Itinerary
Day 1-2: Toronto
Toronto is scenically set on the shores of Lake Ontario. The iconic CN Tower defines the skyline here (admission to which is included with this offer), whilst below, plenty of green spaces complement the peppering of sparkling skyscrapers. The city itself is a haven for food and drink enthusiasts, thanks to its bevy of breweries and lively fusion food scene. Culture buffs might like to visit the Royal Ontario Museum (which makes for an impressive architectural sight too) and the stately Casa Loma, whilst offshore, Toronto's islands are home to both beaches and further leisure opportunities. Don’t know where to start with your sightseeing? Not to worry! This offer also includes a one-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus tour of the city, so you can count on seeing all its best bits in one go.
Day 3: Niagara Falls
Enjoy a full-day sightseeing excursion to Niagara Falls. The route takes you through the lush fruit growing district and wine region of the Niagara Peninsula, before you have the chance to marvel at the spectacle of the famous Niagara Falls. Step aboard the Niagara City Cruises by Hornblower Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour for a fantastic boat trip to the foot of the Horseshoe Falls.
