Over two weeks and three time zones, this guided coach tour of Canada travels across the country from east to west. It all kicks off in lively Montreal with a mix of history and university buzz, before Quebec City brings cobbled streets and old-world charm to the party, plus the chance to chase whales or waterfalls. From there, it's off to Ottawa for canals, markets, and a sweet stop at a sugar shack, then down to big, bold Toronto with a side of misty Niagara magic. A quick hop west lands you in Calgary, gateway to the Rockies, before you wind through those sensational peaks and dazzling lakes in Banff and Canmore. There are glacier walks, soaring highways, and even a floatplane (if you're keen) as you roll into Whistler. The grand finale? Vancouver. A mix of glass towers, salty air, forest trails, and a fabulous food scene. Find out more about Jonview Escorted Tours.

Fly to Toronto for a whirlwind few days in one of Canada’s finest cities. From there, edge closer to the USA border to stay close to the action in a hotel that overlooks Niagara Falls. Take an unforgettable boat ride to Table Rock and feel the power of the Falls and take to the skies on a helicopter ride above the falls before visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake, a flower-filled town with quaint shops.

Double up on the adventure and see two of Canada cities in one go on a self-guided trip that takes you from glistening glass skyscrapers to the stunning Great Outdoors. Toronto offers a fusion of cultures with beers on tap, jerk tacos and souvlaki at your fingertips, quirky bookstores and independent boutiques. Next, swap Toronto’s CN Tower and design museums for Vancouver’s Douglas firs and Pacific Ocean. Here, takes any turn you want; wet and wild rides alongside humpback whales, aerial strides over rainforest bridges or nostalgic strolls through Gastown’s lamp-lit streets.

Both of these giant cities flaunt distinct neighbourhoods that’ll draw you in – from Toronto’s fabulous Kensington Market to New York’s glittering Manhattan. Spend enough time in Toronto to get to know the city and head to Niagara Falls before jetting over the border to New York, where you can compare and contrast these two world-class metropolises.
