you stroll at a leisurely pace along the Niagara Parkway. Here, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the awe-inspiring Horseshoe Falls. Your guide will point out prime photo opportunities and offer insider tips for capturing those picture-perfect moments.

The tour culminates at Niagara City Cruises, where you'll don a complimentary poncho and embark on the thrilling Voyage to the Falls boat tour. Feel the refreshing mist as you sail to the base of Horseshoe Falls. From November to April, instead of the boat tour, you'll venture through tunnels carved into the bedrock on the Journey Behind the Falls, offering powerful views from behind the cascading water.

The tour concludes at Niagara City Cruises, allowing you to continue exploring independently while supporting sustainable, small-group tourism. This balance of guided storytelling and free time ensures an unforgettable Niagara visit.
