7-Day Eastern Canada Road Tour: Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal & Quebec City
A seven-day coach loop through Eastern Canada that pairs the raw power of Niagara Falls with the city textures of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Québec City. Expect waterfalls, river cruises, historic quarters and practical, border-aware logistics.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring your passport
Border crossings between the U.S. and Canada are frequent; carry your passport and any required visas at all times to avoid missed connections.
Waterproof layers for the falls
Mist from Hornblower cruises and observation decks soaks clothing—pack a light, breathable rain shell and quick-dry layers.
Book optional extras in advance
Hornblower boat, Skylon lunch, and Thousand Islands cruises sell out on peak days—reserve them before you travel to lock in time slots.
Time your flights after drop-off
If using the tour’s drop-off airports, schedule flights after the recommended times (usually after 19:00) to avoid rushed departures.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Dufferin Islands (quiet park and ponds just below the Canadian side of Niagara Falls)
- •Lachine Canal (Montreal) — a peaceful waterside bike path away from Old Port crowds
Wildlife
- •Great blue heron
- •White-tailed deer
Conservation Note
Parks and riverfronts limit access and enforce leave-no-trace practices—stay on marked paths and avoid tossing anything into waterways; boat operators follow strict wake and wildlife guidelines.
This corridor reflects centuries of trade and colonization: Indigenous waterways became routes for European fur traders, then strategic sites during British-French conflicts and industrial expansion in the 19th century.
Photographer's Notes
