A Canada tour package is a smart way to see many of the beautiful, interesting and historically significant attractions in the country often called “The Great White North’. While ice hockey, maple syrup and the Mounties are all a part of the Canadian experience, tour packages offer you very much more.
Eastern Canada
When it comes to Eastern Canada tours, there are a variety of routes and Canada tour packages that start in Montreal or Toronto. Of course, if you are across the border, then you can easily find Eastern Canada tours that originate in New York or New Jersey.
Popular attractions on these Eastern Canada tours include:
• the 775-foot Skylon Tower topped by the Revolving Dining Room restaurant
• castles and mansions of the Thousand Islands
• a photo stop at the Notre Dame Basilica (once the largest church in North America)
• the heart-pounding roar of Niagara Falls witnessed from both sides of the border
Scheduled stops may vary with the season, to give you the optimum tour experience. For example, you may take a Lake Ontario cruise in the summer or visit gothic Casa Loma in the winter. If you wish to take a Maid Of The Mist cruise through the falls then the best dates for your trip are April/May to October/November. Apart from bus tours, you also have the option of helicopter tours that take you above the rainbow colored foam and spray for incredible aerial views of the majestic Niagara Falls. You may choose to tour by private plane as well, with visits to many of the scenic areas that surround the Falls, accompanied by your own professional tour guide.
While touring Eastern Canada, some cities you may visit are:
• wondrous Niagara Falls, Canada Side
• cosmopolitan Toronto
• quaint Old Montreal
• walled Quebec City
Western Canada
Perhaps, the attractions of Eastern Canada are not enough to satisfy your yearning to experience the country’s full beauty. In that case, Canada tours from Vancouver can take you across the length and breadth of the Canadian Rockies on the Westernside of the country, especially if you join a Canada rail package.
Some of the places you get to visit while riding the rails are:
• Columbia Icefield
• Jasper and Glacier National Parks
• historic Gastown
• the Gulf Islands
Aboard the train, you can enjoy the comfort of a private bedroom, meals and the opportunity to meet fellow explorers from around the world.
Whether your journey begins in Seattle, Vancouver or Calgary, Western Canada tours make the Canadian Rockies a staple of their itinerary. These Canadian Rockies vacation packages take into consideration the different modes in which you would like to make your way through the crisp and serene beauty of the Rockies. Multiday rail, bus and boat tours are all available which hold in store stops at
• Lakes Louise, Bow and Moraine
• Glacier Skywalk where the platform’s glass floor holds you 918 feet up from the ground below
• Victoria’s Chinatown and inner harbor
• Banff National Park
Vancouver tours may take you far and wide, but usually they also give you the opportunity to tour the offerings of this huge city set in a backdrop of natural beauty. Noted as Canada’s top city destination for visitors, Vancouver gives you all the expected modern amenities of a big city and the wide variety of outdoor recreational activities for which it is known. So, when visitors are not shopping or relaxing at a spa there is hiking, golfing, skiing and cycling for them to indulge in.
