Tour overview

This 14-day escorted tour links the great cities of eastern Canada and the north-east United States. A tour director travels with you throughout by coach, with local experts in key cities and several relaxed starts. You stay thirteen nights in well-located hotels, with breakfast daily, a lunch and six dinners, including a cooking demonstration with dinner and wine in Ottawa.

After a welcome dinner in Toronto you visit the thundering Niagara Falls, then historic Kingston on the way to Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Montreal, with its old town and Mount Royal, is followed by Montmorency Falls and two nights in Quebec City, its walled old town a World Heritage Site.

Crossing into the United States, you explore Boston, the cradle of liberty, then spend two nights in New York with time for Manhattan’s landmarks. You visit Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell on the way to Washington, D.C. for a tour of its monuments and a farewell dinner.
