A Soulful Autumn Escape from Niagara Falls to Montréal
Fall’s Finest Moments, Shared in Sisterhood
Autumn is calling — and there’s no better way to answer than with our Eastern Canadian Fall Foliage tour, a stunning 10-day journey timed to catch the first breathtaking waves of Canada’s most colorful season. From the misty roar of Niagara Falls to the cobbled charm of Québec City, the serene beauty of the Thousand Islands to the vibrant streets of Montréal, this adventure blends natural wonder, French-Canadian elegance, and unforgettable moments of connection, all surrounded by the glowing reds, golds, and oranges of early fall.
We’ll cruise rivers, stroll historic neighborhoods, watch maple leaves swirl beneath our feet, and raise a glass together in vineyards and sugar shacks. Along the way, you’ll travel with a ready-made Sisterhood of like-minded women, sharing laughs, stories, and meaningful experiences you’ll never forget. This journey is more than just scenic — it’s soulful. Think hands-on cultural encounters, culinary indulgence, and moments of awe against the backdrop of Canada’s most beautiful season.

Cancellation & Refunds
Activity Level:
Moderate
Activity Level: 3 Moderate
This tour is best suited for travelers who are comfortable with full sightseeing days, extended periods on a motorcoach, and walking on uneven terrain. While the pace is well-managed with scheduled breaks and free time built in, the overall experience requires good stamina and mobility due to long distances covered and the physical nature of historic city exploration.
Walking & Standing
Walking is a regular part of this journey, particularly in historic areas such as Québec City and Old Montréal. Guests should be comfortable walking up to 3–4 miles on certain days, often over cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, and moderate hills. Walking tours may last several hours with periodic stops, but prolonged standing and steady walking without assistance are required.
Transportation & Transfers
This itinerary covers approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) over the course of the tour. Several days involve long coach transfers, including Toronto to Ottawa, Ottawa to Québec City, and Québec City to Montréal, each with up to 4–5 hours of driving time intermittently throughout the day. Daily touring typically departs around 8:30 a.m. and returns by 5:30 p.m. or later. While the motorcoach is comfortable and includes planned rest stops, travelers should be prepared for full days that combine driving, sightseeing, and walking.
Pacing & Daily Schedule
Due to the geographic scope of the tour, most days are full and structured, balancing guided sightseeing with independent time in the evenings or afternoons when possible. Early departures are common, and some days may feel long due to travel distances. This tour is ideal for travelers who enjoy immersive exploration, are comfortable maintaining a steady pace, and appreciate seeing a wide variety of destinations in one well-orchestrated journey.
