Canada's Eastern Splendours

Just You’s escorted tour of eastern Canada takes in familiar names alongside some less commonplace stops. Starting in Montreal with its Gothic Revival Notre Dame Basilica and colonial old port, the route then moves to Quebec City. This 400-year-old fortified settlement centres on La Citadelle, with streets patrolled by costumed guards and views dominated by the Chateau Frontenac hotel.

From Quebec, the tour crosses provincial lines to Ottawa. Here, highlights include the walk around Parliament Hill and the chance to see the changing of the guard at Rideau Hall if time allows. A boat cruise through the Thousand Islands reveals grand estates offering a softer contrast to the city sights. The final days take in Toronto, with its CN Tower views, and Niagara Falls, where you choose how close you want to get to the three waterfalls, whether from river level or the air.

The pace mixes guided tours with free afternoons, allowing more personal discovery amid Canada’s eastern cities and landscapes. The tour concludes with a leisurely morning in Toronto before the flight back to the UK.
