Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive Toronto

Arrive in Toronto, Canada's largest city and a dazzling mix of towering skyscrapers, multicultural neighbourhoods, and lakefront parks along Lake Ontario. Take the evening at your own pace: stroll the harbourfront for a view of the iconic CN Tower lit up against the skyline, browse the stalls of Kensington Market, or simply settle into your hotel and rest up. It's a relaxed start before the journey east through Ontario and Quebec begins in earnest.

Wander the manicured parkway along the Niagara River, browse the shops and viewpoints of Clifton Hill, and take in one of the most powerful displays of nature in North America.
