  • ITINERARY

    Day 1:New York Area, Niagara Falls
    Departing urban life, you make your way to Niagara Falls for an evening viewing to see what makes this one of North America's most beloved attractions. Made up of three waterfalls, this mighty natural wonder will blow you away. What it lacks in height it definitely makes up for in sheer volume of water, and the noise is pretty immense too!

    Day 2: Niagara Falls, Toronto
    Bordering the USA and Canada, the best way to see the falls is on an included ‘Maid of the Mist’ boat tour (April-October) - prepare to get wet as you get a truly awesome perspective of the falls up close! Then it's time to cross Rainbow Bridge into beautiful Canada. Toronto is where all the trendy people are at, with high-fashion stores and cosy cafes on College and Queen Streets. View the city from above with a trip to the top of the CN Tower and gaze out across the beautiful Lake Ontario.
