Toronto to Niagara Falls day trip with Hornblower boat cruise, Table Rock views, and optional Sheraton Fallsview buffet at night.
“This is not as advertised. In winter I was informed only 1 trip from the tour guide. I was only notified 24 hours before and said not enough people which is incorrect. we booked afternoon and evening this does not run and when we booked it offered us boat clearly this does not run. We booked day trip and evening with 3 course dinner. There is no boat as it is frozen this should not be advertised as such.”
