Travel in Sault Ste. Marie

The fall colors were beautiful, and the Agawa Canyon train was the highlight for me. The ticket was an extra cost, but seeing Black Beaver Falls and Bridal Veil Falls made it worthwhile.

This tour covered both Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain in one day, with the Skyride included. Lunch was on my own, but I liked having that flexibility.

This route links the main cities of several eastern provinces, and ten days covered quite a lot. The drives were long, but stops like the Hartland Covered Bridge and the world's largest lobster statue kept things from getting dull.

The overall arrangement is practical and straightforward. The aurora hunting on the first night was the highlight—the guide knew the terrain well and adjusted positions based on cloud cover. The following nights were spent waiting in a cabin, which was more comfortable. The final day includes a direct transfer to the airport, so everything connects smoothly. Good for travellers who prefer not to arrange things themselves.

The flight itself was only 12 minutes, but the view over Horseshoe Falls and Rainbow Bridge from above was special. There was a short wait before boarding, and we watched a safety video first. The whole process went smoothly.

The ticket worked for two days in a row, with buses every half hour from 10am to 4pm. I found it really convenient for covering Old Montreal and the basilica. Round-trip transport and taxes were already included, which saved me the hassle.

The five-day route covered Niagara Falls, Toronto, Philadelphia, and DC, which felt packed but efficient. I was glad the Maid of the Mist and the Thousand Islands cruise were already included, so I didn't have to worry about buying tickets separately.

Five days covered Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal—it was a packed schedule, but we hit the main sights in each city. I especially liked Parliament Hill in Ottawa; the architecture is impressive.

Six days covered the major cities in the eastern US and Canada—a packed but well-organized route. My favorite part was the Niagara Falls night tour; the illuminated water was spectacular. It was a mandatory add-on at $45 per adult, but I felt it was worth it.

The train ride into Agawa Canyon was the scenic highlight for me, with red maples and waterfalls all around. The ticket had to be paid upfront and was non-refundable though, but luckily our trip ran as scheduled.
