If you’ve ever wanted to explore Canada’s most iconic historic sites, feel the mist of Niagara Falls on your face, or stroll the cobblestone streets of Quebec City without wrestling with GPS or lining up at a hotel front desk, this one’s for you.
Pro Tours’ Historic Canada bus tour is the perfect way to soak up Eastern Canada’s charm, colour, and culture. It’s built for people who value comfort, connection, and not having to organize a single thing. (Because let’s be honest, you’ve spent enough years planning everyone else’s travel. Time to let someone else take the wheel, literally.)
This 20-day adventure leaves from Edmonton, with pick-up spots in Sherwood Park, Vegreville, Lloydminster, North Battleford, Saskatoon, and other communities across Alberta and Saskatchewan. You’ll experience Canada’s past and present in style—with unforgettable stops in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Niagara Falls, and more.
Why Take a Bus Tour of Eastern Canada?
Because you actually want to enjoy your trip, not spend it arguing with Google Maps or wondering if that “charming inn” is actually just someone’s basement.
This isn’t a race. It’s a perfectly paced adventure where you can soak in the sights without being herded like cattle or wiped out by travel logistics.
You get:

- Friendly guides and drivers who actually know what they’re talking about
- Luggage handling so you can skip the heavy lifting
- Incredible scenery from the prairies to the St. Lawrence
- Unique experiences like the 1000 Islands cruise and walking tours in historic cities
- Time to relax, explore, and actually enjoy your vacation
If you’re into history, jaw-dropping views, local eats, and a good laugh with a great group, you’re going to love this.
Departing from Edmonton, With Scenic Stops Along the Way
This adventure kicks off right here in Alberta, so there’s no need to haul yourself to some far-off airport just to start relaxing.
From Edmonton, we roll east through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, where even the drive is part of the fun. Think wide-open skies, golden fields, and plenty of time to actually look out the window (instead of at your GPS).
You’ll watch the prairie views drift by, swap stories with fellow travellers, and let someone else do the navigating and heavy lifting, literally.
Tour Highlights:
Niagara Falls
Bring a poncho or don’t. You’re climbing aboard the Hornblower cruise for a face-full of mist and one of the wildest natural wonders on the continent. It’s loud, it’s soaking wet, and it’s the kind of wake-up call that no amount of coffee can compete with.
Quebec City
It’s got cobblestones, castles, and croissants, and honestly, that’s just scratching the surface. This is where French flair meets North American charm, and every street looks like it came straight off a postcard. Bonus: no jet lag.
Montreal
Equal parts historic and hip. One minute you’re standing in front of a centuries-old cathedral, the next you’re biting into a bagel that might just ruin all other bagels for you. This city’s got edge, attitude, and espresso. Lots of espresso.
Ottawa
Yes, it’s the capital. No, it’s not boring. Between the stately architecture, riverside paths, and maybe catching a Mountie or two in uniform, you’ll get a solid dose of Canadiana with just enough “ooh, pretty” to fill your camera roll.
Kingston & the 1000 Islands
Cruise past castles that look like they belong in fairy tales, and maybe a few that scream “eccentric millionaire.” The 1000 Islands region is stunning, full stop. And Kingston? It’s old-school charm meets lakefront chill. You’re gonna like it here.
Toronto
Skyscrapers, streetcars, and the CN Tower just daring you to look down. Toronto brings the big-city buzz with a side of multicultural food heaven. It’s bold, busy, and totally photo-worthy, especially from 1,800 feet in the air.
Perfectly Paced and Full of Personality
Sure, it’s a popular pick for folks exploring bus tours for seniors, but let’s be real: this trip is for anyone who wants to see something amazing without the headache of planning every detail.
It’s designed for people who actually want to enjoy their vacation, not power walk through a checklist. With just the right mix of structure and free time, you’ll never be wondering, “What now?” but you’ll still have the space to explore at your own pace.
Expect delicious meals, great company, and moments that’ll stick with you long after you’re home. Think strolls through historic towns, river cruises, and maybe a scoop (or two) of famous COWS ice cream in Niagara, because what’s a Canadian vacation without a little sweet indulgence?
Whether you’re flying solo or bringing your favourite travel buddy, you’ll feel right at home with the group, and chances are, you’ll head home with a few new friends too.
