Unlike classic tours, a custom organized trip allows you to explore Canada according to your passions and at your own pace.
Our Travel Planners, local experts on Canadian territory, design your tour in Canada taking into account your specific interests. Dreaming of watching whales in the Saguenay fjord? Admiring the vibrant colors of Indian summer? Experiencing a magical winter in Quebec with a dog sledding initiation? Each detail of your trip is thought to create an authentic and memorable experience.
The advantage of a custom tour in Canada lies in this total flexibility. You can choose to prioritize big cities like Montreal and Toronto, or prefer a total immersion in the national parks of the Canadian Rockies. Your itinerary adapits to the desired duration, whether it's a week-long getaway or a three-week thorough exploration.
This customization also extends to the type of accommodation and activities. Some travelers appreciate the comfort of downtown hotels, while others seek the authenticity of lodges in nature.

What Types of Tours in Canada to Create According to Your Desires?
Canada offers such a rich array of experiences that it becomes essential to define the type of tour that matches your aspirations. Our Travel Planners accompany you in this reflection to create the perfect trip.
Eastern Canada: Between Francophone Culture and Preserved Nature
Tours in eastern Canada attract with their cultural diversity and breathtaking landscapes. Your trip may start in Toronto, a dynamic metropolis of Ontario, before heading to the majestic Niagara Falls. The Thousand Islands archipelago offers a soothing natural stop, while Ottawa, the federal capital, reveals the country's history.
Quebec often forms the heart of these tours. Montreal, with its European charm and North American vitality, beautifully contrasts with the city of Quebec and its UNESCO heritage. The Quebec region allows to explore Charlevoix, the Saguenay fjord, and Tadoussac, renowned for whale watching. These Eastern tours are perfectly suited for families as well as couples in search of cultural discoveries.
Western Canada: Immersion in the Rockies and Vast Spaces
Western Canada promises unforgettable adventures in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Vancouver, a natural gateway, combines urbanity and nature with its mountainous backdrop. The national parks of Banff and Jasper offer grandiose landscapes, turquoise lakes, and exceptional wildlife.
These Western tours are particularly suitable for nature and outdoor activities enthusiasts. Hiking, wildlife watching, navigating alpine lakes... each day reveals new wonders. Calgary is often the starting or ending point of these Rocky Mountain explorations.
Thematic Tours: Winter, Gastronomy, and Unique Experiences
Canada is wonderfully suited for thematic tours. A magical winter tour in Quebec transforms the landscape into a white wonderland, with activities such as snowmobiling, dog sledding, or discovering ice festivals. The essence of Quebec in winter reveals an authentic side of the country, away from summer crowds.
Gastronomic tours explore Canadian flavors, from sugar shacks in Quebec to Vancouver's markets. Self-drive tours offer total freedom, ideal for independent travelers wishing to explore at their own pace. Whether you opt for a classic Quebec self-drive tour or a discovery by lake in the vast spaces, each formula meets specific expectations.
Must-Sees on a Tour in Canada
Some destinations naturally stand out in most tours of Canada, as their beauty and cultural importance leave a lasting impression. Our Travel Planners ensure to integrate these wonders while preserving the originality of your personalized itinerary.
The Niagara Falls are among the most spectacular sites in the world. Located at the border between Canada and the United States, these impressive waterfalls pour over 6 million liters of water per minute. The experience can be enjoyed from the viewing platforms, but also aboard the famous Maid of the Mist boat that brings you close to this natural wonder.
Montreal and Quebec embody the Francophone soul of Canada. Montreal captivates with its unique mix of European architecture and North American energy. Old Montreal, with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings, contrasts with modern areas like the Plateau Mont-Royal. Quebec, the only fortified city in North America, charms with its preserved heritage. The Château Frontenac majestically overlooks the Saint Lawrence River, offering exceptional panoramas.
The Canadian Rockies are one of the most spectacular mountain ranges on the planet. Banff National Park, established in 1885, protects 6,641 square kilometers of wild nature. Lake Louise, with its stunning blue-green waters, reflects the snowy peaks in a postcard-like setting. Further north, Jasper Park offers even wilder spaces, where watching wildlife - bears, moose, caribou - provides magical moments.
The Saguenay fjord, the only navigable fjord south of the 60th parallel, stretches for 105 kilometers from Tadoussac. This geological wonder, carved by glaciers, hosts an exceptional population of whales. Belugas, blue whales, and humpback whales frequent these krill-rich waters, offering unforgettable spectacles to visitors.
