TOUR SUMMARY

Enjoy the wonders of Niagara and world-class theatre

A four-day visit to Niagara Falls offers plenty of time to enjoy the world-famous cataract and many attractions. From your first breathtaking sight of the Horseshoe Falls, where millions of gallons of water thunder over the edge every minute, there are so many ways to experience Niagara. A boat excursion takes you close to the misty base, the Journey Behind the Falls reveals the roaring cascade from tunnels carved into bedrock, and the Whirlpool Aero Car crosses the wild white water of the Niagara Gorge. At night, the illuminated falls create a dazzling spectacle. Lunch at Table Rock, dinner at Skylon Tower, and your room at the Hilton Hotel all provide awesome views of the falls. Theatre is also a highlight of this tour with shows at Stratford Festival, Shaw Festival, and the Greg Frewin Dinner Theatre, plus Niagara Takes Flight and the Niagara: Miracles, Myths & Magic movie. Niagara wines rival those from the Okanagan, so we visit two wineries with touring and tasting. Come and experience the natural wonders and cultural treasures of Niagara on this extended visit.

ACTIVITY LEVEL

Level

Level

Moderate Activity: As a traveller you like a variety of activities and walking up to 2 km with breaks such as a guided walking tour is very doable for you without assistance. You can stand for prolonged periods, negotiate a variety of terrain such as moderate hills comfortably, and can climb two flights of stairs without assistance. At airports, you must handle your own luggage and often walk long distances. You may need to handle your own luggage at the hotel if luggage service is not available.

You may bring a cane or walking poles if needed. The coaches cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour. In extreme situations, you may be required to leave the tour and travel home at your own expense; travel insurance will probably not
cover you.

TOUR NOTES & POLICIES

  • Please book early: Niagara is a very popular tourist destination. The Hilton Hotel has strict policies about our commitment to the number of rooms needed and will cancel rooms from our original reservation if they can sell the rooms to other visitors. The three theatrical productions also require early commitments. If our rooms or seats are recalled, we have to consider the tour full, even though seats are available on the motorcoach. Therefore, waiting too long to book usually means “Sorry, wait until next year.”

  • Flight seating: We are unable to take requests for window or aisle seating on the planes. The airline will not accept them, as group seating is assigned as a block. If this is important to you, we suggest you take the “No Flight” option with a fare reduction of $550 and book your own flight which allows seat selection.

  • Flight upgrades: Please enquire about current prices for upgrades on the flights to Hamilton and return from Toronto. Premium economy and business class may be available.

  • Flight delays or cancellations: In the event flights are delayed or cancelled by airlines due to weather or other reasons, there may be additional costs to you. Wells Gray Tours will not pay for hotel rooms and meals during the delay. Most travel insurance policies cover expenses incurred for flight delays.

  • Show cancellation: It rarely happens, but actors occasionally get sick, or some mishap causes the cancellation of a show. This can occur even shortly before the performance begins. We know that this would be disappointing for our customers, but the only refund we would be able to obtain for you would be the actual ticket price of the show. The flight, hotel, motorcoach, and other tour services are all prepaid and are non-refundable at short notice.

  • Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.

  • Payments: A deposit of $400 per person is requested at the time of booking and balance is due February 5, 2026. By paying the deposit, you agree to the Terms & Conditions, Activity Level, and Cancellation Policy outlined. Payments can be made by online banking or cheque (3% discount on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard.

  • Early Booking Bonus: Receive a $240 discount on the first 12 seats and $120 on the next 8 seats for booking early with deposit. The discount is not offered after February 5, 2026.

  • Cancellation Policy: Up to January 5, 2026, the cancellation charge is $100 per person. From January 6 to February 5, the cancellation charge is $200 per person. From February 6 to March 5, the cancellation charge is 40% of the tour fare. From March 6 to April 2, the cancellation charge is 80% of the tour fare. After April 2, there is no refund.

  • Itinerary and Fare Changes: Our many suppliers may notify us about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Stratford Festival has not announced their 2026 show schedule as of September 2025 and the Frewin and Shaw shows could change. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.

  • Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by Travel Guard. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in Canada, but medical costs can vary wildly from one province to another. While your BC Services Card may partly cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for medical, cancellation, interruption, and luggage.
