14 daysCanada, United States
Across 14 days, this guided tour of Canada and the U.S. takes you from leafy city parks to cascading waterfalls, from brick-laid trails to market counters alive with flavor. In Toronto, you pass through Queen’s Park, where green pathways, stately stone and the rush of downtown sit side by side. At Niagara Falls, spray touches your skin and the roar of falling water fills the air. In Montréal, the cool hush of Notre-Dame Basilica surrounds you beneath Gothic Revival arches, colored glass and carved wood. In Boston, you follow part of the Freedom Trail with a Local Specialist, tracing brick pavements past places tied to revolution and the house where the Boston Tea Party was planned in 1773. In Philadelphia, you pause at the Liberty Bell, its famous crack marking one of America’s most enduring symbols of independence. New York City ends with the warmth of a neighborhood public market, where vendors call from their stalls and you taste local specialties passed across the counter.
