It was so nice that everything was laid out clearly. We knew how much time we had for each activity. Our first stop was to the national park. We were getting intermittent rain alternating with sunshine so it was pretty wet. Also the park is on marshlands so even more wet than normal land! lol. We got dropped off by one of the board walking trails. It's very scenic & beautiful despite the rain. The sun came out at times. So nice to get some fresh air & there were birds, frogs, fish all around. Our next stop was at the Presqu'ile lighthouse, beach & visitor center (all near each other). The beach is small & rocky but it was so nice to be near the water. After the lighthouse we got to wander around the small visitor center. It has two single washrooms, a small history room, & a small gift shop. Next was our lunch stop at the Big Apple. There are around 4 food trucks outside the main building. There's a petting zoo also. Inside the main building there are washrooms, a candy store, baked goods, souvenirs, a burger joint & a bar. I liked the big apple but it would be hard to get there without a car. I liked that we got to pay for our own lunch because that also meant we could get whatever we want. Sometimes the day trips include lunch & has a limited menu especially for people with food intolerances. After lunch we got to go to Old Mill Alpacas. Here we got to feed the alpacas, and walk the alpacas. The owner of the farm also did a quick talk about alpacas. It was very interesting! Because of the rain it was muddy of course so we got dirty but I didn't mind as I was prepared with my waterproof boots. Also short trips informed us of weather conditions in an email before the day trip. After the alpacas we had a 30 mins break for dinner at a highway enroute rest stop. Too bad these enroute places don't have better food options. Anyway short trips has no control over that. Our drop off was on time. Overall we really enjoyed our tour with short trips. We would go on another tour with them for sure. Since we don't drive or have a car this is a really nice way to see parts in Ontario we wouldn't normally be able to see.

I cannot say enough great things about Discovery Tours and our guide for the day, Tim…read more We stopped in the area for the day on our way to Toronto and decided to do the Undiscovered Winery Tour...we couldn't be more happy with our decision. Our guide Tim picked us up at the Fallsview Casino, which was convenient for us, before we picked up one more group of 2. The small group of us (4 plus Tim) was just the right size. Tim was very knowedgeable both about wine and the Niagra region. He took the time to get to know each of us and what tastes were like in wine. We stopped at 4 wineries (all were equally delicious, although I'd have to say my favorite was the red Ice Wine from Vineland) and each time Tim brought us inside, introduced us to the staff, and helped offer suggestions based on what he had learned about us. We also learned the proper way to taste at our very first stop. This was a welcome change from other tours we have done in the past where the tour bus simply stops in the parking lot while you go inside, sample, then come out when you are ready to leave. This was much more personable and made for an excellent tour experience. In addition to the 4 wineries we stopped at the Upper Canada Cheese company to sample their fine cheeses, as well as stopped mid-day in Jordan Village for lunch. The tour was well structured and you had plenty of time to shop after each tasting as well if you wanted to (although none of the wineries/staff were pushy in any way whatsoever.) Overall it was a great day, great experience, and I would certainly consider other future tours with Discovery.

I will admit I have never been out of the country, and Yelping was a little rougher for me when it came to restaurants. I just didn't know distances from the hotel to where I was looking for things to do. So, I left food to them. I had fun finding activities for them, and this boat ride ended up being another success on my scoreboard. You do have to schedule a time, but they ended up not checking the time, they just scanned the tickets I forwarded to my husband's email. Easy enough. So, FYI, the Canadian boat typically has more people on the cruise than the U.S. side. It was packed! Not sure how I would have like that, but those things don't bother them like they do me. They will get you very close to the falls, and you will get pretty wet, but they do give you a poncho before you leave on the cruise. The cruise was about 20 minutes for $42 Canadian dollars. It was definitely something they would do again. It was really easy for me to book. 9/24/25

Meandering through the caves and caverns is the main highlight in the summer (as well as spring and fall). All caves and caverns follow a structured path, and everything is clearly well marked. They also have mini golf, gemstone mining, hiking trails, and adventure playground for the warmer months. In the winter, it's great for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sauna. They have a nordic pro shop where you can purchase or rent equipment. The gift shop, which doubles as a small cafe selling hot drinks and snacks, also carries winter activity essentials, ranging from base layers to gloves and toques. All the staff are friendly and helpful. We rented their snowshoes, and they were of excellent quality (with spikes at the bottom to help crush ice, which became very helpful as the trails were quite icy that day). The snowshoe trails are mostly loops and very clearly well marked - it's impossible to get lost.

Lots of trails, but they really need to update their website! My kiddo was so excited for the train…read moreride. But the day we went was on and off rain, and it turns out the train is battery/electric run so it does not operate unless the ground is completely dry. Wish we would have known this beforehand as the entry fee is kind of hefty if the one thing your kid was excited for didn't end up operating. They require closed toe hiking or running shoes to enter. The suspension bridge trail and the caves trail were really neat. If you have a toddler 2 or under you might need to carry them part of the caves trail as there are some tricky slippery spots. The suspension bridge trail is much easier and you get a great view from the bridge. The playground is big and fun. You can also buy fish food (25 cents) to feed the fish, though you're more likely to get gulls fighting over the fish food than to see any fish. We did see a big trout though which was neat! Besides the train not operating, and the kind of cold and wet weather, this would have been a great summer day activity. They let you bring your own food inside to have a picnic. And once you get your wristband you have in and out privileges all day which was nice. We wiuld have enjoyed this more if it was warmer and not raining.

Zoom Tours do not deliver on the services they promise, they treat their customers disrespectfully,…read moreand once they have your money they don't care about you anymore. They operate under several company names (such as Royal Niagara Tours), and pair those false names with empty business addresses to hide from complaints, deflect enquiries to "whatever tour computer booked through" (our tour guide Ali's words), and try and confuse anyone who tries to chase them to get their money back. We bought tour tickets from the Royal Niagara Tours website for the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights tour. Their website advertised several different packages with optional inclusions, of which we chose the most expensive package that included all the sights and dinner. The trip started off with confusion and chaos. The bus arrived late, the tour guide (Ali) didn't know who he was picking up, and didn't know what activities anyone was doing. After a speedy bus trip (including plenty of horn blasting) to Niagara, we were hastily pushed to do activities that weren't included in the itinerary we booked. We couldn't ask questions because the tour guide (Ali) was extremely dismissive and rude and brushed us off while continuing to shout at other tour members. He tried to excuse his disrespectful behaviour by saying "he naturally has a loud voice", and has "37 years of your experience" as an excuse for his dismissiveness. Afterwards the tour guide (Ali) demanded we pay him for the activities, on top of the tour we already paid for. Although we bought the most expensive tour package, we were given the same experience as people who paid for the cheapest tour package. As for the sightseeing and activities, we didn't see most of the things advertised. What we did see was via a quick drive by on the bus. Taking photos of the Winter Festival of Lights wasn't possible on a moving bus. We didn't go to Niagara-on-the-lake as advertised. Seeing the falls illuminated was from the bus while we were leaving. The Winter Festival of Lights fireworks show advertised was to start at 8pm, but our tour guide (Ali) rushed everyone on to the bus and left at 7:30pm, angrily shouting at us that the fireworks had ended (even though the restaurant staff confirmed the fireworks show happened the night before and would be happening again that night). There was no time to explore Clifton Hill as advertised, and we were told by our tour guide (Ali) that if we wanted to see it we should eat fast. There was no free time at all even though they advertised 2-3 hours of free time. But the worst part of all was the dinner experience. The group dinner table was in the back corner of the restaurant, where we could barely see Niagara Falls, and the table didn't have enough seats for all guests. While waiting for a solution my girlfriend politely asked if there was somewhere else we could sit instead, but our tour guide (Ali) raised his voice towards her and told her that she was just "complaining, complaining, complaining!". Once the restaurant staff brought some extra chairs we headed to the buffet, but our tour guide (Ali) literally jumped in front of my girlfriend, raising his voice once again and saying "so you're not eating now!?", to which we politely and calmly replied that "we are going to the buffet to get food", which received yet another raised voice response from our tour guide (Ali) of "then why are you taking your bags!?". This is the point where I asked for contact details to call the tour company, as our tour guides behaviour was becoming too much to tolerate. The tour company representative agreed to settle for a refund, and asked me to send an email detailing the issues, which I did, but not surprisingly, after 3 months of trying, they still neglect to respond or give us our refund. Unfortunately there is a word limit for this review, but overall this was one of the worst tour experiences we've ever been on. We paid a premium price for what was supposed to be a unique and special Winter Festival of Lights experience, we were rushed around in disorganised and confused chaos, we didn't receive the advertised package of experiences, and we were treated horribly by the tour guide (Ali). We could've had a better experience for half the price by booking our own bus to and from Niagara, buying our own tickets for experiences, buying our own dinner, and saving ourselves the poor treatment from a rude tour guide and scam your company. I would not recommend anyone to book through Royal Niagara Tours or Zoom Tours, and carefully investigate any Niagara Tour company before booking, as they will more than likely try to hide behind some other business name.

Very positive feedback on all accounts. My wife and I almost went on a tour for our honeymoon 30 years ago based upon our friends "then" recommendation. Things didn't come together then unfortunatley. But, this summer, for our 30th anniversary, we were going to "finally" take that honeymoon trip. Well, you know what happened Spring of 2020. No trip. Of course we are disappointed. I'm sure Beach's is disappointed too. BUT, I can say this. First of all, Beach's didn't cash my full payment check back in Feb or early March. Their policy was to take the deposit only and the rest later. They refunded that check without my asking. THEN, as they were forced to cancel the trip, they have offered full refund. No questions asked. You don't find good people running good business' like this everyday. While we have not yet been on the tour, every minute of working with Beach's has been professional and above expectations. We look forward to when we're all able to travel freely again and to when we can experience the Beach's hospitality on the road. Highly Recommended.
