City Breaks In Toronto, Montréal, Calgary & Vancouver
Sometimes, a simple change of scene and a change of pace are all that’s needed for an enjoyable brief getaway. You’ll find both when you book one of the intriguing “City Breaks” offered by The Great Canadian Travel Company to four distinctly different Canadian cities.
Choose from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montréal as you take advantage of four-day programs to each of these cities, designed to be enjoyed separately or, if you wish, to be mixed and matched. Included are accommodations, full-day excursion, guided city tour and round trip airport transfers.
The Great Canadian Travel Company is a specialist in travel to the north, providing a “Window to the Top of the World.” For these not-so-outlandish “City Breaks,” the experienced and highly regarded travel company uses its expertise and Canadian connections to fashion four affordable getaways.

Your “City Break” will include a visit to Fort Calgary, with its history of the North West Mounted Police, the First Nations people and early European settlers. You’ll also experience a thrilling rid! e to the top of the ski jump that was used in the 1988 Winter Olympics and spend a full day exploring the edge of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the bustling world-class resort town of Banff, which packs into its downtown streets an amazing number of cutting-edge boutiques and restaurants. Three nights from CAN$565 per person based on double occupancy.
