Niagara Falls Canada tours and vacation packages take in the Horseshoe Falls head on from the Ontario side. Niagara City Cruises is the only boat tour running from the Canadian side, Journey Behind the Falls leads into the tunnels behind the water, and the Skylon Tower looks down on all three falls. The illumination runs nightly, year-round. Most trips arrive from Toronto, Montreal or New York, often with the Thousand Islands, Ottawa and Quebec on the same route. The American side is a separate trip, across the border. Hotels, transport and a guide are included on multi-day trips.
Toronto is the only departure close enough for a day tour. From Montreal and New York the falls are one stop on a longer route, and the routes from New York cross the border. Pick a departure city to see the routes that leave from it, prices and how many days you'll need.

Everything sits along the Niagara Parkway above the gorge, close enough to walk between. Table Rock stands at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, and the Niagara City Cruises dock is about a kilometre north at river level — the boats run spring to late autumn only. The Skylon Tower looks down on all three falls from up the hill. The Rainbow Bridge walkway looks straight down the gorge at all three, and is also the border crossing to the American side.
