TORONTO. NIAGARA FALLS VISIT. Skirt the shores of Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. Board the Maid of the Mist for a thrilling ride to view the thundering falls.

The operation of the Maid of the Mist cruise is subject to favorable weather conditions. Usually, favorable conditions exist from mid-May to late-October. When weather is unfavorable, a walking tour through the scenic tunnels will be substituted.

Day 3:
TORONTO–KINGSTON–OTTAWA. Leave Ontario’s capital and visit Kingston, a city with an interesting history dating back more than 300 years. Continue to quaint Gananoque and the lovely St. Lawrence Islands National Park, where you’ll enjoy an included scenic cruise along the St. Lawrence River, past wooded islands with their beautiful summer homes. Drive along the St. Lawrence Islands Parkway with splendid vistas of the St. Lawrence River. Then, head to Ottawa, Canada’s beautiful capital.

Day 4:
OTTAWA. This morning, enjoy a sightseeing tour of this lovely city, situated on the banks of the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal. See the Canadian Mint; the embassy district; stately Parliament Hill; and Rideau Falls, named for the curtain-like appearance they give. Visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Stables, a tribute to Canadian heritage and history. Suggestions for this afternoon include a visit to the magnificent Canadian Museum of Civilization or the array of restaurants and shops at lively Byward Market.

NOTE: Due to seasonal hours, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Stables will be closed and unavailable for a visit on the 9/2, 9/9, and 9/16 departures.

OTTAWA–QUÉBEC CITY. Drive into the French-Canadian province of Québec, where there is a sudden change in language and tradition. Follow the King’s Highway, tracing this historical route along the north shore of the mighty St. Lawrence River.

QUÉBEC CITY. Tour Canada’s only walled city, crowned by the great turrets of the Château Frontenac. Until the British victory of 1759, Old Québec was the center of New France and is one of the best-preserved cities in North America. Within the walls reside the Place d’Armes; the Laval Seminary; the star-plan Citadelle, with grand vistas from its bastions; and ancient Place Royale.
