Canada tours
From the craggy shores of Newfoundland in the east to Victoria’s manicured gardens in the west, Canada’s abundant natural beauty stretches far. Between these borders, the country unfurls the French charm of Montreal, the majesty of Ontario’s Niagara Falls, and the unspoiled wilderness of Banff National Park.

What to know before you go
POPULATION
It may be the second-largest country in the world by land area, but Canada’s population clocks in at a more modest 40 million residents. Among them are Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Metis, and Inuit, with deep cultural and historical ties to the land.
CAPITAL
Small-but-mighty Ottawa became the Canadian capital in 1857, chosen as a strategic compromise between English-speaking Upper Canada and French-speaking Lower Canada. Today, the city is officially bilingual, and you’ll see and hear both English and French everywhere you go.
CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
Hockey, maple syrup, and a nonchalance about winter—Canadians embrace their unique national quirks. Expect friendliness and inclusivity—and be sure to give all dressed potato chips a try!
WHAT TO GO FOR
Visitors flock to Canada for its larger-than-life natural spectacles (hello, Banff and Niagara Falls), but the country’s sophisticated cities and ripped-from-a-postcard towns are just as stunning.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Whale-watch in Newfoundland’s icy North Atlantic waters, tuck into a gooey poutine on a food tour of Old Montreal, and walk on a glacier in Alberta. Insider tip: Book your trip for early fall to see the foliage turn from green to gold and red.
The Canadian Rockies by rail and trail
Sky-piercing peaks, turquoise glaciers, and mirror-like lakes invite you to surrender to the call of the wild. See the panorama of the Canadian Rockies from a gently swaying railcar or on foot with a gently paced walking tour.
