About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S1419REjamesb0 contributionsGood Tour.Michael was great. We really learned a lot about Toronto but we didn’t need so much time gawking at rich peoples’ houses.Written January 19, 2025
- PghTravelers0 contributionsGreat Family Tour of Toronto with PeterPeter was fantastic! He made the tour fun and informative, keeping both my husband and me entertained while also engaging our two daughters. He shared so much great info about Toronto, answered all our questions, and even tied it into things he learned about us along the way. He was super accommodating and gave us great tips for other things to do during our stay. It was the perfect way to kick off our trip and get to know the city. Thanks, Peter!Written November 30, 2024
- ChandlerMBC0 contributionsGreat experience!Had a great tour! The hotel concierge recommended Grayline and I spent hours looking at options and then ultimately settled back with them. I wanted to see Niagara on the Lake and I’m glad we did! It’s very cute and I would have liked more time there. We weren’t supposed to do the maple tasting with this tour, but we had time, so we did. It was fine-very commercialized and like a fancy truck stop. I wouldn’t choose it on my own. We also did the wine tasting and it was a lovely spot, but I didn’t like any of their wines. A few tips—give yourself extra time to get to the morning meeting spot. And do NOT rely on the free poncho for the boat ride unless you want to get soaked. I brought better disposable raincoats and boot covers I found on Amazon. There is no mist—it is a full shower experience. We still had soaked sleeves, gloves, knees and anything else that was exposed. As it was November and cold outside, we didn’t dry fast and being wet all day is rough. I did the optional lunch mainly to make sure my daughter was fed and didn’t get hangry. It was pretty decent, but nothing exciting. Nice views and I’m glad we did it because it appears to just be a bunch of junk shops and fast food in the area. Overall it was a great trip and I think a tour is the way to go!Written November 20, 2024

- 424kent0 contributionsBea and Roger were great hostsThe tour was a very informative way to start sightseeing Toronto. Beatrice and Roger were great hosts driving the group around and sharing details of the history of the city and the present happenings of construction of new light rail lines. Bea explained the importance of The Asian Canadiens contributions to the city during the emergence of Toronto. Bea gave us restaurant recommendations to visit for authentic local cuisines. Overall, the tour was an amazing way to see Toronto from locals.Written November 4, 2024
- Freedom8163590 contributionsFantastic full day outThis was a fantastic full day excursion to Niagra Falls. Our knowledgeable tour guide was able to provide an interesting commentary as we drove down on the coach, and she and our driver were very friendly and helpful. The boat trip was amazing even if we got quite wet! We enjoyed a terrific lunch at the Sheraton Hotel with panoramic views over the falls and surrounding area. Our trip included a visit to the picturesque town of Niagra, and a wine tasting experience at a local vineyard. This was a really great day out, extremely well organised, and excellent value for money.Written October 27, 2024
- Daydream6307260 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful!I only have one suggestion regarding the tour. When a small group like we were (4 tourists) perhaps a vehicle that has bigger windows and the interior isn't quite so dark. Other than that, the tour was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide Beatrice (B) was so knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. And our driver Mike was absolutely great. Definitely would recommend this tour and these two lovely individuals again and again! Check it for yourselves!Written October 13, 2024
- F2814YQpeterl0 contributionsNiagara a must.First time using Viator for anything and they did not disappoint us. 9hr day trip to Niagara stopping on way for maple syrup tasting then onto the Falls. Breathtaking. Our driver/ guide Sholz was superb giving details of the trip. His driving was excellent and we never felt worried although traffic was heavy at times.Written September 30, 2024
- shawnrV5907JT0 contributionsBest solo full day tour Niagra FallsPeter was the best tour guide! I had the absolute best time by myself but met amazing friends from around the world. Comfy new bus & great driver. Boat ride at the falls then buffet lunch with amazing views then a stop in the cutest town called Niagra on the lake! Then delicious wine tasting at hare wines! Highly recommended by my travel agency!Written September 9, 2024
- Navigate6163860 contributionsDay of fun!!!Total recommend, had a lot of fun , operator explained the sites and history as you ride , made sure everyone was in attendance after each stop so no one was left behind , the wine tasting was great ending of the tour ..Written September 3, 2024
- tlindeman0 contributionsExcellent trip to Niagara Falls and Beyone.Wonderful tour guide (Alex) and great driver (Hugo). Very entertaining and informative. Well organized, right amount of free time, several activites and experiences including the fabulous Niagara Falls boat trip, the whirlpool, a stroll through Niagara-on-the-lake with time to shop, and a trip to a vineyard and tasting. Great day. Well worth the money!Written July 20, 2024
- jbreisert0 contributionsA great way to experience Niagara FallsVery nice tour. The guide, Crystal, and the driver, Sam, did a fantastic job getting us there and leading our journey. Niagara Falls was amazing. Definitely take the boat ride! It’s incredible to get so close to the falls!!! Beware, you’ll get wet! The included lunch was very nice. The small town of Niagara on the lake is charming. Our final stop at the winery was much better than expected. We even purchased a few bottles of wine. Would highly recommend this tour from Toronto as an easy/great way to get to and from and to experience Niagara Falls.Written July 17, 2024
- jeilynv20240 contributionsVery good trip with very acknowledge people☺️It was totally worth it! I do not remember his name, but our guide was from Sr Lanka and he was so friendly and professional. He gave us a lot of information about all the places we went. I would highly recommend to do the tour, it worth every cent and you will have a great experience with them ☺️Written July 8, 2024
- Agha K0 contributionsNiagra FallsFinally decided to go to Niagra falls. Reached by 11.45 am from where busses took us to table rock area whee the fall was outstanding & there I made up my mind to stay a night, therefore went to Sheraton as it was the best as near to all attractions. After checking inn went outside for the boat ride which takes us near the fall. The experience was outstanding. After the boat ride came to hotel, got the room & went to sleep but in evening I changed the room as there was elevator sound like plane engine. Got a better & bigger room. Walked in night too as the area is big so had to cover. Slept at 12 am midnight.Written July 8, 2024
- W2145YIjanetm0 contributionsHighly recommend, fantastic day out.Coach was comfortable and cool with just the right amount of chatter from Daniel our guide, so we could watch the views. Great driving by Peter too. Niagara was breathtaking, boat ride amazing, lunch at the Sheraton was good, with great views of Niagara. Lake Niagara was cute, definitely visit the Xmas shop. The wine tasting was good. One suggestion - we waited 45 minutes for everyone to finish their boat rides so we could go for lunch, which is time we could have been exploring. I suggest an agreed time and meeting place near the Sheraton so we’re not all sitting around waiting.Written July 3, 2024

We booked a last minute private guide through VIP Ontario Tours for my 12 year old daughter and I to see the Falls and the surrounding area. Lisa was our guide and we had the best experience. We had driven over from a sporting event in Rochester, NY and had limited time to see the falls and wanted to get the most out of it.
Lisa was great from start to finish. She took us to the beautiful town of Niagara on the Lake and heard all about the historical events that took place in that area and , of course, the start of the falls. We also stopped at the the whirlpool area of the river which was very neat to see as well and not something I would have known about. We also went into the tunnels underneath the falls. It was the perfect balance of history and sight seeing with something for the both of us. Highly recommend this company and Lisa if you want to get the most out of a quick day trip to Niagara!

My family did the private day trip to Niagara falls. Our driver and guide, Roy Lawrence was amazing! Roy was engaging, knowledgeable and fun! We opted out of the boat tour and did "The Journey behind the Falls", which gave us a spectacular view of the falls with out the crowds. Roy then took us to Niagara on the Lake village, so charming, and gave us a great lunch recommendation. Bella Vita was delicious, home made Italian. Roy was terrific, even my 17 year old enjoyed the day! Highly recommend doing a private tour!!

Hi afotiadis
Thank you for your great review. We are delighted that we chosen to take you and your family on a trip to Niagara Falls. Journey Behind the Falls is quite an experience...with great views. I hear the food at Bella Vita was great along with the town of Niagara on the Lake. I will be sure to pass your kind words along to Roy.
Thanks again!

Just completed a day trip from Toronto to the Niagara. It was a private tour with driver. It was fantastic. Walter was our driver and guide and took wonderful care of us. We went to Niagara Falls and he gave us all the information we needed and all the time we wanted to experience the Falls. We then toured the area, went to a lovely winery and saw Niagara on the Lake. Walter accommodated our requests and was flexible with what we wanted to do. I appreciated that he was not pushy with the schedule and did not have a canned itinerary or presentation. They really do try to accommodate you and give you the best experience possible. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

To start off, my family and I were visiting and decided to spend a day visiting the famous Niagara Falls. We got picked up from the Fairmont Hotel downtown by our amazing tour guide, who told us to call him as BJ. He made us feel so comfortable the whole ride there, making us laugh and constantly ensuring we had what we needed to be comfortable, from air conditioning to answering any questions we had and letting us know trivia about the area. I really recommend BJ as a tour guide and driver if you're going with family as the children were very comfortable with him! he let us know the best places to take pictures and was constantly interacting with all of us! VIP Ontario Tours ensured a stress free and enjoyable trip and we are beyond satisfied with the service we have received. Would recommend to anyone who was interested, and make sure you ask for BJ!

If you truly want the VIP experience, this tour company is for you! Our driver Tim was professional and so knowledgeable about the Niagara Falls and surrounding area. At our request, he took us off the beaten path and showed us some of the hidden gems that locals enjoy. When we return, we will definitely be using this company again! 5 star service across the board!

Excellent tour to Niagara Falls with Lisa. Very professional and she has alot of knowledge of the area. You can tell that she loves what she does and is very passionate about the customer. We told her it was our anniversary and she suprised us with flowers.
Great small touch. Would recommend.
Tip: Bring warm clothes for winter!

Sam treated us like true VIP's! We were not thrilled at the weather conditions but Sam is the Man! He is a great talker, very professional and is the smoothest driver we have ever met. While the falls were lovely, (minus the wind) we couldn't get over our tour guide. In -18 he walked us over to show us the water flowing over the falls, and even offered to take our picture.
Lunch was on par at the winery and the Ice wine is a must try.
I am still waiting to try the poutin Sam suggested.
If you book a private tour request SAM!!!

Hello TripAdvisor, Brian Herrington,
I just wanted to share what an amazing experience my wife and I had from the fine folks at VIP.I looked through alot of companys and when I seen this one, I knew it was it. Catchy name, and they promote luxury vehicles.
i went on the website and seemlessly booked our trip.-Not too computer literate.
I opted for the vehilce upgrade option. The company contacted me the night before confirming my pick up time at the Hilton in Niagara Falls, along wiht my driver who was Lisa.
Lisa was prompt in arriving at the hotel with a brand new black Cadillac truck. It was rainning so she stood there with an umbrella for us while we got in the truck.
She even brought extra for me and my wife. When we got in it definately had that new car smell. We were offered a cooler with two kinds of water and Lisa's personable snack basket. She must have had almost everything in there, the coconut clusters were my favorite. Back to the tour, we didn't do the boat ride, but instead the Journey Behind the falls. What a great up close experience. Little tight downthere though. Lisa said the town on the lake was a must see, so we went there for lunch. She was so pleasant we asked her to have lunch with us at a the pillar & post...you must try the fish & chips. After lunch we walked around the town, and went to Peller Estates for what the call the Greatest Winery Experience.
All in all, the company handeled everything very well. Very professional. Lisa was very personable made us feel like family and made sure we did't get wet.
Job Well done Folks!

Taking the option of a smaller party private tour rather than the larger bus tour, certainly gave us a more personal experience with greater lunch overseeing the spectacular falls, wine tasting, town visits, etc.... Heidi certainly ensured we all had a great day.
