Are there additional charges for participating in all activities? Can I do more than two activities in the paragraph labeled additional services?

All activities during the trip are included in the trip rate. On Day 6 of your itinerary, you'll have the chance to select between two activities.

What time of day should we plan for arriving in Toronto?

You can arrive anytime on the first day of your preferred trip date since, your meet up with the travel director is approximately 06:00pm.

Would like to do a cruise around the 1,000 islands. Is there option to fit this into the intenery?

This tour doesn't include a cruise around the 1,000 islands. You can arrange this on your own but only if you have free time. Otherwise, you can arrange it before or after the tour.

I am interested in this tour to Niagara Falls.

Get up close and personal with the mighty Falls! Experience the awesome power, thundering water, and amazing mist from a state-of-the-art eco-catamaran, making it a perfect and memorable way to experience this natural wonder. After the rush of excitement and the rush of water, slow down and explore Niagara-on-the-Lake, a beautifully preserved 19th-century village in the heart of Ontario wine country. The flower-filled, tree-lined town features old-world architecture, boutique shopping, and plenty of character allowing for a truly charming time.

Included hotel accommodation.

Land-only bundle is included in our package. Hotel accommodations and transfers are provided for the duration of the tour.

Local guides were generally well chosen - Jim the tuna fisherman and the lobster boat presentation were exceptionally good. The Rossignol winery was a waste of time. Alan the Acadian needs an editor. The Cabot Trail experience was not great - too much driving for too few iconic views. Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy was much better, by way of contrast, but could have spent an extra hour there. Also at the AG Bell museum in Baddeck. Overall we enjoyed it but found the pace generally too rushed.Show more
