OK !

Any specific reason for doing the falls before the conf? Like, in the
weekend there are more tourists in the area, or what?

I found these organised tours, which are supposedly pretty good:
http://www.toursinniagara.com/tour_info.html

But also, Barbara (the woman of my bed and breakfast) also does a
niagara falls tour, we get more input in the program (we can
stay longer in the evening, eat where we want, etc).  If you want, I can
forward you some mails with more info.

There's also a dude who did some further recommendations for things to
do at the Falls (such as "create your own trip"), see the comments at
http://dieter.plaetinck.be/off_to_toronto_july_14-28_Archcon

If it were up to me I think I would take Barbara's tour, but surely you
guys know the area better (Loui and Ricardo reading?), so I want your
input!
