Canada Winter Tours, ages 18-35 Ontario and Quebec

Welcome to Toronto! This multicultural city has surprises around every corner. After meeting and greeting this morning we’ll kick things off with a locally guided tour of the city – including the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, the eclectic shops of Yonge Street and the University of Toronto. Optionals today include heading up the CN Tower for the EdgeWalk, or grabbing tickets for a Maple Leafs hockey game, if our trip begins on the right day (subject to availability). After having our fill of the best of Toronto’s incredible food scene and nightlife, we’ll turn in for the night, ready for more adventures tomorrow.

Rise and shine, today we’re heading on a train to Montreal – this is the best way to see the spectacular surrounding countryside, without having to sit on a coach all day. Arriving in Montreal we’ll over-indulge in everything maple syrup, play the spoons or a washboard and just generally have an incredible time immersing ourselves in the Montreal way of life. From poutine to fresh bagels and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, this place has one of the most vibrant culinary cuisines in Canada, and we can’t wait to dive in. If you thought you knew what the REAL Canada was like, think again.

Today we’re headed of the woods and into the only remaining walled city in Canada, the heart of the Quebecois, Quebec City. But first, we need to properly introduce ourselves to Montreal on a city tour, with plenty of time to wander. With over 400 years of history to share, this is one captivating fairytale of stunning old world charm and culture – with a typically French passion for the finer things in life.

What better way to get acquainted with these storybook streets than taking a walking tour with a bilingual local guide, introducing you to the city’s old world charms? The rest of the day is yours to stroll the cobblestones and eat all the poutine your body can handle – or crepes, if you’re after something sweeter. If you’re not too full, we recommend taking a trip out to Montmorency Falls today- the smaller but no less beautiful cousin to Niagara. Hopefully your tolerance for poutine is still high as tonight’s dinner is at the inimitable Poutineville. Keep it coming…

We’re off to Ottawa this morning for a glimpse into life in our nation’s capital. Welcome to Ottawa, our fun-loving capital. We’ll take a city tour – including the national gallery and Ottawa River, before enjoying some time to do as we please – whether it’s a boat ride on the Rideau Canal or just strolling the streets. Exercise seems a good idea after all that Poutine in Quebec….

It’s our final day and the tour officially ends here. It’s your choice whether you want to depart from Ottawa and return home or jump on the train back to Toronto and spend some quality time doing things you weren’t able to do 5 days ago. The Steam Whistle Brewery is open for tours and maybe you can take in a Maple Leaf’s hockey game, if they’re in town. Accommodation: 5 nights of centrally-located hotels Meals: 5 breakfasts/2 dinners
