Tour overview
Many of our travellers live in Canada and have still not seen the best of it. This tour puts the country together in one comfortable loop, starting in Toronto and finishing in the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia.
It is our most popular first tour because the pace is gentle, distances between stops are short and the group is never far from home comforts.
Trip highlights
- Hornblower boat ride at the base of Niagara Falls
- Thousand Islands cruise on the Saint Lawrence River
- Old Quebec walking tour on cobbled streets
- Banff gondola and the turquoise water of Lake Louise
- Columbia Icefield ice explorer ride on the Athabasca Glacier
