Canada lends itself to different travel styles depending on your preferences and available time. Private tours allow you to create a tailor-made itinerary with an English-speaking guide, particularly appreciated in Quebec. Small group travels (maximum 10 people with Nomadays) create a friendly atmosphere to share emotions in the face of magnificent landscapes. Allow a minimum of 2 weeks to grasp the country's diversity, 3 weeks to explore several provinces in depth. Combined tours with the United States open up continental perspectives, particularly on the west coast.
