Quick answer: The ToNiagara Evening Tour is a 10 to 11 hour Niagara Falls tour from Toronto for $299 per person. It adds the nightly Falls illumination (and fireworks on scheduled nights) to the boat cruise, winery tasting and Parkway stops, with hotel pickup and a drop-off around 10:30 PM.
Overview
Seeing Niagara twice — in full daylight and lit in shifting colour after dusk — is something most day-trippers miss. This extended tour is built around that transformation.
The afternoon follows our classic itinerary: boat cruise, free time, Parkway stops and a winery tasting. Then, instead of heading home, we return to the Falls for dinner time and the nightly illumination. On fireworks nights (most summer evenings and holiday weekends) you'll catch the show over the water before a comfortable late-evening ride back to Toronto.

Frequently asked questions
When do the fireworks run?
The Falls fireworks series runs on scheduled nights — typically nightly in peak summer and on weekends/holidays in shoulder seasons. We'll confirm the schedule for your date when you book.
Is the illumination guaranteed?
Yes — the Falls are illuminated every night of the year, in every season. Fireworks are the only seasonal element.
Isn't the day too long for kids?
Many families do it happily — there's downtime built in, and the vehicle is always nearby for a rest. If you'd prefer a shorter day, the Day Tour is the better fit.
What about winter evenings?
Winter illumination over the frozen mist is spectacular, and during the annual Winter Festival of Lights the whole Parkway glows. Dress warmly!
