DIY Itineraries

Pick a destination, pick dates, pick your attractions. Swap a museum for a market, add a day, add a city. Every itinerary we publish is a starting point, not a package.

Free recruitment tool

A trip page, flyers, a parent-meeting deck and online sign-ups — free from the day you request a proposal. Parents register and pay online; you watch the numbers climb.

Book only when you have enough students

Hold your dates for 30 days at tiered pricing. Commit only once the students are counted. Short of numbers? Reprice or cancel inside the proposal window.

Chelsea Toronto or Holiday Inn Express Lombard · Queen Elizabeth or Best Western Ville Marie, Montréal · Château Frontenac or the Clarendon, Québec City.

A few minutes to commute. Five to fifteen minutes from the core by coach, often on a metro line. The balance most of our groups choose.
Hôtel Château Laurier or Hôtel Le Concorde, Québec City · Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre · Sainte-Foy.
Suburban
Best value, more coach time. Airport and highway properties with free parking and large lobbies. Best value on longer multi-city trips.
