4 Discover Eastern USA & Canada Historic cities, rich culture and beautiful landscapes Top left: Quebec City Bottom left: Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. Right: Cobblestone Streets of Montreal Let us take you to some of the lesser known but most historically significant and fascinating regions in the USA. The East is the nation s birthplace, a place where wars were fought and won, civil wars and civil rights helped shape the landscape, and music was the soothing soul that brought strength and inspiration to the people. Eastern USA will surprise you, and for most will uncover a lot more than expected. In exciting New York, marvel at the towering skyscrapers, see the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Ground Zero and Times Square by day and take in a show on Broadway by night. Each place brings its own captivating stories which are told through the eyes of expert locals.

5 Eastern Canada is defined by depth, richness and diversity. Tradition sits comfortably next to modernity, cities blend seamlessly with nature and European cultures are intertwined with urban North American chic. An enticing land, Eastern Canada is vastly different to Western Canada and the Rockies, and a visit here completes the Canadian story. Visit Toronto, a cosmopolitan city with a sprawling cityscape. Housing such sights as the signature CN Tower that punctuates and defines the skyline, Toronto promises an exciting visit. The European influence will be immediately obvious in the French Canadian cities of Quebec City and Montreal. From the architecture to the language and from the culture to the cuisine, this exquisite region will have you captivated. Most notable is the World Heritage town of Quebec City, containing an old walled city complete with castles, ramparts and cobblestone streets. Be taken to another world as you stroll through the quaint streets filled with stunning colonial architecture. In contrast, Montreal offers a perfect mix of modern and traditional with Gothic churches like Notre Dame Basilica at home next to modern skyscrapers. Canada s capital Ottawa is quintessentially Canadian with a perfect blend of traditional chateaus and mansions overlooking beautiful parks, gardens and canals lined with stately buildings of parliament. Ottawa is a city of contrasts that is a delight to explore. In addition, there are outstanding natural wonders. Of unbeatable beauty is the world famous Niagara Falls where we get up close on an incredible cruise. Eastern Canada is also famous for a magnificent autumn display known as the Fall Colours. An explosion of colour bursts across the land and the vibrancy of the countryside at this time of year is not to be missed.
