Ottawa in the Fall

Day 1

We’ll set off from home and journey toward our nation’s capital, Ottawa, where grand architecture and riverside views welcome us in style. Upon arrival, we’ll check into the elegant Lord Elgin Hotel, a historic gem right in the heart of the city. After settling in, the evening unfolds with a delicious included dinner at the hotel, giving you a chance to unwind, connect with fellow travelers, and ease into the adventure ahead.

Day 2

After breakfast, we’ll set off on a guided adventure through Ottawa, soaking in the sights and stories of Canada’s capital. From there, we’ll march into history with a guided visit to the Canadian War Museum in the morning, then travel even further back in time with an afternoon tour of the Canadian Museum of History.

In between museum explorations, you’ll have some free time to wander the lively ByWard Market, where you can grab lunch, browse, and enjoy the buzz of the city at your own pace.

We’ll wrap up the day with a well-earned dinner at Tucker's Marketplace, a perfect spot to relax, refuel, and share stories from the day’s adventures.

Day 3

After breakfast, we’ll roll out toward the charming province of Quebec, where the landscape begins to feel like a storybook with a French accent. Our first stop is the sprawling wilderness of Parc Omega, a 1,500-acre safari-style park where deer, elk, bison, and other wildlife casually wander as if they own the place. Enjoy a guided tour as you glide through this living nature documentary.

Next, we trade rustic for refined at the iconic Fairmont Le Château Montebello. Here, a delicious included lunch awaits inside the world’s largest log cabin, followed by time to explore the grounds, breathe in the riverside air, or simply pretend you’ve stumbled into a luxury postcard.

Later, we’ll return to the hotel to freshen up and recharge. The evening is yours to roam, relax, and choose your own culinary adventure, with dinner on your own.

Day 4

After breakfast, we’ll check out and begin our journey home - bags packed, cameras full, and memories happily tagging along for the ride. Along the way, you might find yourself replaying favorite moments: a close-up with wildlife, a stroll through bustling markets, or that perfect bite from a memorable meal.

As the road unwinds beneath us, sit back, relax, and enjoy the final chapter of our adventure together.
