You can find our complete trip itinerary in the link above, but here are some of my favorite highlights.

At Niagara Falls, taking a cruise right to the base of the falls and seeing the water crashing down from that close really was an amazing experience. We also stayed in a hotel room overlooking the falls, and loved watching them light up at night.

The views from Toronto's CN Tower were cool, and the Parliament building in Ottawa was beautiful.

In the Thousand Islands region, we took a scenic boat cruise through hundreds of tiny islands. Some of them were so small that they had just one house on them, which was fascinating to see.

Montreal was another highlight. The city has a strong French influence and a lively atmosphere, and we loved wandering through the historic streets of Old Montreal and along the Old Port.

But the place that completely stole my heart was Quebec City. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac looks straight out of a fairy tale, and Old Quebec has some of the prettiest streets in the world.

Our stay at this small boutique hotel, Hotel Du Vieux Quebec, in Old Quebec made the visit even more special, with the warmest service and a perfect location for exploring the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec. I have never remembered a hotel stay more fondly than this one! I honestly can’t wait to go back again to Quebec City.
