By the day, the historic Distillery District looks like a bustling village with cute cafés, artisan shops, art galleries, and an old-world charm. But as the sun sets over Toronto, the district takes on a different persona, shrouding itself in mystery. The district has a reputation for spooky encounters and strange happenings. Visitors, residents, and workers in the area have all reported ghostly sightings and unexplained phenomena. People have seen doors opening and closing on their own and heard mysterious and unsettling banging sounds. One of the most frequently encountered spirits in the Distillery is said to be James Wort, one of the founders of the original distillery the district has been named after. It is believed that he haunts the buildings of the historic Distillery District to this day.

Exceptionally bad traffic made the start later than would have liked but Shawn our driver was a brilliant host making sure we experienced all the features of the trip. Skylon Tower, the Sheraton Buffet, Niagara Falls, the whirlpool, Niagara on the Lake, the world’s smallest church and the wine tasting. Highly recommend and book it all you will not be disappointed.

We went with Shawn on our tour and from the very beginning he was very professional and courteous! Shawn was an excellent safe driver and we had a smooth trip and at all of our stops we had more than enough time to enjoy the sights! I would definitely take this tour again if I were in Toronto and didn’t want to drive and I highly recommend Shawn and his fine hospitality and kindness and great knowledge of the area. Shawn loves the Niagara region and knows it well and truly loves it here and that helps make his tour exceptional!

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls tour with Tour Beez! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide, Shawn, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting facts, kept everything on schedule, and ensured everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend Tour Beez and Shawn for anyone planning a Niagara Falls tour!

We had a great time! We are from British Columbia and have never been to Niagara so booking through tour beez was easy and they did all the planning, even small details like booking our Uber, providing links and times. Our tour guide, Shawn was extremely knowledgeable with the falls and also the surrounding area. He was so friendly and personable. He even added on a couple extra stops whenever time was saved along the way. I will 💯 recommend Tour Beez to friends and family!

Shawn was the tour guide of the day and he was absolutely fantastic! He’s super friendly and very informative. The tour allowed us to explore many sites including Niagara Falls, a scenic drive along Niagara parkway, a stop at Floral clock, and we finished with wine tasting at Niagara College. Would recommend this tour to anyone!
