Step Back in Time on Queen Street
First things first, we've got to talk about Queen Street. This isn't just any old main drag – it's like stepping into a living postcard from the 19th century. As we stroll down the street, you'll be surrounded by well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture that'll make you feel like you've traveled back in time. And let me tell you, the boutique shops and cozy cafes lining the street are to die for. Trust me, you'll want to snap a few pics for the 'gram!
Sip and Savor at World-Class Wineries
Now, I hope you've brought your taste buds along because Niagara-on-the-Lake is famous for its wineries. We're talking about some seriously good vino here, folks. On our tours, we'll take you to some of the region's best wineries where you can sample everything from crisp Rieslings to bold Cabernet Francs. And the best part? Many of these wineries are set against breathtaking backdrops of rolling vineyards. It's like a feast for your eyes and your palate!
A Touch of Drama at the Shaw Festival
If you're a theater buff (or even if you're not), you can't miss the Shaw Festival. This world-renowned theater festival runs from April to December and showcases the works of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries. The productions are top-notch, and the festival theaters themselves are architectural marvels. Who knows? You might even catch a behind-the-scenes tour if you're lucky!
Nature's Beauty at Queen's Royal Park
Need a breather from all the excitement? We've got you covered. Queen's Royal Park is the perfect spot to relax and take in some stunning views. Overlooking Lake Ontario and the Niagara River, this park offers a gazebo that's practically begging to be photographed. It's also a great place to watch the sunset – talk about romantic!
A Slice of History at Fort George
History buffs, rejoice! Fort George is a meticulously reconstructed British fort from the War of 1812. As we explore the grounds, you'll feel like you've been transported back to the early 19th century. The costumed interpreters really bring the place to life, and you might even get to witness a musket firing demonstration. How cool is that?
Pedal Power: Biking the Niagara Parkway
For those who like to stay active, we offer guided bike tours along the scenic Niagara Parkway. As we cycle along this beautiful route, you'll be treated to views of the Niagara River, charming cottages, and lush gardens.
