Trip Highlights

Travel between Toronto and Montreal like the locals do – by train! See this gorgeous part of Canada from your railcar’s window, soaking up the scenery along the way and enjoying a slower pace.
Visit the iconic Niagara Falls and tour the Canadian side with your local leader before taking a boat ride to feel the mist of the thundering cascades on your face.
Stroll through the heritage-listed Old Town of Quebec City, try a classic snack at BeaverTails and take the historic funicular up the hill for excellent views across the city.
Daytrip to Ile d’Orleans – this scenic island is known as ‘the microcosm of traditional Quebec’ and, of course, you’ll have a classic lunch of poutine (fries covered in gravy and cheese curds).
Meet the Indigenous community of Wendake, visiting the Huron-Wendat Museum and Ekionkiestha’ longhouse with a local guide.
