Hop on Hop off tour
Multicultural and diverse, Toronto prides itself on its unique neighborhoods that guests will be able to explore on the hop-on hop-off bus tour! Hop on board any of the buses as they travel to 20 different stops throughout Toronto from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Guests will be able to experience 360-degree views of the city from the open top buses and will have the opportunity to visit Casa Loma, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, and more! Tour tickets also include a free Harbor & Islands Cruise to enjoy Toronto from a different perspective. The pick up and drop off location closest to the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel is the Yonge-Dundas Square/Eaton Centre, a five minute walk away. You can take advantage of this opportunity at your own pace or join a group that will meet at 10:00 am in the hotel lobby to depart together.

Niagara Falls Day Tour

Guests will meet in the hotel lobby and board a van to begin the 1.5 hour drive to Niagara Falls. Upon arrival at the falls, the group will have free time to take in the views before boarding a boat for the Journey Behind the Falls Experience. Afterwards, lunch will be served atop the Skylon Tower Revolving Dining Room, a restaurant 775 feet above the falls which slowly rotates 360 degrees every hour! Lunch includes entrance to the Skylon Tower observation deck, which is the highest vantage point in Niagara. Guests will then hop back on the bus for a scenic drive along the Niagara Parkway before returning to the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel before dinnertime.
