✈️ UK – Québec (2 nights): First, we’ll fly you from the UK to Québec City, a charming blend of French flair, cobbled streets and magnificent architecture. The Old Town is one of the oldest settlements in North America and, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s well worth exploring in full. The city’s compact layout makes it ideal for a two-day stay, with highlights including the clifftop Battlefield Park, the fascinating Musée de la Civilisation and the imposing yet beautiful La Citadelle.

🚆 Québec – Montréal (3 nights): Next, make the short scenic train or car journey to Montréal, Canada’s culinary capital and one of its most vibrant cities. Expect a feast of restaurants, cafés and bars scattered across diverse neighbourhoods. During the day, explore the city’s architectural gems such as the Basilique Notre-Dame, Montréal’s most famous landmark, and the grand Place d’Armes. Take a stroll through Parc des Écluses, a green waterfront park in the old docklands, or hop aboard the city’s open-top bus tour to explore at your own pace.

🚆 Montréal – Ottawa (2 nights): Continue by road or rail to Ottawa, Canada’s often-overlooked but fascinating capital. Renowned for its cultural richness, Ottawa boasts some of the country’s finest museums and most impressive architecture. The Parliament Hill, ByWard Market and Golden Triangle districts are the city’s lively hubs, filled with theatres, galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Don’t miss the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of History, or the city’s Gothic Parliament Buildings and Peace Tower, the centrepieces of Ottawa’s skyline.

🚆 Ottawa – Toronto (3 nights): Travel onwards to Toronto, where you’ll spend three nights discovering one of Canada’s most cosmopolitan and exciting cities. Toronto is famed for its nightlife, culinary scene and distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own unique character. Explore Queen Street East in the Beaches district for top dining and shopping, or wander through the Distillery District’s cobbled lanes lined with artisan cafés and boutiques. For daytime sightseeing, ascend the CN Tower, admire the stately Casa Loma, visit the Royal Ontario Museum, or hunt for local produce in St. Lawrence Market.

🚍 Optional Niagara Falls Day Trip: As an unforgettable add-on, you can take a day trip to Niagara Falls, just a short distance away. Stand at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls as thousands of gallons of water thunder into the basin below, or extend your trip with an overnight stay to experience this natural wonder after dark.

✈️ Toronto – UK: On your final day in Toronto or from Niagara (if you’ve chosen to extend your stay), we’ll collect you from your hotel and transfer you to the airport for your flight home to the UK.
