Frequently Asked Questions

I’m Vlad, the owner and your personal driver‑guide. Every tour is private and personally guided by me from start to finish.

Booking & Payment

How do I book a private Niagara Falls tour from Toronto?

You can book directly through my website or through trusted platforms such as Viator, TripAdvisor, and GetYourGuide. Booking early is recommended, especially on weekends and during peak season.

Is there a price difference between booking direct or through platforms?

Yes. Booking directly is the cheapest option, as you avoid third-party service fees. The tour remains fully private, flexible, and customizable regardless of how you book.

How much does the private Niagara Falls tour cost?

Please refer to my booking page or third-party booking pages for up-to-date pricing. The price is per vehicle (not per person) and is clearly shown at the time of booking.
