Moving into rural Quebec, the routes cover the Charlevoix region, known for its whale watching in the St. Lawrence and artisanal food producers. Our travelers particularly like the small auberges we use - they're family-run spots with excellent local cooking. The fall tours are especially popular when the maple forests turn red, orange and also yellow.

Both Intrepid and Globus come up regularly in our travelers' feedback as solid choices for guided tours. Intrepid tends to shine with guides like Simon, who gets lots of positive comments for reading the group well and adjusting plans when needed. The tours run smoothly, and you can tell their guides really know their material without being too rigid about it. Globus takes a slightly different approach - they're known for really detailed itineraries and nicer hotels, plus their guides Scott and Daniel get mentioned often for keeping things organized while still being fun to travel with. They handle those inevitable travel hiccups without missing a beat. One small note about Globus - some of our travelers mention there can be quite a lot of information to take in during the tours. But most people actually appreciate this, saying it helps them understand everything they're seeing and experiencing. If you're the type who likes to really dig into the history and background of places, you'll probably find this a plus rather than a drawback. Both companies consistently deliver what they promise in different ways - Intrepid with their flexible, group-focused approach and Globus with their well-researched, comprehensive style.

"Our guide was fabulous. I learned a lot from her. The bus we had was very noisy, it shimmied, and was difficult to control the temperature throughout the bus. I would have preferred to have paid more money for the lobster supper and had a more refined dining experience. It was too rushed so all our courses were just piling up on our small table. The chowder tasted like flour and water. Another meal (can’t remember at what stop) our lobster and crab rolls were just on cold hamburger buns. I enjoy a dining experience, but unfortunately that was non-existent.

"The cities we saw were great. I would have enjoyed more time in Montreal and less time in Toronto. I did not like our accommodations in the Sepia Hotel in Quebec City. The room was nice but smelled musty or smoky and the floor was sticky. The shower floor was incredibly slippery and there were no hand rails for safety. Our guide,Marilyn, was great.

Best places to start your Eastern Canada tour
Halifax has become the go-to starting point, with 42 of our travelers kicking off their tours there, while Toronto sees 21 departures, Corner Brook handles 12 starts and Montreal and also Quebec City manage 6 and 5 respectively. Our booking data tells us most people lock in their spots about 148 days ahead - that's roughly 5 months before departure. This early planning really matters for these small-group experiences since spaces tend to fill quickly. Our travelers often tell us they love starting in Halifax - its maritime character, rich history and walkable waterfront help them settle into the Atlantic Canada vibe. We're seeing more people opt for fall departures lately; you still get great whale watching but with beautiful fall colors and noticeably fewer tourists around.
Eastern Canada tours for every type of group
Who are you traveling with?
Group
149 tours in Eastern CanadaThe social side really shines on our Eastern Canada group tours. The 7-day Maritime routes bring people together over PEI lobster feasts, shared moments watching the world's highest tides at Hopewell Rocks and evening gatherings in Halifax. Our customers often tell us how much better whale watching is when you share the excitement with new friends, same goes for exploring the Thousand Islands. The Newfoundland Viking Trail creates especially tight-knit groups, between shared local meals in coastal towns and group walks through Gros Morne National Park.
Small Group
14 tours in Eastern CanadaWith just 12-16 people, our small group tours keep things personal. The Bay of Fundy trip gets great feedback for its intimate feel - you'll enjoy fresh lobster dinners on a working boat and explore Joggins Fossil Cliffs with guides who have time for all your questions. Our travelers really like how flexible these small groups are at Hopewell Rocks, timing visits perfectly with the tides and taking extra time for photos. You'll also get to visit places bigger groups can't, like Grand Pre's UNESCO site and local wine estates.
Private / Personalized
25 tours in Eastern CanadaPrivate Quebec tours blend city and nature with flexible schedules that adapt to you. Your personal guide will show you Quebec City's local spots, from chocolate makers on Ile d'Orleans to quiet sunset views along the St. Lawrence. You'll get exclusive experiences like private sessions at copper art studios and personal tours through the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Our travelers especially value being able to set their own pace and focus on what interests them most.
Top Eastern Canada travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our 3-day tours give you a proper taste of Eastern Canada's highlights. The Algonquin trips put you right in the wilderness - you'll paddle across clear lakes, catch glimpses of moose in the early morning and return to comfortable log cabins where good food awaits after a full day outside. Our guests often mention how much they learn from the guides who really understand the local wildlife and plant life. Over in Quebec, the tours mix old-world streets with countryside visits; you'll walk through historic quarters, discover local landmarks and head out to places like Ile d'Orléans where you can sample locally-made chocolate. The Toronto-Niagara options combine city life with natural sights, from downtown explorations to the roaring falls and also the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake.

A week in Eastern Canada lets you really get to know the region. The Maritime route takes you through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, showing you the world's highest tides at Fundy Bay, traditional covered bridges and PEI's excellent lobster dinners. Up in Newfoundland, our Viking Trail tours take you to the ancient Norse site at L'Anse aux Meadows, prime whale watching spots near St. Anthony and the remarkable rock formations in Gros Morne National Park. The Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec City route gives you Canada's urban culture at its best - from Parliament tours to Old Montreal's historic districts and also Quebec City's fortress walls.

Ten days in the Maritimes means you can truly settle into Atlantic Canada's pace. These fuller tours start in Halifax and wind through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, giving each province its due. You'll walk between the famous Hopewell Rocks at low tide, drive across the 13-kilometer Confederation Bridge to PEI, visit the real Green Gables house and travel the twisting Cabot Trail on Cape Breton. What makes these longer trips work so well is staying multiple nights in places like Saint John and also Baddeck - you get to know each area properly instead of just passing through.

Couples really enjoy our Maritimes and Cape Breton routes, where the relaxed pace lets you take in the coastal scenery and historic port towns. You'll discover UNESCO-protected Lunenburg together, enjoy quiet dinners at PEI's waterfront restaurants and drive the winding Cabot Trail. Our Newfoundland trips give couples plenty of peaceful moments - watching massive icebergs float by, exploring Gros Morne's unique landscapes and finding puffin colonies at Elliston. The Quebec tours attract couples with their European charm, historic streets perfect for evening walks and countryside trips to local wineries and also villages.
For young adults wanting active experiences, Eastern Canada delivers solid options. Our Toronto-Niagara packages combine cool neighborhood exploration with outdoor experiences like the Hornblower cruise and walks behind the thundering falls. Montreal-Quebec trips mix food discoveries, historic district walks and zipline rides across Montmorency Falls. The three-day Eastern Canada Express fits well for quick trips, covering Parliament Hill visits, harbor rides and also Thousand Islands boat tours.
Our carefully paced Maritime tours consistently rank high with senior travelers. The trips use comfortable coaches, well-placed hotels and guides who know their stuff and take good care of everyone. The Quebec-focused routes work especially well, mixing relaxed exploration of Old Quebec with scenic countryside drives. Newfoundland tours get great feedback from seniors who appreciate our small group size of 9, flexible timing and chances to see wildlife without difficult hikes. The Maritime routes include plenty of historic lighthouses, UNESCO sites and cultural stops, while letting travelers adjust activity levels to their comfort.
Our Eastern Canada family tours focus on engaging activities and schedules that work with kids' energy levels. The 7-day Maritime routes blend learning with real fun - kids love watching the massive tides at Hopewell Rocks and getting up close to whales on boat trips. The Toronto-Niagara option gets great feedback from families who enjoy the Hornblower cruise, exploring Casa Loma's hidden passages and sampling local foods at busy markets. In Quebec, families connect with French culture through authentic sugar shack visits, walks through historic streets and stops at the towering Montmorency Falls. The Thousand Islands tours add something special too, mixing castle-spotting boat rides with optional helicopter flights that really capture kids' imagination.
