Toronto tours and vacation packages start in the city and run east along the St. Lawrence to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, with the longest routes continuing to the Maritimes and Prince Edward Island. Niagara Falls lies south, close enough to work as a day trip and as the first stop on many longer routes. City tours cover the CN Tower, Casa Loma and Chinatown. Some routes cross the border into New York. Hotels, transport and a guide are included on multi-day trips.
Our best-selling trips leaving Toronto. Most run east to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, with the longest continuing to Halifax and Prince Edward Island. Coach transport and a guide are included on every trip; multi-day trips include hotels.
The train runs 183 km north from Sault Ste. Marie into a canyon reachable only by rail, then gives you 90 minutes on the canyon floor before the run back — about ten hours in all. Tours from Toronto pair the train with Muskoka, Algonquin or Niagara Falls on the drive up.
Niagara Falls is the only one you can see and be back the same day. Everything else runs east, and how far east decides how many nights you need. Pick a destination to see the routes that go there, prices and how many days you'll need.
| Trip | Days | You'll see | From | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day trips | 1 Day | The CN Tower, Casa Loma, Chinatown and Ripley's Aquarium, on guided city tours or as single attractions | $1 | One day out |
| Short trips | 2-4 Days | Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa on one loop, with Kingston and the Thousand Islands on the way | $92 | A first trip east |
| Vacation packages | 5+ Days | East to Halifax and Prince Edward Island, north to Agawa Canyon, or across the border into the United States | $267 | The whole east |
Most of what tours cover sits within a few blocks. The CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium share the same plaza, five minutes' walk from Union Station. Chinatown lies north and west of there, walkable in good weather. Casa Loma stands apart in midtown, up on a rise above the city, and usually gets its own stop on a route.
East, mostly. The main corridor runs along Highway 401 through Kingston and the Thousand Islands to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City — that is where most routes go, and where the shortest multi-day trips end. Longer routes continue to Halifax and Prince Edward Island, or turn north to Agawa Canyon. Niagara Falls is the one destination south, and the only one close enough to see in a day.
One day covers Niagara Falls, or the city itself. Three to four days is enough for Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa on a single loop, with Kingston and the Thousand Islands on the way — this is the most booked shape of trip from Toronto. A week and up is what the Maritimes need: Halifax is a long day's drive east on its own, and Prince Edward Island is further still.
Yes. It is about an hour and a half each way, which leaves several hours at the falls and gets you back to Toronto the same evening. Tours go to the Canadian side, which faces the Horseshoe Falls head on. If you want the falls lit after dark, an overnight makes more sense — and many of the longer eastbound routes include Niagara as their first stop anyway.
Toronto is in Ontario, Canada, so travelers arriving from the United States need a valid passport, and entry requirements differ by nationality and by US immigration status — green card and visa holders should confirm their own before booking. Some routes cross back into the United States, which means a second border check, so keep your documents with you rather than leaving them at the hotel. Otherwise: comfortable shoes and a layer for the evenings.
Late September into early October is the peak for fall colour, and the busiest window of the year on the routes north and east. The Agawa Canyon Tour Train runs from August to mid-October, and its foliage dates fill first, so book those early. Summer is the season for the Maritimes and the whale watching routes. Winter departures still run east to Montreal and Quebec City.
Several routes include airport pickup in Toronto, which takes the first day's logistics off you. In the city, Ripley's Aquarium and the CN Tower are flat and indoors; Casa Loma has stairs and sits on a rise. On the Agawa Canyon train you stay seated for most of the day, and the walk at the canyon floor is optional — the lookout climb is 300 steps and easily skipped. Routes east change hotels most nights, so shorter loops are gentler.
Meal stops are usually at cafeterias and food courts rather than set restaurants, so travelers order their own and vegetarian options are available at every stop. Stricter requirements such as Jain or halal depend on what each stop carries, so raise them before departure rather than on the day. Toronto's Chinatown and the markets in Montreal give the widest choice; the drive north to Agawa Canyon has the fewest. Day tours do not include meals; some multi-day routes include breakfast.
Choose a destination and a date, and book online. Your confirmation gives the pickup point and time in Toronto — these are set by the route rather than chosen at checkout. Prices are per person and change by season. Fall foliage dates fill first.
On some routes. Several multi-day tours from Toronto include an airport transfer, and the tour name says so. Routes without it start from a set pickup point in the city, given on your confirmation. If you are flying in the same morning, check the transfer before booking rather than after.
Some do. Routes connecting Toronto with New York cross the border, and a few longer packages run further south. Everyone on board needs documents valid for both countries, and the crossing is checked in each direction. Requirements differ by nationality and by immigration status, so confirm your own before booking. The tour page states whether a route crosses.
Routes from Toronto run in English and Mandarin Chinese or in English only, depending on the departure. The tour page shows which applies to your date. On the Agawa Canyon train the recorded commentary is separate from your guide and plays in English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin.
