B, LDay 3
The Observation Deck which extends out dramatically over Niagara Gorge is an architectural wonder with unobstructed views of the wild cascading waters of Niagara Falls, as well as the raging whitewater below. Today, we have a professional guide to show us the sites of this great region. We then descend on the adjacent elevator to the dock of the favorite Niagara Falls attraction for more than 150 years.
Marvel at the beautiful plantings and the amazing Floral Clock. The intricate designs on the face of this floral masterpiece are created with thousands of bedding plants and changed out twice each year.
The Maid of the Mist cruise journey begins with donning your souvenir rain poncho and boarding the double-deck tour boat. From there, the boat ferries pass the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls as this dramatic passage leads you through roiling whitewater and massive rock formations.
Lunch today is included overlooking the Falls at the Sheraton Fallsview restaurant. A fantastic day well-spent with your professional local guide.
Day 4
Your local guide will join us again, taking us on a tour of the White Water Walk and then we head out on a short drive to quaint, Victorian Niagara-on-the-Lake. Nestled just beyond the falls, this picturesque town epitomizes old world charm. It's bordered by arbor-framed streets and lush boulevard gardens plus hear the clip-clop of horses as carriages go by.
After our tour it's time for lunch and shopping on your own in the historic district. The Niagara Apothecary is an authentic museum restoration of an 1869 pharmacy as part of a practice that operated in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, from 1820-1964.
Next, a scenic drive to Peller Estates Winery for a tour and tasting. This area of New York state is home to a burgeoning wine region. The cool climate and rolling hills and valleys make for a one-of-a-kind terroir and is home to small and large producers alike, with numerous varieties of grapes.
Our last evening in Niagara is a special one. We have an included dinner with incredible views at the Prime Steakhouse Crowne Plaza. A truly special evening and memory to be had!
Day 5
Time to pack our bags for the journey out of Niagara. We first make a pit stop at the Made In America Store. This is the nation's only 100% USA-made brick & mortar store. It has over 9,000 products from 500+ manufacturers that are guaranteed to be made in America!
Lunch time finds us back in the Cleveland area where we enjoy a fun German meal at the Munich-style Hofbräuhaus. Our final overnight will be in the Toledo, OH area.
