Our Toronto to Rochester limo service clients are mostly corporate travellers and families visiting campus for admissions tours, orientation or graduation.
The route runs via the QEW to the Niagara Falls area and across the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, roughly two to two and a half hours from the GTA in normal traffic. We handle the border crossing directly, and every passenger needs a valid passport, the same as any international trip.
