What do you think? I’m not sure if Ottawa deserves that many days. If not, should I add them to Toronto or take the opportunity to shorten the drive between Niagara Falls and Ottawa? I was thinking of stopping in Peterborough. Thanks

Hi, Do you have the option to come earlier (like mid-October)? In my opinion, November is **the worst time** to visit: no leaves on the trees, lots of tourist sites closed, and nightfall around 5 PM....

Now, you might not have a choice with the dates. If that’s the case, see if you can book a multi-destination flight (France–Toronto / Montréal–France). That’ll save you a ton of time and spare you a bunch of kilometers!)

For the duration, in my humble opinion, you could shorten your time in Québec.

Happy planning!

Hello, thanks for your feedback. I didn’t think November would be the worst time to visit the region. Unfortunately, for now, it’s either that or February. But if arriving in mid-October allows me to enjoy the trip more, I’ll look into it. I don’t understand your multi-destination idea because the only long driving day is between Niagara Falls and Ottawa—wouldn’t arriving in Toronto just make that longer? Plus, if I book a multi-destination flight from my city, I’d have to stop in Montreal, and it also avoids one-way fees—unless there aren’t any between Toronto and Montreal?

Hi, Between November and February, definitely (but this is just my opinion ;-)) February would be the best time!. I imagine you don’t have much choice in the timing, but as I wrote, if you can move your trip earlier, it’ll be better (for info, the second Monday in October marks the ''end'' of the tourist season). After that date, many tourist sites are closed (and to check, but I think, for example, there are no more cruises in the Thousand Islands region after that date). A multi-destination trip would let you ''save'' time by leaving from Toronto to explore the area. That said, you’ll need to weigh the price difference in airfare against the drop-off fees for a car rental!

Bonjour, avez vous un site pour les croisières des milles iles. J'avais envisagé début février mais les températures font froid dans le dos😉

salut, ` Voici un site (parmi d'autres) : 1000 Islands Boat Tours and Castle Cruises - City Cruises Gananoque

C'est sûr que Février il fera plus froid que Novembre 😛
