This year, Toronto is hosting the G20 Summit. This means that there will be a lot of important people coming to and staying in Toronto. This means A LOT of security. The section of Toronto around the convention center will be closed, so we will not be able to pick up at 33 Yonge St. from June 7 - 20. For more information on our Toronto pick up points, please go to www.chariots-of-fire.com/ourtours/torontotoniagara.html
On the Plus side, Niagara Falls will be a great place to do some VIP ... Continue reading ...

 I just realized that I haven't given you details about each of our two Niagara Falls tours. This is part 1 of two.
Today, I will tell you about our Toronto to Niagara Tours.

Many people confuse the Skylon Tower with it’s larger cousin, the CN Tower. They are NOT the same.
The CN Tower, located in downtown Toronto, was the world’s tallest building. The Skylon Tower, located in Niagara Falls, isn’t as tall, but has a spectacular view of Niagara Falls and the Niagara area.
The Skylon Tower opened on Oct 6, 1965. The tower is 775 ft. tall, but it only takes a 52 second elevator ride to get to the observation level. There are both indoor and outdoor observatio... Continue reading ...

You can check back on this blog in the Spring to find out exactly when.

“Indian legend tells of Lelawala, a beautiful maid betrothed by her father to a brave she despised. Rather than marry, Lelawala chose to sacrifice herself to her true love, He-No, the Thunder God, who dwelled in a cave behind the Horseshoe Falls. She paddled the canoe into the swift current of the Niagara River and was swept over the brink. He-No caught her as she plummeted and together their spirits are said to live forever in the Thunder God's sanctuary behind the Falls."- The Magic of Ni...

Many people ask why we do not do hotel pick ups. There are a few reasons.
The main reason is that having only 3 stops saves time. Imagine that there are 30 people on the bus. On average, that would be about 10 different hotels. In order to leave Toronto by 9:00, we would have to start picking up at 8:00, or even 7:30 if there are people in Markham or Scarborough. If you were the first picked up, you would be on the bus 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours before getting to Niagara Falls. The same coming ba... Continue reading ...
