Overview

Niagara Falls Through Time WALKING TOUR: History, Power & Tourism - the perfect introduction to Niagara Falls! Follow Niagara's evolution from geological wonder to international tourist destination, exploring historic hotels, scenic parks, transportation systems, famous viewpoints and remarkable hydroelectric infrastructure hidden beneath the landscape. Discover connections to royalty, Marilyn Monroe, Sir Harry Oakes and engineering pioneers, while seeing the Falls from memorable vantage points. We stop multiple times for photographs and unforgettable views! Walk through over 200 years of Niagara Falls history with your guide “Bee” (of Tours by B), a local Public Historian & official Niagara Parks Tour Guide.

    On the first leg of our tour (30min), hear about the history of historic hotels, bridges, towers, and both tranquil & iconic viewpoints of the American falls from the Canadian side.

  2. 2

    Table Rock Welcome Centre

    Pass by

    On the second leg of the tour (45min), experience the history of Niagara Parks, and see stunning views of both falls along the Niagara Falls Parkway, then get so close to the brim of the famous Canadian horseshoe falls at multiple observation points at Table Rock that you will be able to feel the mist and see the mineral green of the waters as they plunge over the gorge!

    Pass by

    On the last leg of our tour (30min), hear about the incredible history of multiple pioneering hydroelectric power stations, and how their ingenuity changed the world, and made Niagara Falls not only the honeymoon capital of the world, but also the power capital of the world at the time!

Meeting and pickup

Meet across the street from Hard Rock/Starbucks/Brock hotel, by the DutyFree sign. So you can spot me - look for my telescoping flagpole with mini flag, I usually have my hair in a side braid or top bun, wear a lanyard with my name on it & "TOUR GUIDE" and a headset/microphone.

End point

We end adjacent to the Niagara Power Station at the Rakine monument marker, enabling attendees to continue to the Power Station or other other vacinity attractions (such as the Niagara Parks funicular incline railray, returning to the table rock falls viewing area, etc.) to explore on their own.
