3-Day Eastern Canada Highlights Tour • Free Quebec Hotel Upgrade | Montreal, Quebec City and Thousand Islands

This tour is the best value for a 3-day eastern Canada trip—includes 2 nights’ accommodation, round-trip bus, bilingual guide, 13% HST, and a FREE 7-day eSIM (10.5GB!)—unbeatable price for budget travelers. The optional activities are flexible, no mandatory fees (the 98% positive review point is real!), you can choose only the ones you like: I took the Thousand Islands cruise (summer) and Mont Tremblant cable car, the total extra cost is reasonable, and the guide books the tickets for you to avoid queuing. The post-booking service is excellent: I emailed the platform 2 times for hotel upgrade questions, and they replied within 6 hours with clear answers. The auto-confirm rule (book 10 days in advance for guaranteed seat) is great for last-minute planners.
