Looking for any recs from past experiences for the title subject.

Traveling with my in-laws which in includes 80 yr old MIL that does not speak English. Her mobility is average for that age. 5 people total and no kids.

Ideally looking for an all inclusive tour with pickup/drop off in downtown Toronto. TIA

My husband and I did this. We took a train from Toronto to Niagra and it was really easy. After the falls we took an Uber up to Niagra Falls on the Lake for lunch and to try one of the vineyards. Really nice

We did this last summer. It was a great day trip. I’ll have to see if I can find the name of the company we used.

Our guide/driver was Canadian and looked like he stepped straight off of a SoCal surfer beach. Really nice guy who gave lots of info about the Niagara area.

I've done this on a girls trip. We had a rental car (van) and just drove. Honestly, it feels no different from being in the US. It was very easy to drive and park. It would be much cheaper, if you have a driver. Yes, parking was a big away, but you could drop off your MIL and a couple of people and go park.

We rode the Hornblower/Maid of the Mist (I forget which is the Canandian side. You walk a good ways down to board it.

Like the other poster, we also stopped on the way back to eat and shop at Niagara-on-the-Lake. We did a few wine tastings. The area is one of the few places that produces ice wine.

My wife and I just did this back in August. We stayed downtown near scotiabank arena and our tour bus picked us up about 2 blocks from our hotel at 8am; it's one designated pickup point we were jsut lucky to be staying so close to it. They drive you to the falls, let you out for a few hours to do what you want, then pick you up and take you back. It's a full day 8am-5pm kinda trip. On the way up there you stop at this quaint little town for about 30 mintues to shop and whatnot. I did a bunch of research on trains or buses or rental cars etc but I have zero complaints about what we ended up doing, it was perfect.

For the life of me I can't find the email wiht the company name. I think it may have been this one: LINK /

Went to Toronto a few years back to see Yanks/Jays series. My dad sat next to Rick Moranis on the connecting flight from NYC to Toronto. Vince Clortho is from Toronto and told my dad don't waste your time at Niagara so we skipped it. True story. Have fun.
