Highlights

Enjoy downtown pickup, then settle into a small-group setting limited to 27 guests. After a 90 minute ride, exit the mini coach and explore Niagara-on-the-Lake. Wander historical streets, browse charming boutiques, and sip artisanal coffee, then join the rest of the group for an expert-led tasting at a local winery. Board the mini coach again then drift along the scenic Niagara Parkway with narrated highlights as you take in views of Whirlpool Rapids, Queenston Heights, and the Floral Clock. At Niagara Falls, linger at Table Rock Centre for epic Horseshoe Falls vistas. In summer, feel the mist on the Niagara City Cruises boat; in winter, explore the tunnels on Journey Behind the Falls.

About Toronto

Toronto is Canada's biggest city, set on the shore of Lake Ontario, a patchwork of neighbourhoods under the tall needle of the CN Tower.

The CN Tower, 553 metres high, dominates a downtown skyline of glass towers, and the harbourfront below runs along Lake Ontario with ferries to the largely car-free Toronto Islands. The Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario are major collections, the St Lawrence Market is a long-established food hall, and the Distillery District has cobbled lanes between Victorian brick factories.

Top-ranked sights in Toronto: CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, Entertainment District.
