10 days · Escorted tour
From the Roar of Niagara to the Streets of Old Québec
You’ll hear Niagara Falls before you see it. With two nights here, there’s time to watch the mist rise above Horseshoe Falls, follow the riverside paths or take an optional boat trip for a closer look. From Niagara, travel through the pretty town of Niagara-on-the-Lake before reaching Toronto, where the CN Tower rises above the waterfront and you have a full day to explore at your own pace.
Follow the northern shore of Lake Ontario towards Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Take time to see the Parliament buildings or watch boats pass through the Rideau Canal locks before continuing to Québec City. With two nights here, you can wander from the cafés and cobbled lanes of the Lower Town up to the terraces beneath Château Frontenac, where the view opens out across the St Lawrence River.
The journey finishes in Montréal, where old stone buildings and converted warehouses line the streets around the Old Port. Spend your time exploring independently or join an optional guided tour to see how the historic waterfront contrasts with the neighbourhood streets of Plateau Mont-Royal.
The Rideau Canal stretches 202 kilometres between Ottawa and Kingston. Built in the early 19th century as a military supply route, it still follows its original course and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tour Highlights
