During your time in the Rockies, enjoy world-class sightseeing and attractions including a scenic ride up the Banff Gondola, a remarkable viewing opportunity at the Glacier Skywalk, and venturing out onto the Athabasca Glacier for the Glacier Adventure. Your eastbound journey begins onboard VIA Rail bound for Toronto.
Witness breathtaking landscapes as this fascinating two-day journey guides you through the western prairies and across the immense boreal forest reflected in the lakes of northern Ontario.
To finish off this unforgettable tour, travel the orchard-laden Niagara Peninsula to Niagara Falls, one of the great wonders of the world. Experience the famous “Voyage to the Falls” boat tour, and travel along the beautiful River Road and Niagara Gorge, before your tour, concludes in Toronto.
