- Horseshoe Falls - Step onto the boardwalk to gaze at Horseshoe Falls, one of the three magnificent waterfalls that form Niagara Falls. Take a moment to soak in the captivating beauty, observe the whirlpool below, and truly understand why Tesla and others were inspired to harness the natural power showcased here.
- Nikola Tesla Statue - Located at Nikola Tesla Plaza, the “Tesla Monument at Niagara Falls” was unveiled on July 9, 2006. Tesla is depicted standing atop an AC motor, one of the 700 inventions he patented. Behind him is the stunning Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. This remarkable achievement was realized through the wisdom and efforts of several groups and individuals, including the Tesla Committee, the St. George Serbian Orthodox Church at Niagara Falls, the Canadian Government, the Government of the Republic of Serbia, and the Niagara Falls Park Commission. In November 2019, the Niagara Parks Commission announced that the landscaped plaza surrounding the Bronze Tesla Statue would be named Nikola Tesla Plaza, following requests from the Serbian School “Nikola Tesla” and the Canadian Tesla Museum.
- Niagara Parks Power Station - As the first major power plant on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Parks Power Station was completed in 1905 to generate hydroelectricity using the power of the Niagara River. Today, entering this impressive structure feels like stepping back in time. With original machinery still present, visitors can engage in hands-on training exercises. Discover the thrust deck, brake deck, and turbo deck while learning about their functions and the future of hydroelectricity. At this point, the guide will bid farewell and provide audio guides for exploring the Power Station and Tailrace Tunnel at your own pace.
- Niagara Parks Power Station - The view from the top of the power station is just the beginning. Descend 180 feet through the inner workings of the power station, then follow the path the water took through the Tailrace Tunnel to experience a unique view from the base of Niagara Falls.

Great day in Niagara Wine Country - Asif picked us up and took us to the helicopter launch, then the chocolate factory and finally to Caroline’s Winery, where we had 4 glasses of wine tasting samples. Very nice day and Asif was a great host who took care of everything.

Tour experience - My family & I recently visited Niagara Falls, Ontario. During our stay there, we decided to take a tour and contacted Asif at Fallsview Limo Niagara Tour & Transportation. He was very courteous and very helpful in recommending activities and attractions suitable for the whole family. We truly enjoyed the tours offered through the company and Asif was very friendly and a great guide, sharing many tips and tricks to make our trip even more memorable and fun. Highly recommend them, and make sure you ask for Asif!

You'll Say It's Worth It - The helicopter flight was the highlight, of course, but the wine tasting and the maple syrup stops were good as well. I wasn’t that impressed with the wines but the tour doesn’t include the top wines. According to the people at the wine wasting, for only $5 more, I could’ve had the better wines so I would have preferred to at least have that as an option, either as part of the tour cost or at the door of the tasting. The syrup and fudge stops were gift shops with the fudge and syrup as the main items for sale. The tour guide was quite personable and nice. The only complaint I have is higher cost and shorter duration than comparable tours I’ve taken, e.g., Grand Canyon. On the other hand, the entire area is expensive, especially food, so I would say this is in line with expectations. It is something you’ll talk about for a long time to come. If you have the cash, do it.
