Itinerary

DAY1 Boston - Montreal: (320miles)

Our tour leaves Boston at 7:00 am en route to our destination for the day, Montreal, Quebec. Along the way, we’ll pass by beautiful Lake Champlain as we drive through to New Hampshire, Vermont, and upstate New York, arriving in Montreal in the early afternoon. We’ll visit the Olympic Stadium, built to host the 1976 Summer Olympics, where we’ll ride to the top of the Olympic Tower*, 175 meters above the ground, set at 45-degree angle, representing the tallest inclined tower in the world. The Montreal Biodome* is right next door, containing four different habitats and preserving countless species of wildlife within. We’ll then head to Mount-Royal and the old district of Montreal, where you will see the renaissance-styled Roman Catholic basilica called St. Joseph’s Oratory, which took over half a century to complete. After browsing through Old Montreal, we head to our hotel in the city for the night.

Head out of Ottawa, we’ll visit the Thousand Islands, where we’ll be able to explore the archipelago aboard a Thousand Islands Boat Cruise*, which will take you around some of the most beautiful scenery that the region has to offer, before arriving at Toronto in time for dinner and a night’s rest in Canada’s most populous city.

After drying off, we’ll then head to Goat Island, the oldest state park in the U.S., which offers spectacular views of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Not to be missed is the IMAX Experience Niagara Falls*, which will provide you with perspective on the lore, legends, and daredevilry associated with this wonder of the world. Or head up the Skylon Tower*, to a 360 degree in-door and out-door observation deck to see the whole expanse of the collective waterfalls pouring into the gorge.

I took this tour and I didn't expect much, but it covered a lot of beautiful attractions. The tour guide, Simon was great, very informative, he gave us every details of where we were heading to and what to expect, also his wife was nice. The driver was professional, we felt safe having him on the bus. I was glad that I brought a lot of cash to pay for the entrance tour fees. Overall, I enjoyed this tour very much, it was such a fantastic trip, worth every penny. I'm going to book this tour for my mom and my little brother next month.

This tour was a great value! It's very good for families or people who've never been to Canada before. The bus driver was great. The tour guide however was a little lazy when we got off the bus. I.e. He never showed us the entrance to the Ottawa state capital and we wasted all our time looking for it. Would be great if they included Notre Dame Montreal as an attraction.

The Tour was really worth the money. The Bus Driver/Guide spoke English very well. He was very courteous and friendly. He gave very clear instructions well in advance. We had a little bit of problem with the Bus Microphone, a bit noisy. Overall a great tour. I have recommended to my friends to go for it. A nice job by Mr. Ming.

I have no complaints the Tour Guide was very thorough in explaining what to expect on the tour and explaining the rules. He was very curteous and knowledgeable a great tour guide. The Bus driver was also a great bus driver. I felt very safe. It should have been explained that the tour fees needed to be paid to the tour guide up front. Which was nice it saved a lot of time. Thanks Ming

Overall the tour was good, our tour guide and driver were friendly. Except the tour bus's battery died (almost didn't make it back) and we came back around midnight. We would join this tour again if they have a better working vehicle.

An economical way to visit places in quick succession. The bus ride was comfortable. Hotel stays were good. The tour guide gave clear instructions on times and places but not much more. Need to have cash to pay tips and admission fees in advance.
