Canada · FULL-DAY
The good full-day tours fill weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
A 13-hour day trip from Montreal to Quebec City and Montmorency Falls, with a guided Old Quebec walk and seasonal add-ons.
“It was a great tour to Quebec City, with local guide telling about the history. I'd suggest using some private group for communication, to center information and also people can help each other and exchange information”
Full-day whale watching from Québec City to the Saguenay Marine Park, by comfortable bus plus boat or Zodiac, with bilingual naturalist guides.
“Incredible experience! Totally recommend it! We got lucky and saw a lot of whales: belugas, minke whales, fin whales, and seals as a bonus ;) Totally, totally worth it! By the way, it’s cold as f—. The hot chocolate and tea on the boat helped a lot, but you better dress REALLY warm (you might need something not only warm but windproof with a hood). And if you think that 11 hours is too much, I didn’t even realize how quickly it was over. The road was really beautiful, so I enjoyed the whole journey.”
Full-day Quebec City tour from Montreal with Montmorency Falls, Old Quebec walking tour, and St. Lawrence River cruise. Guided day trip.
“Very rushed. Driver was late so we left 25 min late. Was unable to do many activities like walk all around the falls or take the cable car. Boat cruise the waiter took our order and after 45 min we tracked her down to find out they didn’t have what we ordered and she didn’t bother to tell us.”
Small-group day tour from Banff to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the Icefields Parkway, stopping for Bow and Peyto lakes.
“Great knowledgeable guide and driver. We could never have seen so much in a day trying to do it ourselves”
A 7-hour small-group Montreal tour with hotel pickup, Mile End and Old Montreal highlights, Jean-Talon Market bagel and maple tastings.
“Absolutely wonderful tour and the BEST guide in Jules. We only had one day in the city and could not have done anything that showed us all the sights, tastes, sounds, and knowledge better. My friends and I couldn't recommend it higher.”
Niagara-on-the-Lake small-group wine tour with tastings at 4 wineries, cheese and charcuterie, plus Old Town stroll and pickup.
“Zoran was a wonderful guide! The vineyard selections were thoughtfully chosen and it was everything went smoothly.”
Niagara-on-the-Lake guided wine and charcuterie tour with hotel pickup, three estate tastings, and Old Town free time.
“Mary was great! We enjoyed our tour and tastings of three wineries and would suggest if your a wine drinker and enjoy beautiful sights.”
Full-day Victoria and Butchart Gardens from Vancouver by ferry, with guided stops and free time in Victoria, plus 55-acre gardens.
“The tour was great! This was definitely worth the day trip from Vancouver with so many different things to do the Victoria. The Butchart Gardens was beautiful. Our tour guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure everyone had a great experience. Thank you!”
Full-day Vancouver to Whistler Sea-to-Sky trip with Stawamus Chief, seasonal waterfalls or icy canyons, gondola and Sky Pilot bridge, 3 hours free.
“Shannon falls, Squamish and Whistler were all well worth seeing. It was great seeing sea lions on the way back to Vancouver. It was also nice to go though Stanley park on the way out and into Vancouver. The guide was relaxed, friendly and helpful”
Small-group full-day tour from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and the Titanic cemetery, with scenic drives and guided commentary.
“This was a very relaxing, fun tour. We really loved Peggy's Cove, such a beautiful spot! Our tour guide, Arjun was friendly and very engaged with all the passengers and had lots of interesting facts along the tour. But he didn't talk too much, and we had a lot of time on our own to tour around. Great day!”
Full-day coach tour from Toronto to Niagara Falls with guided stops on Niagara Parkway, Floral Clock, hydro-power viewpoints, and optional Hornblower cruise.
“Erik was a great driver and guide, really knowledgeable and friendly. it's a long trip (~15 hours) but totally worth it for the amazing scenery. A must do!!”
Montmorency Falls and Quebec City in one day, plus seasonal ice hotel or cruise. Includes Old Quebec walking tour from Montreal.
“Quebec is great. Guide was ok. It was well organised. At first there is a tour and then we had around 4 hours free time which was great.”
Full-day Niagara Falls tour from Toronto with included stops, Hornblower and Behind the Falls options, plus Skylon Tower add-on.
“Overall this was a good trip; however, I paid double on Viator than what is being charged on Get Your Guide which seems suspect. Also, our guide got our tickets for Skylon and charged more than what the window price was, also very questionable. The winery stop was very disappointing, small tasting of something similar to Baileys and then just stood around for 20+ minutes. Our guide also used their phone while driving which was shocking. Definitely do not book on Viator because of the price disparity.”
Full-day Quebec City trip from Montreal with Montmorency Falls, Old Quebec sights, and a St. Lawrence cruise for $120, plus multilingual guiding.
“Very very beautiful! Very kind mr Willy e mr Zhang”
Grizzly bear viewing and possible whale sightings at Toba Inlet, led by a Klahoose First Nation guide with lunch and a 12-person cap.
“The tour is excellent. Our tour guides were very patient. And went the extra mile. So we could see grizzly bears and killer whales. Would definitely recommend this tour. And the lunch is good as well”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
