15 DAYS FROM £1595
The Eastern seaboard was rightly named the New World by its English and French conquerors who were themselves conquered by its breathtaking beauty. A short acquaintance is enough to demonstrate to any traveller why they were so fierce to defend it from the influence of Europe. Which is not to suggest that the Canadians don't love their English Queen or the Bostonians their `English' reputation - while French Montreal sees Paris as its friendly rival for style and chic. Between that city's Gallic charm, the cosmic wonder of Niagara and the glorious natural harbour of Boston, lies countryside of enchantment, particularly that of New England. Add the vibrance and energy of New York, the charm of Philadelphia and the elegance of Washington and you have the perfect holiday.

DAY 1 LONDON · MONTREAL
We begin with Titan's VIP Home Departure ServiceTM to London Heathrow Airport and your scheduled Air Canada flight direct to Montreal. On arrival our coach transfers you to the Best Western Ville-Marie Hotel or Doubletree Montreal.
DAY 2
MONTREAL
Lovely from Spring to Autumn, Montreal suffers severe winters, and since its French Canadian population like to get about and eat out year round, they have constructed a system of underground walkways and complexes, connected to the underground railway system, that makes it extraordinarily easy, without overcoats or raincoats, in all weathers to visit shops, cinemas and restaurants. This makes the city very easy to explore, and after this morning's tour you will be free to absorb the unique atmosphere of the Old Town, take (superb) coffee in the French Quarter and perhaps visit the world famous botanical gardens with its water garden offering a dazzling display of aquatic plants and its "climatron" of 14 connecting greenhouses, in which flamingoes and other wading birds are to be seen amid the sub-tropical foliage. There is plenty of nightlife in fashionable Crescent Street and the restaurant choice rates among Canada's best.
DAY 3
MONTREAL · OTTAWA · TORONTO
We depart for Ottawa, one of the world's most striking capitals, where three rivers converge and the parliament buildings - not unreminiscent of our own Westminster, with the Peace Tower standing in for Big Ben - command a bluff overlooking the Ottawa River and green spaces backed by beautiful Gatineau Park. This afternoon we travel on to the old town of Kingston and then to Toronto and the Delta Chelsea Hotel, well located for exploring the city.
