Embark on a shorter version of our popular Lower and Upper Canada Fly Drive on this 8 day journey through the urban centres and rural splendour of Ontario and Quebec celebrating Canada’s English and French heritage. Travel from cosmopolitan Toronto and the natural wonder of Niagara Falls to historic Kingston and its tranquil 1000 Islands. Then, travel east and cross into Quebec and explore Montreal, the second-largest French-speaking city in the world. The route continues along the St. Lawrence River to the walled centre of Quebec City before turning inland to the Saguenay region. Traverse the rolling hills and dense forests of the Mauricie / Bois-Francs region en route to Trois Rivières and Montreal. Returning to Ontario, the neo-gothic Parliament Buildings of Ottawa promise both to impress and delight. |
