Canada – Niagara Falls to the Rockies + Rocky Mountaineer™ Rail Tour

Canada – Niagara Falls to the Rockies

Journey from Niagara’s tumult and the eastern cities to the majestic Rockies and sparkling Vancouver – this is glorious Canada in a nutshell!

Lake Louise

Château Frontenac, Québec City Experience the very best of this vast, beautiful country, on an escorted tour that takes in historic cities, exquisite mountain scenery, and one of Mother Nature’s greatest wonders. You’ll begin in lakeshore Toronto, from where you’ll take in the plunging Falls at Niagara, then head through picture-book Ontario via grand capital Ottawa to the contrasting French Canadian jewels of Montréal and historic, walled Québec City. You’ll then fly west, to Calgary and journey through the awe-inspiring Rockies to discover and explore delightful British Columbia and Vancouver, at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. A first three-night stay in cosmopolitan Toronto brings chances to discover the city’s glittering waterfront and sky-piercing CN Tower, explore colourful, contrasting historic neighbourhoods, wander the ultra-modern shopping malls, enjoy a vast choice of dining opportunities, and perhaps take in a show, before an unforgettable day at wondrous Niagara, where you’ll have the oncein-a-lifetime chance to take a helicopter ride over the tumult. Journey on the ‘Maple Leaf Trail’ along Lake Ontario’s northern shoreline, past handsome Kingston, and north to romantic capital Ottawa, then on to stylish Montréal, before a day in historic Québec City, North America’s only walled settlement, overlooking the mighty St Lawrence River. Here you’ll have the chance to discover endlessly enthralling Vieux-Québec, before flying from Montréal to Calgary. From Calgary, the onward scenic journey takes you into the heart of the Rockies and to exquisite capital Banff, for a two-night stay. Take the opportunity to join exciting optional excursions that include a cable-car ride to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, a trip to scenic Surprise Corner, a viewpoint overlooking the famous Banff Springs Hotel, and a helicopter flight across the Rockies for a close-up view of the towering peaks. Continue to beautiful Lake Louise, where turquoise waters are set against the backdrop
