  1. Niagara Falls Underground Power Station and Tunnel tour, Niagara Falls & Around4

    4. Niagara Falls Underground Power Station and Tunnel tour

    4.6· 269 reviews· 3 hours

    Two hours of walking and elevator rides through the Niagara Parks Power Station and Tailrace Tunnel, with stories of Tesla, hydropower, and daring challenges to the Falls.

    This tour was fantastic. We opted for the self-guided night experience that included the light and sound show. The exhibit is impressively executed, with remarkable attention to detail. The preservation of the old alongside the new is expertly done. The elevator ride and walk through the tunnel were quite manageable. While there are some benches available for resting, more and larger ones would be beneficial. Watching the fireworks from the observation deck at night was a highlight. I highly recommend this tour.Blake C

  3. Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto with optional dinner, Niagara Falls & Around6

    6. Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto with optional dinner

    4.1· 793 reviews

    Full-day trip from Toronto featuring the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, including a boat cruise and optional dinner, with a return in time for the evening fireworks.

    The service provides transportation to and from your destination. It's suitable if you're seeking a budget-friendly shuttle. However, the ride was not very comfortable, and the English language skills could be improved.Jerrece_M
