Your city sightseeing tour
highlights the city’s delightful neighborhoods. Toronto as you will
quickly come to realize is a city where people live and play as well as
work. Lake frontage, friendly people, wonderful food and great shopping
are a few of the reasons people return again and again. You can hop on
at our over 20 stops, located throughout Toronto. Stops included are
the CN Tower, Skydome, Casa Loma, University of Toronto, Toronto's

Day 3 – Toronto – Niagara falls by night including Maid of the Mist and
buffet dinner
This morning do some shopping
or continue to explore Toronto with your hop on hop off city
sightseeing tour. The plans that we have made for your visit to Niagara
Falls are just the best! This afternoon board a first class motor coach
for a drive through the orchard –laden countryside of the Niagara
Peninsula. The lush green rolling hills take you through historic
Niagara–on-the Lake; a picturesque community that prides itself on
stylish Victorian houses and picture perfect lawns. No matter how many
times you visit Niagara Falls, ones’ sense of awe never fades. Thus we
wanted you to see the Falls in daylight, up close and somewhat wet on
the Maid of the Mist as well as the lofty heights of a penthouse dining
room and at night, in dramatic color, as you watch the multicolored
illumination show. Your tour includes a ride aboard the Maid of the
Mist to the base of Horseshoe Falls; the perfect way to experience the
power of these Falls. Enjoy a buffet dinner with breathtaking views
from the Penthouse Dining Room. Time allows you to visit the flower
filled grounds while waiting for the illumination show to get started.
Your coach will return to the Fairmont Royal York about 11PM. Please
note, when planning your dates; Fridays starting in mid May have the
added bonus of a free fireworks display over the falls.

Day 4 - Toronto to Kingston 1000 Islands cruise
The Fairmont Royal York is
conveniently located across from the rail station. VIA Rail provides

historic sights of Kingston. Bilingual commentary describes the history
and folklore as you pass by spectacular scenery and island homes.
