Canada Tour: Niagara Falls to Kingston to Ottawa to Montreal to Quebec City to Toronto

A lot of things have happened to me after coming here to Canada. It's an unforgettable learning experience studying and working at the same time. I wasn't able to travel that much which made me quite lonely for a while. There are a lot of things I've planned this year that didn't go according to my way yet it has opened a new chapter in my life. This new chapter means a call for a celebration, which meant we’re going for a trip to one of the most visited places in Canada.

We planned this trip with my boyfriend, at that time, to be as relaxing as possible. This was our second trip together and so far so good. I'll get back to that topic in another post next time. Our itinerary seemed packed with the number of places we've been to but it's actually an easy travel trip for two people.

This was the most exciting thing we did as a couple. I love the adrenaline rush it gives me, plus knowing that he's on the other side of the obstacle made it more interesting too. And when I'm ahead of him I had to show some skills, of course, I don't go down without a fight. The competitive side of me always resurfaced when I'm having fun outdoors. Honestly, I was scared but having my partner along with me made me feel safe. This by far is one highlight of our Canada trip together.

Aug 30-Sept 1 Wed-Fri Day 4-6: 3-days TOUR

Pick-up venue: Dragon City Mall

Tour: Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City

We booked ahead of time for the travel tour. I was excited to be on the road again. It isn't raw traveling like how I want it to be but having everything planned accordingly was nice too. I got used to doing everything on my own that I forgot travel tours existed to make things easier. The first stop was the town of Kingston. We had a glimpse of the Harbourfront and had some Thai food around the area. I love the old town feels of this place; it brings me back to those old black and white movies I've seen on TV. Ottawa was our second stop. The parliament house looked incredible when we visited on that very sunny day. A modern city with beautiful architectural designs, no wonder it's the capital city of Canada.

We took a lot of pictures for the three cities we've been to but for Quebec City, we did more than that. We walked around for hours, had some snacks, and took all in the beauty of the old city. I had a blast here. The old rustic walls, brick houses, romantic music around the corner, the smell of freshly baked goods, people laughing in the corner, and having someone special made the whole experience memorable. Old Quebec City is a must-see as it holds a nostalgic feeling of coming home to your parent’s house, visiting your grandparents for holidays, and those childhood days.

Our boat cruise at Thousand Islands in Kingston, Quebec City was an amazing experience too, another highlight of our trip. The scenic tour showed old lighthouses, a castle, and island mansions situated around the area.

I had a blast in Canada's Wonderland, rode the world's largest and highest roller coaster. The ride was called Leviathan a 3 minutes ride of heart-pumping up's and down's, jaw-dropping twisting here and mixed it up with high dropdowns in seconds. It's my second time actually the first time I stayed in the front seat zone, which just made everything such an amazing experience. I thought to myself I might as well get the full-throttle of adrenaline rush experience. Dare yourself!

We tried the entire daring ride; don't settle for the cute ones ahahaa. At the end of the night, we watched the fireworks with our friends. It was a holiday so they had a special fireworks display. We had a two-day pass so we went back the next day and check out the circus and the live shows they had on scheduled. 

Sept 5 Tues Day 9

Address: 1873 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6R 2Z3, Canada

How to get there: From Keele Subway Station, cross the road from Bloor Street. Or Alight from High Park Station, it's just outside of the train station.

It was our last day in Toronto. We wanted to make use of the time left so we went to High Park. We alighted at Keele station but I prefer the High Park Station as there's a map of park trails in that side. It's a lovely place to walk around and just be away from the city. A very short walk as it started raining before we can even get farther from the park. Good thing there's an all you can eat Japanese Lunch buffet nearby the station however we didn't get there on time for the lunch buffet. Weather and time were just not our sides on that very day, however, the Japanese bento meal we had was delicious (18 cad). 

The hardest part was saying goodbye or more like see you later. Whatever that is it was the gruesome part of our 10 days trip, being at the airport. 

7pm flight

How to get there: Toronto Pearson International Airport

Take bus from Kipling Subway Station to Pearson Airport 

Have fun and be safe ^__^

Itinerary Reminders:

1. Flight Details

Make sure to write down your booking reference number, be at the airport two hours before your flight, and allocate time for your travel to the airport.

2. Accommodation Details

Write down your hotel/motel/resort/BnB booking number. Contact your place to inform them around when you'll be arriving — it really does help.  Also, ask if your accommodation has any discounted activities.  You'd be surprised!

3a. Transportation

List possible times your bus/train/boat arrives and leaves so you don't miss an activity.  Always give yourself an extra 30-45 minutes in case you get lost, get stuck in traffic, or are looking for parking.  Better early than late.  Of utmost importance: check for the last trip and fares!  So you still have time and money to get back.

3b. Car Rentals

Take note of your pick-up address and time allotted.  Our last car rental told us to bring the car back by a certain time with a certain amount of gas.  Allot money for fuel and parking.

4. Budgeting

Set aside a minimum and maximum spending amount for meals, transportation, entrance fees, activities, souvenirs, and emergencies.  3 meals a day + snacks add up quickly, so keep track!  As well as tips for restaurants and activities.

5. Activities

Call to confirm your booking(s) a day or so beforehand.  Set alarms and/or calendar reminders for things you plan to do (i.e- bungee-jumping, river-rafting, or even city/food tours).

Do you want more adventure?

If you still have one more day to spare why not go on a Food trip tour in Toronto.

Where am I going next?
My next adventure is to Los Angeles, California and I have here a survival guide on how to go around the city.
