DAY1 Boston - Niagara Falls

We will kick off our tour at 7:00am, traveling from Boston to Niagara Falls. When we arrive around 4:00 pm, we will embark on the "Maid of the Mist" boat cruise,* which will take us into the rapids at the very base of the Falls, allowing a breathtaking close-up view of this natural wonder and the clouds of mist created by the water’s powerful impact on the basin below. (Note: The “Maid of the Mist” is only available April – Oct.) For a panoramic view of the Falls from above, we will visit Goat Island, which overlooks the three distinct waterfalls which compose Niagara Falls: the Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Photos taken from this vantage point will give you memories to last a lifetime. We will also visit the Niagara Falls IMAX Theater* to hear incredible stories about the history of Niagara Falls and the daredevils who have braved its waters. If time permits, we will also visit the Canadian side of the Falls at night, when floodlights light the majestic cascade of water, illuminating the night with color.

DAY2 Niagara Falls - Toronto

This morning, we will continue to explore the Canadian side of the spectacular Falls. If time permits, we will also walk through Clifton Hill, the major shopping and tourist area in the town of Niagara Falls, Ontario, with gift shops, wax museums, haunted houses, restaurants, and themed attractions. In the afternoon, we will head to Toronto, where we will visit the CN Tower, the world’s tallest free-standing structure, as well as Rogers Centre, the immense stadium once called the “Sky Dome.” We will continue our tour by visiting the Toronto City Hall with its immense, futuristic architecture, the picturesque Ontario Legislative Building, and the pristine campus of the prestigious University of Toronto. We will eat dinner in Toronto’s Chinatown and you will have the night to explore the city at your leisure.

DAY3 Toronto - Thousand Island - Ottawa - Montreal

In the morning, we will leave Toronto, arriving around noon at the Thousand Islands, a stunning archipelago of more than 1800 islands which extends sixty miles into the northeast outlet of Lake Ontario. As we navigate among the islands on the Thousand Islands Cruise Boat,* we will have the opportunity to enjoy the clear water, picturesque landscape, and unique scenic attractions of the islands, as well as the many glamorous waterfront homes in this favorite living location for the wealthy. On the cruise, we will pass by the world-famous Boldt Castle, Millionaire's Row, and Zavicon Island. (Note: The Thousand Islands cruise is only available from May to October.) Our next stop will be Ottawa, the capital of Canada, where we will arrive around 3:00 pm. We will have a short tour of Parliament Hill, home of Canada’s parliament buildings, the Centennial Flame, and Peace Tower. When we arrive at Montreal, the world's second largest French-speaking city, at 6:00 pm, its stunning architectural sites such as the Notre Dame Basilica and Saint Joseph’s Oratory and the view from the Montreal Tower Observatory* at Olympic Park will leave you breathless!

DAY4 Montreal - Quebec - Boston

This morning we will visit Quebec City, the walled provincial capital of Quebec arriving around 9:00 am. On our walking tour of this quaint, historic city, we will pass by countless buildings and city squares that are steeped in history, like the waterfront Chateau Frontenac on its hill overlooking the city and Place Royale.
