Step back in time and visit a living piece of history — Canada's oldest sugar maple tree. Estimated to be over 500 years old, this majestic tree stands proudly in a quiet corner of the countryside, just a short drive from Niagara Falls. It’s a peaceful and awe-inspiring stop, perfect for nature lovers and those who appreciate the beauty of Canada's natural heritage. You’ll have the chance to stand beneath its wide canopy, learn about its incredible age, and snap unforgettable photos.
A traditional maple syrup farm nearby can also be visited as part of your day. It’s a chance to see how Canada’s famous maple syrup is made, from tapping the trees to boiling the sap. Depending on the season, you might witness the syrup-making process in action. You’ll also have the opportunity to taste pure maple syrup, maple butter, and other treats — and even bring some home.
This short countryside stop makes a unique and relaxing addition to your Niagara Falls tour. It’s a great way to experience the charm of rural Ontario, connect with Canadian tradition, and enjoy something most visitors miss. As with all stops on this private custom tour, visiting the tree and the farm is flexible and can be added to your personalized itinerary.

The whole journey was comfortable and Vlad was extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was happy to share tips and recommendations. All in all we had a great day and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Vlad’s services to anyone."
