A straight answer about the Canadian side of Niagara Falls — and how it works if you'd rather be driven.
Table Rock and the Horseshoe brink, Niagara City Cruises, Journey Behind the Falls, the Skylon Tower, the Whirlpool, Niagara-on-the-Lake and dozens of wineries — all reachable in a day with a private driver.
The Canadian side is the one that faces the Horseshoe Falls head-on, so nearly everything worth doing sits along the Niagara Parkway between Table Rock and Clifton Hill. Start at Table Rock, where the brink of the Horseshoe is a few steps from the sidewalk, then work down to Journey Behind the Falls, the Skylon Tower, and the Clifton Hill strip. From Toronto it is roughly 128 km, about a 90-minute drive, which makes an unhurried single day very doable.
The boat everyone pictures is Niagara City Cruises on the Canadian bank — the red-poncho Voyage to the Falls, about 20 minutes into the mist, and yes, you get soaked. It runs seasonally, roughly late April through November, and costs around CA$48 plus HST bought at the gate. No passport is needed because you never leave Canada; the U.S. Maid of the Mist is a separate boat we do not visit, since we stay entirely on the Canadian side.
After dark, the two best things are free. The Falls are lit every night of the year, and fireworks light the gorge around 10 PM on a seasonal schedule plus special dates. That is where a private chauffeur earns its keep: we drive you door-to-door, wait through the boat and the fireworks, and charge one flat rate per vehicle with 13% HST already inside — never per person, and no deposit. You simply buy your own admission at each attraction.
