Amanda PhillipsVisiting a new country is sometimes scary, so a helping hand is appreciated. That’s where Escorted Touring comes in. Especially in a country like Canada, which is so diverse and just begs visitors to explore it properly. It’s not the sort of place where you visit one place for two weeks.
Below we’ve rounded up four amazing itineraries that are perfect for discovering the best Canada (and – in some cases – the USA) has to offer. Let us know which one is your favourite.
1. Heart of the Canadian Rockies
You’ll have a lot of ground to cover when you visit the Canadian Rockies (the mountain range stretches across Alberta and British Columbia for 180,000 km²) so it’s a good idea to know where you’re going. With this itinerary, you’ll start off in the metropolitan Calgary, where you’ll be treated to a city tour. Then you’ll move your way through the Rocky Mountains day-by-day with stops in Banff, Jasper, and Kamloops. Afterwards, you’ll also be treated to four days on the west coast while you flirt between Vancouver and Victoria.
2. New York, Niagara Falls and Washington D.C.
You can spend months exploring Canada and everything it has to offer, but it also feels like a waste to visit and not stop-by its equally fascinating neighbour. With this itinerary you’ll get to explore three iconic sights within one trip, including an overnight stay in Philadelphia.
3. Canadian Rockies
If the first Canadian Rockies itinerary didn’t tick all the boxes, maybe this lengthier adventure will. This time you’ll start in Vancouver, where you’ll stay for two nights and be treated to a day-long city tour. Then you’ll start your journey into the Rocky Mountains, with overnight stays in Kelowna, Banff, Jasper, Sun Peaks, and Whistler. Afterwards, you’ll then return to the west coast for two nights in Victoria, before your flight to the UK from Vancouver.
4. Eastern U.S. & Canada
As we said, it’s well worth stopping by the USA while you’re in Canada. This itinerary offers you a 19-day round trip that starts in the iconic New York City, before you enjoy a one night stay in Boston crossing the border where you’ll visit Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. You’ll then stop by the Niagara Falls, where you’ll cross the border again and, this time, enjoy overnight stays in Lancaster, Washington DC and Philadelphia.
