10 Cultural Tours in Niagara Falls That You Shouldn't Miss

June 12, 2021 Madelene Haan

Once a destination for honeymoons and family vacations, Niagara Falls has really stepped it up as an action-packed vacation spot. The falls are literally the biggest draw – watching the frothy water tumble at alarming speeds can be mesmerizing. Throw on a poncho and hop aboard the Maid of the Mist to cruise close enough to the falls to be drenched by spray. Hit the main strip of Clifton Hill for flashy tourist attractions and restaurants galore.

We didn't realize it was going to be such a big deal but it was. This ended up being one of the best choices we could have thought of for our team building vacation. We ended up taking advantage of the Hornblower cruise, and our memories still last today. The price was smashing, and we think that you would also enjoy this tour as well.
