Canada – Toronto Stopover
Explore the tour day by day, from the highlights to the quieter moments in between. Here’s how each day unfolds and what to expect along the way.
Arrive at Toronto Pearson International Airport where you will be met and taken by private transfer to your hotel.
You’ll be within easy reach of the city’s top attractions, so why not head out right away to explore? Head to Toronto’s famous CN Tower – your tickets will already be booked – for a 450-metre ascent and panoramic views over the city. You’ll get your bearings and get to see Canada’s largest city in all its glory.
Today, you’ll get to enjoy a short 1-hour cruise through the Toronto Harbour, taking in scenic skyline views and historic landmarks, as well as passing through the Toronto Islands, a chain of 15 small islands just south of the harbour.
Afterwards, explore the vast waterfront and downtown of multicultural Toronto – you’ll find plenty to see and do, like visiting the Royal Ontario Museum with the world’s largest fossil collection. End the day with some excellent dining, which can be found across the city’s diverse neighbourhoods, such as Kensington Market, Portugal Village, Greek Town, Chinatown and Koreatown.
This morning, you will depart from downtown Toronto for a full-day tour of Niagara Falls. One of North America’s most breath taking natural wonders, you’ll get to witness the incredible sight of millions of gallons of water – around a fifth of the world’s fresh water – plunging over sheer cliffs, as well as pass through some the area’s beautiful surroundings, including the Niagara Parkway, which winds along the Niagara Gorge and the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. You’ll get historical commentary and fascinating facts from your knowledgeable guide throughout the experience.
Take a private transfer back to Toronto Pearson International Airport from your hotel.
