Welcome to episode 21 of the Global Travel Planning Podcast. In this episode, Tracy Collins chats with guest John Johnston, an avid traveller and founder of Bucketlistthings.com. Inspired by the movie "The Bucket List," John shares his insights into exploring the Niagara Falls region in southern Ontario.
Niagara Falls, a popular tourist destination, has transformed from a hydro-generating area into a hub of attractions. John highlights various activities like walking behind the falls, riding an incline railway and a cable car over whirlpools, and even zip lining. Tracy and John discuss Clifton Hill, an entertainment area brimming with bars, fun houses, and amusement parks suitable for all ages.
For convenience, adventure passes are available, offering access to multiple attractions along with a tourist bus for easy transportation. John suggests spending one day each in Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake, a nearby vineyard-rich area known for its historical forts and Welland Canal viewing platforms. Winery tours come highly recommended, often included in scenic drives between Toronto and Niagara Falls.
The episode also covers practical aspects like transportation options—flights to Toronto or Buffalo, driving, shuttles, and rail transit—and discusses various accommodation options, from luxurious hotels to casinos with attached lodgings. While summer and fall are peak tourist seasons, John advises visiting in winter for attractions like frozen falls and the Festival of Lights.
Tune in to hear John’s memorable experiences, valuable tips, and a suggested three to four-day itinerary, ensuring you make the most out of your Niagara Falls adventure. Don’t forget to visit bucketlistthings.com for more travel ideas and leave a review of the podcast!
