Day 2: Toronto. Included sightseeing - Niagara Falls. Included boat cruise.
See Toronto's major landmarks today, including the banking district, City Hall, the CN Tower, the University of Toronto and Roger's Stadium. Today also visit thundering Niagara Falls. View the falls from above, and then come aboard the Maid of the Mist for a close up view from the river below the falls.
Note: The operation of the Maid of the Mist cruise is subject to favourable weather and/or river conditions. Usually favourable conditions exist from May to the end of October. When unfavourable conditions exist, a walking tour through the scenic tunnels will be substituted.
Day 3: Toronto - Kingston - Gananoque. Included boat cruise - Ottawa.
Leave Ontario's capital and stop in Kingston, a city with an exciting history dating back more than 300 years. We continue to quaint Gananoque and the lovely St Lawrence Islands National Park, where you'll enjoy our included scenic cruise along the St Lawrence River, past wooded islands with their beautiful summer homes. Then proceed along the route of the Rideau Canal to Ottawa, standing at the confluence of the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau rivers.
Day 4: Ottawa. Included sightseeing.
Queen Victoria chose this small lumber town as the site for Canada's capital, neatly avoiding the conflicting views of Toronto and Montreal. This morning see the Canadian Mint, the embassy district, stately Parliament Hill and Rideau Falls. Also visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stables, a living tribute to Canadian heritage and history. Suggestions for this afternoon include a visit to the magnificent Canadian Museum of Civilization or the array of restaurants and shops at the lively Byward Market.
Day 5: Ottawa - Quebec City.
Today we drive east into the French-Canadian province of Quebec, where you'll notice a change in language and tradition. Journey along the picturesque Ottawa River Valley. Late afternoon arrival in historic Quebec City, the heart of French Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This evening join our optional outing to a typical Quebecois restaurant with time afterwards to stroll through the historic Old Town and enjoy the illuminated Chateau Frontenac at night.
Day 6: Quebec City. Included sightseeing.
Start the day with a guided tour of North America's only walled city, crowned by the great turrets of the Chateau Frontenac. Until the British victory of 1759, Old Quebec was the centre of New France and is now one of the most historic and best-preserved cities in North America. Within the walls is the Place d'Armes, the Laval Seminary, the star-plan Citadelle. Also see the stone houses crowding the narrow streets of Lower Town and ancient Place Royal by the St Lawrence River and the historic Plains of Abraham where General Wolfe stormed the slopes. The afternoon is at leisure and your Tour Director will have plenty of suggestions on things to see and do.
