Eastern Canada by Rail

Take a rail journey through Eastern Canada and uncover the cultural highlights, historic landmarks, French influence and scenic beauty of the region over 10 days. Start your adventure in Toronto, taking a daytrip to Niagara Falls and raising a glass of wine to your fellow travellers. Stay in the small town of Gananoque and take a boat ride around the Thousand Islands, then see Ottawa on an e-bike through the city and parklands. Explore Quebec City’s bohemian atmosphere, take a historic funicular ride and taste some local snacks before a daytrip to Ile d’Orleans – home to the gorgeous national park. Get your fill of poutine, then end your adventure in Montreal. The primary means of transportation on this trip is by train. Train travel is a fast way to traverse long distances, allowing you to avoid traffic jams and arrive right in the city centre. Trains are comfortable and often decked out with air-conditioning, toilets, a snack bar (or vending machine) and power points. You'll have to carry your own luggage on and off the train, as well as some short distances to the hotel (no longer than 30 minutes), so make sure it doesn’t exceed our weight and size recommendations. You can find details in the 'What to Take' section of the Essential Trip Information.
