Tours often include casual sightseeing and a ride on the Niagara City Cruise ship. There’s also Table Rock which is a magnificent viewing area that allows you to enjoy the falls from the bird’s eye view.

Fun fact – you can actually book limo services that also offer exclusive tours to Niagara Falls for up to 12 people. It’s an option you might want to consider if you’re bringing along a lot of people on the trip.
