Montreal: Do I need to learn French before visiting Quebec and Montreal? Not necessarily. Most people in Montreal & Quebec speak both English and French. But a little “Un café, s’il vous plaît” might get you some extra brownie points! Quebec City: Stretch your legs and discover this quaint fortified city. Ottawa: This home of top-quality cheddar is now a major institution in Canada. A lil cheesy but we simply MUST take a look around! Quebec City: A stroll around this citadelle is every history buff’s dream. Plus, there are some pretty cool photo ops. Niagara Falls: Take a trip to a natural wonder of the world, and truly the most mesmerising waterfall on the planet. Niagara Falls: Top of the #travel goals! You haven’t lived until you’ve sailed past this incredible wall of water. Toronto: Tour the iconic sights of the city, including the CN Tower, Rogers Centre baseball stadium, bustling Yonge Street and the University. Quebec City: On this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience, you’ll immerse yourself into the world of the Hurons – from canoes to traditional clothing, archery and dance performances.

Transport

Montreal: How much driving is on this trip? Canada’s huge. That means you’ll have some long coach journeys along the way. But it also means that you’ll have plenty of time to sit back, relax, soak in the stunning scenery and spend time with your Contiki crew.
