Toronto holidays
Toronto Located on the banks of Lake Ontario, Toronto is Canada’s most populous city. Attractions of the city include the CN Tower, home to the world’s highest observation deck; Fort York, established by the British in 1793 to defend the town of York (as Toronto was then known); and the Toronto Dominion Gallery of Inuit Art, offering an exceptional insight into Inuit culture. Beyond the city, we recommend pre-booking a day tour to Niagara Falls including a cruise, or a winery tour to the Niagara wine region to learn about and taste ice wine, the local speciality.

Top things to do in Toronto
Take a day trip to Niagara Falls
One of the natural wonders of the world, Niagara Falls can be reached in less than 2 hours from Toronto, and are arguably Canada's most recognisable sight. This thundering group of waterfalls lies between the borders of Canada and the US. Take a memorable helicopter flight over the falls, or enjoy an excursion with Hornblower Cruises to see the falls up close.
Visit the Art Gallery of Ontario
Located in Toronto's Chinatown, the Art Gallery of Ontario is home to over 68,000 works of art and is one of the largest galleries in North America. The collection includes one of the largest collections of Canadian art, which includes First Nations and Inuit artwork; masterpieces of European art; African and Oceanic art; contemporary art; and a collection of photographs which span the history of the medium.

"The whole organisation worked incredibly well and we had a most informative and enjoyable visit. Yoshie Matsumoto must be the most outstanding guide in Japan. She was absolutely superb and added a great deal to our enjoyment.
Mr. Kirkland"
"I very much enjoyed the talks by William Taylor and our guide Hamdi, who were both very knowledgeable. Istanbul is a buzzy place with great scenery, history and interesting people & visitors. To see the city and its surroundings placed in perspective was very insightful. I learned a lot, from Rev'd Taylor and Hamdi and also the other party members. I am looking forward to going back to Istanbul in the future.

"The trip to Machu Picchu was incredible. The time we had there gave us the opportunity to really get a feel for the place and take all the photos we wanted to.
Ms Raffaella Facchini"
"The visit to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandi made a deep impression on me. It was intensely crowded with devout Buddhists and I was in the middle of the crush when the doors of the casket opened, yet felt perfectly safe. I have a high regard for the gentle Sri Lankan people. I find tea plantations exceptionally beautiful, and am thrilled with the rich colours and patterns of the small fruit and spice stalls.
Ms Phyllis Babb"
"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a big thank you for organising the most spectacular holiday for us. We had such a fantastic holiday on Cocoa Island and loved every minute of it.
