Itinerary
Day 1 TORONTO
Honolulu, Hawaii at dusk
Welcome to cosmopolitan Toronto, Ontario’s capital and
Canada’s largest city. Enjoy time at leisure to relax or to do some
independent exploring. Your Tour Director is on hand this evening to
answer any questions.
Day 2 TORONTO – NIAGARA FALLS VISIT
Skirt the shores of Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls, one of
the natural wonders of the world. Board the MAID OF THE MIST for a
thrilling ride to view the thundering falls. Sightseeing also includes
the beautiful Floral Clock. See Toronto’s major landmarks on today’s city
tour, including the banking district, City Hall, the CN Tower, the
University of Toronto, and ultra-modern SkyDome Stadium. This evening,
enjoy an optional outing to the top of the CN Tower for a delicious
dinner and spectacular views.
NOTE:
The operation of the
Maid of the Mist cruise is subject to favorable weather conditions.
Usually, favorable conditions exist from mid-May to late-October. When
weather is unfavorable, a walking tour through the scenic tunnels will be
substituted.
Day 3 TORONTO – KINGSTON – OTTAWA
Ottawa
Leave Ontario’s capital and visit Kingston,
a city with an interesting history dating back more than 300 years.
Continue to quaint Gananoque and the lovely St. Lawrence Islands National
Park, where you’ll enjoy an included SCENIC CRUISE along the St. Lawrence
River, past wooded islands with their beautiful summer homes. Drive along
the St. Lawrence Islands Parkway with splendid vistas of the St. Lawrence
River. Then, head to Ottawa, Canada’s beautiful capital.
Day 4 OTTAWA
This morning, enjoy a sightseeing tour of this lovely
city, situated on the banks of the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal. See
the Canadian Mint; the embassy district; stately Parliament Hill; and
Rideau Falls, named for the curtain-like appearance they give. Visit the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police stables, a 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 lively Byward Market.
Day 5 OTTAWA – QUÉBEC CITY
Québec City
Drive into the French-Canadian province of Québec, where
there is a sudden change in language and tradition. Follow the King’s
Highway, tracing this historical route along the north shore of the
mighty St. Lawrence River. Late-afternoon arrival in historic Québec
City, the heart of French Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tonight, join our optional outing to an Old World French restaurant with
time afterward to stroll through historic Old Town and an inside visit to
the Château Frontenac at night.
Day 6 QUÉBEC CITY
Tour Canada’s only walled city, crowned by the great
turrets of the Château Frontenac. Until the British victory of 1759, Old
Québec was the center of New France and is one of the best-preserved
cities in North America. Within the walls reside the Place d’Armes; the
Laval Seminary; the star-plan Citadelle, with grand vistas from its
bastions; and ancient Place Royale. Also see the stone houses crowding the
narrow streets of Lower Town by the St. Lawrence River. The afternoon and
evening are free, and your Tour Director will have suggestions for
sightseeing, shopping, and dining.
