Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Arrive Toronto

    Welcome to the world’s most multiculturally diverse city, Toronto. Known to locals as the ‘Six’, Canada’s hipster enclave and largest city is all about unique neighbourhoods, fusion food, fascinating museums, vintage shopping and a healthy obsession with all things hockey. At the centre of it all is the city’s icon, the CN Tower, its 553 metre (1815 foot) spire dominating the landscape. After settling in to your hotel, you can wander around the district’s open-air markets which will no doubt get tummies rumbling. For dinner, why not head to near-by Kensington Market, arguably the most diverse of all the city’s neighbourhoods where the idea of fusion food is taken to all new heights.

  2. 2

    Niagara Falls Excursion

    Pack your sense of adventure this morning as you’re off to visit Niagara Falls! The biggest (and loudest) falls in North America, an incredible 3,160 tons of water thunder into the gorge below every second, creating a natural phenomenon many have dubbed the 8th Wonder of the World. You’ll be getting up close and personal on a cruise to Horseshoe Falls, allowing you to see both the Canadian and American sides. Remember that raincoat? Now’s the time to use it. Back in Toronto later, the rest of the day is yours to do as you please. Maybe head to Queen West to explore the neighbourhood’s impressive collection of art galleries and design studios, or take advantage of our CN Tower Choice Experience to test your head for heights.

  3. 3

    Toronto – Kingston – Ottawa

    Wave goodbye to Toronto and hit the road alongside the sparkling shores of Lake Ontario. First stop? Campbell’s Orchard, where you’ll hop on a wagon ride through the orchard and sip on fresh cider straight from the source. Next up is Kingston—stretch your legs with free time to explore or jump on a narrated Kingston harbour cruise as a Choice Experience. Think lake breezes, local legends and big views. Then it’s on to Ottawa, Canada’s cool and compact capital, where your evening is all yours. Want to wander the historic streets, find a cosy pub or just take it easy? Totally your call.

  4. 4

    Ottawa Sightseeing and Free Time

    Start your morning in Ottawa with a sightseeing tour of the city's icons: Sussex Drive, Royal Canadian Mint, National Gallery of Canada, Supreme Court of Canada, National War Memorial, National Arts Centre, Canada War Museum, Library and Archives Canada, and the stunning Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica. After your sightseeing, enjoy some free time for your Choice Experiences. Head to Byward Market’s vibrant indoor/outdoor open market for a quick bite or maybe experience culture and MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® with an authentic powwow dance performance with music by First Nations members at Mādahòkì Farm. You could also explore Ottawa's neighbourhood food markets, discover local produce and dishes and meet area chefs and food artisans on a food walking tour.

  5. 5

    Ottawa - Québec City

    Ready for some romance? Good news — elegant Québec City is calling. With cobblestone streets, leafy parks and grand architecture, this French-flavoured gem feels like Europe without the flight. This afternoon, you can choose to head out on a Choice Experience to Montmorency Falls. Take in the epic views, then round off the experience with a classic French dinner in Old Québec at a spot famed for its steak-frites and secret sauce.

  6. 6

    Québec City Sightseeing and Free Time

    After a croissant and coffee, head out with a Local Guide to explore Québec City’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. From the Plains of Abraham and Place Royale to the turreted Château Frontenac, this city knows how to show off. This afternoon, you can choose to join a Choice Experience at the Gilles family’s copper studio, where you’ll see their craft up close, try repoussé for yourself and enjoy coffee or tea with canelé cake. Then tonight, why not choose another Choice Experience and dive into Québec’s food scene on a tasty tour of local flavours and stories.

  7. 7

    Québec City – Montréal

    Get ready for Montreal sightseeing! We hope you're hungry this morning as for breakfast you'll be heading to the iconic Erabliere le Chemin du Roy, a traditional Cabane à Sucre (sugar shack) to learn how maple syrup, one of Canada's most famous exports, is made. You'll then make the short drive to Montreal, Canada's cultural capital where festivals, art, and a certain joie de vivre are all part of the daily make up. On arrival you'll meet up with a Local Guide for a city tour of the UNESCO-designated 'City of Design', admiring how old European style architecture sits naturally beside beautiful contemporary masterpieces in this popular destination city. This afternoon choose Montreal your way. North Montreal is full of hip neighbourhoods, beautiful parks, hidden alleyways, and vibrant street art. This evening with free time to explore, you could head out for dinner with the group or take your pick of one of the cute terraced restaurants along the river.

  8. 8

    Depart Montréal or Toronto

    And just like that, you’ve experienced the very best of Eastern Canada. From Toronto’s trendy microbreweries to Québec City’s timeless romance, you’ll be finishing your trip this morning with happy memories, and no doubt a longing to see what the rest of Canada has in store. Leave Montréal at your own pace, or take it easy with a transfer back to Toronto where you will arrive at the Toronto International airport at approximately 16:00– the choice is yours.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
