Day 2

Toronto

Enjoy the whole day in and around Toronto, perhaps by visiting the CN Tower and the SkyDome, Ontario palace, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Ontario Science Centre or the Royal Ontario Museum. Toronto is a city packed with exciting attractions, shops and restaurants, with a fun and lively atmosphere.

Day 3

Toronto to Kingston (161 miles)

Day 4

Kingston to Montreal (180 miles)

En-route to Montreal today, you’ll enter the stunning Thousand Islands region which is renowned for its collection of verdant islands nestling on serene lakes – a truly beautiful location. Step aboard a cruise ship to explore this scenery and take in the views of captivating estates and sophisticated cottages. The cruise takes you past Boldt Castle, Millionaire’s Row and Zavikon Island.

Montreal

Montreal is a bustling city with a cosmopolitan edge and French-inspired culture – there are countless attractions to explore here to fill your day of leisure with. We recommend a visit to any of the following – the Notre-Dame Basilica, Old Montreal, the Olympic Site, the Biodome, Mt. Royal Park or the underground city.

Day 6

Montreal to Quebec City (155 miles)

On your way to Quebec City, we recommend stopping at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, which is Canada’s national shrine to the Virgin Mary. Whilst in Trois- Rivières, the Museum of Quebec Folk Arts and Traditions.

Day 7

Quebec City

Canada’s oldest city, Quebec City, is a fascinating blend of strong French heritage, breath-taking architecture and charming culture. The Fortifications, a historic national park, the Place Royal and the Basilica are all well worth visiting while you’re here. If you’re venturing slightly outside of the city, the dramatic shrine at Ste. Anne-de-Beaupré, Montmorency Falls and the Ile de’Orleans are all fantastic attractions to tick off your list.

Day 8

Quebec City to Ottawa (285 miles)

Today you’ll have the opportunity to visit some more local attractions en-route to Ottawa, including the Wolfe-Montcalm Monument or Dufferin Terrace. There are several routes to Ottawa which you can take.
