Highlights
Best of Eastern Canadian Cities featuring Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Quebe

Toronto
With over 2.6 million people, Toronto is the most populous city in Canada. Originally called York until the War of 1812 and the Battle of York, Toronto today is the commercial capital of Canada and is home to the Stock Exchange. Architectural structures such as the CN Tower, the Frank Gehry-designed Art Gallery of Ontario and historic Distillery district help distinguish Toronto's skyline.

Niagara Falls
Straddling the international border of Canada and New York State are the three waterfalls known as Niagara Falls. The three waterfalls are named Bridal Veil, Horseshoe and American and have a vertical drop of over 165 feet. Providing hydro-electric power and majestic beauty, the Falls are best viewed from one of the many cruise boats operating on the river below.

Niagara-on-the-Lake
Get acquainted with the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario and the Niagara River. Explore its Heritage District which has a distinctly old-fashioned atmosphere. Perhaps visit an antique store or a cheese shop! See Fort George and Brock’s Monument, stunning parks and gardens, vineyards and wineries, boutiques, art galleries, the centuries-old courthouse, museums and theatres. This town, which was the original capital of Upper Canada from 1792 to 1797, has something for everyone. Meander its streets and uncover its charm in your own way.

Quebec City, QC
Touted as one of the most beautiful cities in North America, Quebec is the capital of the province of Quebec. It is also one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Once through the walls of the old city you are easily transported back in time to a grand era where beauty was always a factor in creating anything and everything. On foot, via carriage or automobile, every turn leaves an indelible impression.

Coach Tour of Quebec or Walking Tour of Quebec
While in Quebec you have the choice between two ways to tour this charming city. First, you can choose to join a local guide on an immersive walking tour. Be transported back in time as you explore the streets of Old Quebec City on foot; stroll through historic squares and by impressive architecture, hearing stories of days gone by. Or, for your second option, you can choose to hop aboard your coach for a panoramic tour and experience the beauty and history of both Old and New Quebec. See the stately Chateau Frontenac, the provincial Parliament, the St. Louis Arch, and the site of the original settlement of the city of Quebec.Coach Tour of QuebecActivity Level 1Panoramic coach tour of Quebec.Walking Tour of QuebecActivity Level 1: Travelers must be comfortable with walking on cobbled streets and sidewalks for approximately 1.5 miles. Tour will last a maximum of 2 hours.

Montmorency Falls
Take in Montmorency Falls, where a cable car whisks you up-close to a river as it plunges 272 feet off the Canadian Shield, approximately 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls.

Maple Sugar Shack
Learn about the sugary product that Canada is famous for: maple syrup. In the countryside of Quebec, learn about the longstanding tradition of collecting sap from maple trees. Taste the unique regional treat, maple taffy layered on snow.

Montréal
Located in the province of Quebec, Montréal is the largest city in the province and the second largest in Canada. Originally called Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. With the dominant language of French, tourists can enjoy a touch of France in North America. Designated a City of Design by UNESCO, there are 50 National Historic Sites in Montréal, one of which is the old quarter and the Notre Dame de Montreal Basilica.

Private Chauffeur Service

When you buy air with Collette, secure door-to-door chauffeur service to and from the airport, plus hotel transfers, and all internal transfers during your trip. This means a private sedan comes straight to your door, loads your bags, and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. It’s the perfect stress-free way to start and end your trip.

Expert Tour Managers

Each Collette tour is guided by a regionally-based expert. This means that from the moment you touch down until the moment you leave, you’ll be in the hands of a trusted Tour Manager with insider knowledge about the culture, language, and history of your destination — so you can get the most in-depth experience without any of the stress.

Guaranteed to Go

We have thousands of guaranteed departure dates across our 170+ tours. Book your tour with peace of mind, knowing that it will leave as planned and your departure date won’t change.

Sedan Service

Getting to and from the airport can be the most stressful and difficult part of any trip. Start and end your adventure in hassle-free luxury with our private sedan that comes straight to your door, loads your bags and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. Now that’s how to start and end a trip the right way.

Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility: It's a way of life

It’s at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We believe that travel should be a force for good and by uniting with our employees, partners and travelers, we can make a positive impact in our local and global communities.

Our Mission

Social Responsibility at Collette means working together to take care of the places we live, work and travel. We focus on four key areas – Community, People, Travel and Planet – taking a holistic approach by striving to do good in every area of our business.

Community

Our nonprofit, the Collette Foundation, supports worldwide communities in need through hunger and education initiatives. Each year, employees volunteer more than 4,500 hours of their time to efforts in their own communities and across the world.

Travel

We strive to create an experience our guests not only enjoy, but also feel good about. We work to sustain and preserve communities, cultures, and traditions through tourism, and positively impact the places we come to know as travelers.

People

We couldn’t deliver the amazing travel experiences that we do without our incredible team. We offer our employees a variety of tools to be happy, healthy, and successful including learning and growth opportunities.

Planet

Our world is filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders. That’s why we are actively making responsible decisions to reduce our carbon footprint and care for our planet, the place we all call home.

Multigenerational Travel

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.

No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.

Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?

Making Memories Together
Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. "Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!"

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.

Learning From Each Other
Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family members have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)

Exploring Your Ancestry
Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family's roots is powerful. There's no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.

Private Touring for Families
Whether you're booking a large family trip or the best family reunion ever, you can book a private tour with 10 or more travelers. Go on. Invite everyone and their mother.

Playing New Roles
We think of people in their day-to-day roles. Parent. Sibling. Child. When you travel on tour and responsibilities shift, you let loose and get to know each other as adventurers, too.

Collette Knows Family Travel
We have been family-owned and operated since we opened our doors in 1918. Our team loves traveling with family! We truly value the magic of exploring the world together.
