Niagara Falls day tour · leaves from the Chelsea Hotel
Niagara Falls Tour from the Chelsea Hotel
Canada's biggest hotel has its own Niagara Falls coach. Down the escalator, out the Gerrard Street doors, and you're on your way to the Falls.
Your day starts in the Chelsea Hotel lobby
No taxi to a meeting point, no finding a coach park. Come down to the lobby, the coach is outside, and the first thing you see after breakfast is the road to Niagara.
Meet at the Gerrard Street West entrance (the main doors, not Yonge Street) a few minutes before pickup. The coach pulls up to the hotel's driveway; look for the King Tours sign in the windscreen. Families with strollers: there's room underneath for them.
The Chelsea sits between Yonge-Dundas Square and the Eaton Centre, a short walk from College subway station. After the tour the coach drops you back here — Yonge Street's restaurants are right outside for dinner.
Book your seats
Pick a date and how many of you are coming. Attractions can be added now or skipped.
Three hours at the Falls. Spend them well.
Add attractions when you book and you skip the ticket lines in Niagara. Add none and you have three hours to walk the parks for free — the Falls themselves cost nothing.
Niagara City Cruise (formerly Hornblower)
Twenty minutes in the mist at the foot of the Horseshoe Falls — the one thing everyone does.

Journey Behind the Falls
Tunnels behind the curtain of water and a deck right beside it. Yellow ponchos included.
$33 adult
Skylon Tower Observation Deck
The whole gorge from 236 metres up, by glass elevator. Best just before you head back.
