Canada's Capital Cities plus Niagara Falls

Tauck's eastern Canada, featuring Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls vacation explores four eastern Canadian cities with distinctly diverse cultural backgrounds.
Stay at premier Fairmont hotels, each a historic landmark in itself, along with visits to Quebec's Montmorency Falls and Ontario's Niagara Falls. Special experiences include a cruise on the St. Lawrence River among the Thousand Islands; and a close-up look at one of the world's most iconic sites, the thundering waters of Niagara Falls, on a trip aboard the nostalgic Maid of the Mist.
Day 1: Welcome to Toronto
Tauck’s Canadian capitals and Niagara Falls vacation begins at 5:30 PM at The Fairmont Royal York. A transfer from Toronto International Airport to The Fairmont Royal York upon arrival is included. Join us for a private, after-hours tour, welcome reception and dinner at the amazing Royal Ontario Museum, a special experience for Tauck guests only!
Lodging The Fairmont Royal York
Description Once the tallest building in the British Empire, this 1929 Art-Deco structure is a well-respected and beloved Toronto landmark. Wonderfully situated “at the center of it all” in the heart of Toronto, The Fairmont Royal York offers a high standard of traditional, old-world luxury and impeccable service, even employing Canada’s only professional tea connoisseur.
Day 2: Toronto sights
Begin today’s sightseeing at the CN Tower, one of the tallest freestanding structures on Earth, with a self-guided tour before viewing other Toronto landmarks such as Harbourfront Centre, the University of Toronto, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Eaton Centre and Dundas Square with time to do a little exploring in the Distillery District, with its brick-lined streets and restored Victorian industrial buildings now housing galleries, boutiques and cafés. The rest of the day is free to discover Toronto as you please. Dine at your leisure at your hotel this evening.

Day 3 :Wet and wild Niagara Falls
A Niagara Falls vacation isn’t complete without a ride on the Maid of the Mist to the foot of the falls, which thunder down almost 200 feet from the Niagara River above. The hooded raincoat you’ll put on when you climb aboard will help to keep you dry during your own up-close-and-personal encounter. Said by some to be the loveliest town in Ontario, discover Niagara-on-the-Lake after an ice wine tasting at a local winery.

Day 4: Thousand Islands Cruising
The First Nations people of this area where Ontario and the United States meet called this the “Garden of the Great Spirit” and it won’t be hard to understand why as you cruise through the Thousand Islands today. Lush woods and sparkling water surround you as you glide past both humble and grand summer homes on the islands. Continue on to Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, for a two-night stay at the impressive Fairmont Château Laurier, which may remind you of a grand French château. Dine at your leisure at Wilfrid’s Restaurant at the hotel.
Lodging Fairmont Château Laurier
Description Located in the heart of city, next to the Parliament Buildings, and on both Confederation Square and the Rideau Canal, the magnificent Fairmont Château Laurier evokes the old-word charm of a classic French château while reflecting Canada’s dynamic, thriving capital.
Day 5 : Stately Ottawa
With its stately architecture, Ottawa looks every bit as a nation’s capital city should look. A guided tour takes in Canada’s Parliament and the House of Commons before a guided visit to the Museum of Civilization, showcasing Canada’s cultural heritage from the ancient past to the present day. The afternoon and evening are free to spend as you choose in this splendid city.

Day 6: The Mounties and Montreal
With their scarlet tunics, distinctive Stetson hats and magnificent black horses, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are as iconic a symbol of Canada as the maple leaf. Chat with a retired RCMP officer who will answer all your questions about the “Mounties.” After lunch in Vaudreuil, continue on to Montreal where a city tour by motor coach will introduce you to this French-speaking city that is both the second largest in Canada and the second-largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris.
Day 7: Montreal with an epicurean twist
An array of tastes and treats await you on a walking tour of Old Montreal, the city’s historic heart once surrounded by walls, stopping along the way to sample some of its distinctive local flavors. The day ends with dinner at a popular local restaurant to cap a day of epicurean pleasures.
Lodging Hilton Montreal Bonaventure
Description Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure features a unique landscaped rooftop garden with waterfalls and year-round heated swimming pool.
Day 8: Montmorency Falls and then Quebec City
After all the maple leaves you’ve seen, you’ve probably guessed that all things maple are dear to Canadian hearts. Today, enjoy an authentic taste of Canada – maple ice – in Trois Rivières in the heart of French Canada. Have lunch at Montmorency Falls… 98 feet higher than the falls people see on a Niagara Falls vacation! Continue on to Quebec City for a two-night stay at one of Canada’s most iconic hotels, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac.
Lodging Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac
Description Perched majestically high on a bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence River, the stately Fairmont Le Château Frontenac truly symbolizes the charm and elegance of Quebec City.
Day 9: A touch of Europe in Quebec City
Consistently ranked among the best cities in the world in which to live, Toronto is Canada's most populous city, as well as its financial, cultural and entertainment capital. Explore it on a guided sightseeing tour that includes the downtown and residential areas as well as the grand Parliament Buildings and the University of Toronto. Visit one of the city's most visible icons, the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the world. The rest of the day is free for you to pursue what interests you most from your historic hotel in the heart of the city; Toronto is a lively city for the arts! Mark the end of a memorable journey with this evening's farewell cocktail reception and dinner.
