Day 3

Toronto - Niagara Falls

Today we experience the majesty of one of the world's great natural wonders. We travel through a lush wine-growing region between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario before arriving at Niagara Falls to enjoy a panoramic view of the falls from high above before boarding the Maid of the Mist for an exhilarating boat ride to the base of spectacular Horseshoe Falls. There's time for shopping and picture taking on the Canadian side of the falls. This evening we enjoy a delightful experience at a family-owned and operated winery. Join our hosts for an exclusive tour and wine tasting of their awardwinning wines, including their famous ice wine, made from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The result: a refreshingly sweet dessert wine. Later we sample some of Niagara's regional cuisine created with local seasonal ingredients at a Be My Guest Dinner served in a marvellous setting with stunning views of the vineyard. (FB)

• • Product :
    Saw all the highlights of this part of Canada - compared the intinerary / value for money to a number of different companies before booking and this was the best - especially as also included you seeing Niagara Falls at night. Excellent Tour Manager, whose local knowledge and little touches enhanced the holiday. So much included in the price. Enjoyed the wecome meal - gave good feeling in group from beginning. A real bonus touring with people from different Countries.

  • Service Rating :
    Comprehensive range of holidays and informative brochures. Really good to have your own travel consultant who you talk to each time - rather than an inpersonal call centre approach.

    THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER DIONE IN REVERSE, AS THE NIAGRa falls was on the 2nd day, and left most other visits in the shade, especially the montmorency FALLS

  • Service Rating :
    I did have some problems on the holiday which in the main were sorted out but when I returned I did inform milestones of the problems I incurred, and they did not even have the courtesy to acknowledge my email !
