In Old Montreal we had some free time, so I wandered around Chinatown on my own and walked over to see Notre-Dame Basilica from the outside. Being without the guide actually felt more relaxed, since I could stop whenever I wanted.

In Old Montreal we had some free time, so I wandered around Chinatown on my own and walked over to see Notre-Dame Basilica from the outside. Being without the guide actually felt more relaxed, since I could stop whenever I wanted.
I recommend this tour!
In Old Quebec that day we walked a short stretch from where the bus parked into the core area, with the guide leading us on foot. The buildings had a very European feel, and I stood in front of Chateau Frontenac for a while just wanting to take a few more photos.
I recommend this tour!
The second day we drove all the way from Toronto to Montreal with stops in Kingston and Ottawa, so a lot of it was sitting on the bus. Still, passing Kingston City Hall and Queen's University along the way made the day feel pretty full.
I recommend this tour!
Airport transfers were included in the trip, so when I arrived in Toronto someone was there to pick me up and take me straight to the hotel, which saved me from figuring out the way myself. Not having to worry about transport after landing was something I appreciated.
I recommend this tour!
On the last day at Niagara Falls I went up the Skylon Tower, and the view over the falls and the surrounding area was really wide open. It was an optional add-on, and I figured I might as well go up while I was there. What I saw made the whole trip feel worth it.
