Airport transportation to Shaw Festival Theatre
The Shaw Festival is one of North America’s major repertory theater companies, staging a full season in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town, about 35 miles and 45 to 70 minutes from Buffalo Airport across the border. For patrons flying into BUF for a theater weekend, we handle the crossing and drop you in wine country.
A Shaw weekend usually blends theater with the town’s inns, restaurants, and wineries, and a private transfer means arriving relaxed rather than navigating the border and rural roads yourself. The first 35 minutes of border wait are included.
Who this is for
