Overview
Discover the best of the Eastern Canadian cities on a tour that takes you from Ontario to Quebec, taking in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, while viewing some of the other highlights of both provinces, as you visit Niagara Falls and the 1000 Islands’ region. This is a great holiday to do particularly in spring or autumn.
You will have time in each city to explore and we recommend booking sightseeing and excursions to make the most of your stay in each one.
The itinerary shown starts in Toronto and ends in Montreal, but it can be done the other way round if you wish.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend the holiday or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
Mrs Dale - Travelled to Alberta & BC"We are just back and had a great time"
Just a quick note to say thanks for your help in organising our holiday. We are just back and had a great time, everything went like clockwork and, other that the slight hiccup with the beds, in Banff, which you sorted out straight away, everything was fabulous and stress free. I think a test of any organisation is not just how thing are that go right but how they respond when things go wrong. Your response was immediate and effective.
