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.
Mr Walker - Travelled to Ontario & Quebec"Thank you for guiding me on the itinerary"
We had a splendid holiday, thank you, and the itinerary worked well for us. We covered a fair bit of ground but never felt rushed not stressed at the next leg of the journey. Thank you for guiding me on the itinerary and for some superb hotels – particularly the Fairmonts in Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec.
