FAQs

New York City: A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
Montreal: Not necessarily. Most people in Montreal & Quebec speak both English and French. But a little “Un cafe, s'il vous plaît” might get you some extra brownie points!
Montreal: Canada’s huge. That means you’ll have some long coach journeys along the way. But it also means that you’ll have plenty of time to sit back, relax, soak in the stunning scenery and spend time with your Contiki crew.

Included Experience

Quebec City: Stretch your legs and discover this quaint fortified city.
Ottawa: This home of top-quality cheddar is now a major institution in Canada. A lil cheesy but we simply MUST take a look around!
Quebec City: A stroll around this citadelle is every history buff’s dream. Plus, there are some pretty cool photo ops.
Quebec City: On this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience, you’ll immerse yourself into the world of the Hurons – from canoes to traditional clothing, archery and dance performances.
Montreal: Visit a traditional Canadian ‘sugar shack’ for dinner and a tour. A sweet, sweet experience for all.
Niagara Falls: Take a trip to a natural wonder of the world, and truly the most mesmerising waterfall on the planet.
Niagara Falls: Top of the #travel goals! You haven’t lived until you’ve sailed past this incredible wall of water.
Toronto: Tour the iconic sights of the city, including the CN Tower, Rogers Centre baseball stadium, bustling Yonge Street and the University.

Itinerary

Day 1: Toronto to Ottawa

Your journey begins in Toronto BUT...we're off to Ottawa this morning for a glimpse into life in the nation's capital. Welcome to Ottawa, the fun-loving capital. We'll explore our new surroundings on a city tour before enjoying some time to see Ottawa your way - whether it's a boat ride on the Rideau Canal or just strolling the streets, you’ll have plenty of time for your own adventure. Exercise seems a good idea in preparation for all that Poutine in Quebec....

Accommodation: Days Inn (or similar)

Day 2: Ottawa to Quebec City

Au revoir Ottawa and bonjour Quebec City! With its cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, Quebec City’s UNESCO World-Heritage-listed old town is an open-air museum. It’s time to get out and explore more of what this region has to offer - we’re talking vibrant art scenes, Parisian-style eateries and quaint river boardwalks. We'll immerse ourselves in the history of the city on a tour with your Trip Manager, then once we've uncovered Quebec's hidden historical gems, it's time to fill up on a famous Canadian dish - Poutine! We’ll be sure to hit up a local eatery where it's well and truly the star of the show.

Accommodation: Hôtel Universel Québec Sainte-Foy (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 3: Quebec City

There's no better way to start the day than with fresh air and fantastic views, so let’s whisk ourselves away to Montmorency Falls this morning. If you're feeling adventurous, opt to soar across the falls on a zipline that will bring you even closer to this magnificent, natural phenomenon. Now that you're fully awake, we'll head back to Quebec where you'll have the afternoon to explore. You could check out the Chateau Frontenac - this red brick building built in 1983 is a landmark the city is definitely proud of. Or try munching on duck with maple syrup – a local delicacy. Oh and let’s not forget the awesome nightlife Quebec offers - it’s time to party French style!

Accommodation: Hôtel Universel Québec Sainte-Foy (or similar)

Day 4: Quebec City to Montreal

Bid Quebec goodbye as we head towards the jazzy island city of Montreal. The French-infused city is home to arts, mouth watering food and the prettiest panoramic scenic views.Together, we’ll take a spin around Montreal’s Old Port and quays where we’ll familiarise ourselves with a few signature sites. Failing that, you can always just wander around, trying out the best of your high school French.

Accommodation: Travelodge by Wyndham Montreal Centre (or similar)
Meals: Dinner

Day 5: Montreal

Today you’ll have a full day to explore Montreal – on your tod or with your squad. Fancy an adrenaline rush? Jump in a jet boat and get your heart pumping in the rapids of the St Lawrence River.

Day 6: Montreal To Niagara Falls

Still bopping along to the sax from the night before, we bid farewell Montreal. Experience Niagara Falls’ surging power first-hand on the Niagara Cruise boat by cruising right up to its thundering base. Looking to see things from a different perspective? You’ll also have the chance to soar above the action in a helicopter, whizz past it from the Wildplay Zipline or simply take in the scene from the safety of a viewing platform. And don’t worry – the ponchos are on us.

Rise and shine. Today’s the day you finally get to say “I’m taking a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls today.” Totally optional of course! Welcome to Toronto, the largest city in Canada. Your Trip Manager will fill you in on the hot spots of this fabulous city soon after we arrive and will then give you the afternoon to yourselves where you can find your niche in this cosmopolitan melting pot. If you want to enjoy an evening of laughter, look out for a legendary Second City improv show where some of the funniest people on the planet have trodden the boards. Joan Rivers, Martin Short, Eugene Levy and Bill Murray are just a few of the big names to have started out here over the past 60 years.

Ended up being a much smaller group than expected but everyone got really close with a lot "family" dinners most nights. Definitely much colder than some of us expected but overall had such a great time- our TM had such great maps for good coffee & food, came with us on some fun nights out and did some great walking tours through Quebec & Montreal. Trip was easy to book, feel like some of the accommodation could be nicer and more time in Ottawa would have been nice! An afternoon and a night (which already as a FTAO) means not that much time to explore the same way we got to explore Quebec & Montreal (which was great to have the extra time).
