Overview
Journey to the land of maple trees by rail to discover Canada’s historic heartland. This holiday is especially spectacular when the maple trees turn red.
Start your holiday in Toronto, a vibrant multi-cultural city, close enough to Niagara Falls for you to take a day trip to this iconic landmark. In Canada’s capital, Ottawa, explore the national galleries, museums, historic sites, theatres, nightlife and shopping. Then travel on to Montreal and Quebec City to witness the French side of Canada. Montreal is the second largest French speaking city in the world, boasts fine cuisine and architecture, and is the birthplace of pure Canadian maple syrup! Quebec City is the only walled city in North America and its heritage is clear as you wander its streets.
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.

Thank you very much for organising an amazing trip to Canada for us this summer. The trip was spot on as to what we wanted and quoting the children ‘we wouldn’t change a thing’. Thank you for the time in organising and providing the various options to make it so good, it was much appreciated.
