The Experience

Before You Go

Bring your passport and documents

Canadian entry requires passport or enhanced ID — non-U.S. citizens often need visas or I-94 forms; have them ready for border control.

Meet at baggage claim

Your chauffeur will wait at the bottom of the down escalators holding a sign with your last name — call the operator if you don’t see them.

Request infant seats in advance

Child seats are available but must be specified at booking — include ages for proper seating arrangements.

Plan for gratuity

18% is customary in the U.S.; have small bills or add tip to card where accepted.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Dufferin Islands — tranquil walking paths and quiet river views just north of the main tourist strip
  • Queenston Heights Park — historic lookout offering quieter panorama of the escarpment and river

Wildlife

  • Bald eagle
  • White-tailed deer

Conservation Note

Stay on designated walkways and respect signs around the falls and riverbanks; increased tourism requires mindful waste management and adherence to border regulations to reduce congestion.

The Niagara corridor was a key route for Indigenous trade and later became one of North America’s earliest tourist destinations in the 19th century; hydroelectric projects reshaped the river and regional industry.
