Canada Coast to Coast

This 17-night escorted tour with Just You travels the breadth of Canada, starting in the French-Canadian city of Montreal where history, open-air markets and Notre-Dame Cathedral create a quietly vibrant urban scene. After exploring Quebec City’s fortress walls and the battlefields of the Plains of Abraham, you cross into Ontario, stopping at a traditional sugar shack before wandering Ottawa’s Parliament and historic market.

From the cities east, the tour takes a large leap west to Banff, amid the Rocky Mountains, where lakes such as Lake Louise glint jade-green beneath towering peaks. Through the Okanagan Valley’s vineyards to vibrant Vancouver, the itinerary includes visits to Stanley Park and the atmospheric Gastown district. The final days bring the mountain village of Whistler and a stop at Shannon Falls on the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Though the distances are long, this is a measured pace allowing time in both urban and mountain settings, with evenings and afternoons free to explore further or rest. The varied itinerary covers Canada’s cultural heartland and its mountain wilderness without hurrying through.
