Private Niagara Falls Tour: Boat Ride & Journey Behind the Falls

Explore Niagara Falls on a private tour for your own group of up to 10, with a guide who's entirely yours for the visit. Meet your guide at the meeting point, then walk together to the Niagara City Cruises boat for a 20-minute ride right up to the falls, close enough to see and feel the mist. Back on land, your guide leads an expert walking tour through the cultural and historical story of Niagara Falls, at a pace set by your group, with room for questions along the way. As you approach Table Rock Visitor Center, descend into the rocky caves of Journey Behind the Falls and feel the force of the cascading water up close. With no other travelers sharing your guide's attention, it's the full Niagara Falls experience, built around your group.
