Journey Behind the Falls · from Durham Region
Journey Behind the Falls, chauffeured from Durham Region.
The one Niagara attraction that puts you inside the rock — century-old tunnels bored right behind the Horseshoe, and an observation deck at the very base of the falls. We chauffeur you door-to-door from across Durham Region and the east GTA and wait while you go in; you buy your Journey Behind the Falls admission at the gate.

Journey Behind the Falls
Pickup in Pickering
Collecting you in Pickering
From Pickering it's about 168 km and 122 minutes each way via Hwy 401 -> 407 -> QEW. Closest Durham pickup to the Falls — an early start beats the 407 build-up to Table Rock.
From Pickering we pick up Hwy 401 and run west, then climb onto the 407 to skim across the top of the GTA and avoid the downtown crawl entirely, before dropping to the QEW for the last sweep around the lake into Niagara. It's about 168 km — roughly two hours each way — and your chauffeur drives every metre of it, out and back, while you just watch the vineyards arrive.
Near your pickup
- Pickering Town Centre — If you're near Pickering Town Centre we'll pull up right at the door, so nobody hauls bags across the parking deck before the long ride west to the Falls.
- Frenchman's Bay — Staying by Frenchman's Bay? Your chauffeur comes to the marina-side streets and collects you there, trading the lakeshore at home for the mist of the Horseshoe by late morning.
- Nautical Village — From the Nautical Village we come door-to-door, so your Journey Behind the Falls day starts steps from the water instead of at a distant depot.

A typical flow — your chauffeur re-sequences it around the light and the crowds.
How pricing works
One flat rate, by vehicle and hours
Your price depends only on the vehicle and how long you want the day — not on headcount or exactly where you start in our area. From Durham Region & the east GTA that's a 9-hour or 12-hour private day, whole-vehicle, taxes in.

Questions
Pickering tour questions
How long is the drive to Niagara Falls from Pickering?
About 122 minutes each way in normal traffic — roughly 168 km via Hwy 401 -> 407 -> QEW. Your chauffeur watches the Hwy 401 -> 407 -> QEW and adjusts your pickup time so you still reach Table Rock ahead of the crowds.
What does a private tour from Pickering cost?
A flat rate per vehicle with taxes included: from CA$760 for the luxury sedan, up to the luxury sprinter van for larger groups. You see your exact price on this page before you commit.
Is the price really flat, per vehicle?
Yes. The number you see is for the whole vehicle for the whole day, with 13% HST already included. It does not change with the number of passengers, and there is no per-person fare.
Do I pay to reserve?
No. Reserving costs nothing — you confirm the details and we email you back within one business day. Payment is arranged before or on the day; we tell you the method up front, never a surprise e-transfer.
What time do we start?
Most tours leave in the morning to beat the coaches to the Falls. We agree the exact pickup time when we confirm, and adjust for traffic on your route.
What happens if the weather turns?
The Falls are spectacular in rain and even in snow, and most attractions stay open. If a specific stop is closed we swap it — your chauffeur re-sequences the day on the spot.
There are six of us leaving from Pickering — which vehicle should we book?
Six with day bags ride most comfortably in the Luxury SUV, CA$1000 for the nine-hour base day, and if you want to stretch out on the two-hour westbound leg the Sprinter Van at CA$1520 has the room. Each is a single flat rate with the 13% HST already inside, so your Pickering six split one figure rather than six tickets. A couple or a trio would simply take the Sedan from CA$760.
Is the Journey Behind the Falls admission included in the price?
It isn't — we run the transport and nothing more, so your fare pays for the car, the chauffeur and the hours he waits, never the attraction. You buy the Journey Behind the Falls admission at the Table Rock booth yourself, which conveniently lets you choose your own entry time. From Pickering we simply carry you there and hold the car while you are underground.
Can we leave Pickering early to get inside the Falls before the crowds?
Do — and from the closest Durham town it pays off nicely. Slip out before the 401 and 407 fill and the 168 kilometres stay near two hours, dropping you at Table Rock while the tunnels are still quiet. Your chauffeur is parked and waiting the whole time you're below, then takes the river road home to Pickering at whatever hour suits.
