The Underground Railroad, the network that shuttled slaves to freedom, stretched all the way up to the Canadian border. It is estimated that between 30,000 and 100,000 slaves crossed the border to gain their freedom. This tour takes you back to the 19th century, with your guide and others in historical garb, to reveal what the Underground Railroad was like. Hear stories of great intrigue and see many sites that played a pivotal role in giving tens of thousands of people their freedom. This tour also affords you the opportunity to get a regional orientation by combining Underground Railroad sites with general sites of interest (i.e. the Falls) - truly a two for one experience!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour, but I would recommend it for ages 10 and up. The stories can be intense and emotional, so younger kids might not fully grasp it. Everyone in my family enjoyed it, but just be aware of the content when deciding if it's suitable for younger kids.

Q: If the weather's bad, do they cancel the tour? What happens then?

A: They do go out in light rain, but if there's severe weather, they’ll reschedule. You get a full refund or credit if you can’t make it. I had to reschedule once due to bad weather, and the process was super easy!

Q: How long does the tour last? Is it all walking?

A: The tour is about 2-3 hours total, including travel time in the minivan. There’s some walking, but it's not overly strenuous. You get plenty of breaks and the guide does a great job keeping it engaging. If your gift recipient isn’t super mobile, they should still have a good time!

Just did the Underground Railroad tour in Niagara Falls, wow!

I went on the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Tour last weekend, and it was amazing! The guide was in period dress and shared incredible stories. It felt like stepping back in time. Plus, they took us to some beautiful spots around the Falls. Highly recommend it if you’re into history or looking for a unique gift! It’s perfect for anyone who appreciates storytelling and learning about the past.

Thinking of gifting the Underground Railroad tour, insights?

So I’m considering this Underground Railroad tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and culture, but I’m a bit worried if it’ll be too heavy or intense for them. Any tips or thoughts from those who've gone? Also, what’s the parking situation like around Niagara Falls? Don't want them stressing over logistics!
