My husband and I would like to stay at Niagra Falls for 2 or 3 days but would really like to join your 8 day tour. How can we do this?

This tour you have enquired about does not include multiple nights in Niagara Falls. Instead there is a day excursion. Unfortunately, we are not able to extend to a few nights for this stay. You may need to visit Niagara Falls for a few nights before or after the tour.

I am interested in the trip to Canada. My sister is vegan. Do the areas we stop at have restaurants with vegan options or vegan restaurants.

We understand that people have certain needs and preferences when it comes to their meals and our guests should have a choice of items for each included meal. While some hotels and restaurants may be able to accommodate a special diet, there is no way for us to guarantee this. Please be advised that the guest will need to work directly with the hotel manager, maître d', and restaurant staff while traveling to ensure their dietary needs are met.

Is the C$128 gratuity covering all 8 days of the tour?

The prepaid gratuities will cover the duration of the tour. This will be $128 CAD per person. The gratuities will cover the Tour Director and the Driver, all others will have to be paid directly.

Could you confirm if the $626 for GST/HST includes any additional charges for tips? Also, could you let us know how many meals are included?

The HST/GST Taxes do not include the gratuities. You are able to add the pre-paid gratuities for an additional $128 CAD per person. There are no included meals but each hotel does have an on-site restaurant.

Can we know the hotels we will be staying. Also is Breakfast included. what are the optional excursions available

Fantastic tour with a fantastic tour guide with a large wealth of knowledge about eastern / French Canada and its history! Canada is a huge country so there are a few days were you spend it mostly on the bus with some stops every few hours, but DO NOT let that discourage you from taking this tour. The beautiful countryside you can see out the bus windows is amazing and the long distance drives are more than worth it for the things you will see!Show more

This was an "8-day" tour starting in Toronto and ending in Montreal. As a New Zealand author of novels and short stories, I have travelled widely (about 23 countries). This is my fifth coach tour, the others being through Europe with Trafalgar and Expat Explore. In comparison, the hotels used by Cosmos were superior and all but one were located near shops, supermarkets and attractions. On the second day, the tour kicked off with a hiss and a roar as we travelled to Niagara Falls and for me, the highlight was being on a large boat at the bottom of the falls. Old Quebec City was another highlight together with its interesting history involving the French and English. Our tour leader, Nadine, did an excellent job giving the history and attending to our needs. The coach driver, Dave, was also very friendly and helpful. My wife and I took advantage of two optional excursions: A traditional sugar-shack Dinner, and Quebec countryside dinner and Montmorency Falls. I would recommend the latter. At the end of the seventh day, the tour ended. Brian WilsonShow more
