History and Culture

Canada’s diverse First Nations communities share a deep connection to the land that has evolved over thousands of years, and each has a fascinating tale to tell in story and song. Extraordinary experiences and authentic tours await!

History and culture come alive with the passion of animated guides. The experience is best in small groups where you can ask questions and feel part of the action.

From Quebec City’s Old Quarter to the Viking settlements of Newfoundland, Canada has many bucketlist UNESCO World Heritage Sites to discover and explore.

Canada is unique in North America for being an officially bilingual country where English and French coexist. Plan a trip to Quebec, Ottawa or Labrador to experience our country's peaceful blend of French and English cultures and customs.

Thanks to its cultural and historical significance, and unique landscapes, Canada is honoured to have 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the country. Cruise the Rideau Canal, a series of historic locks that connects Ottawa to Lake Ontario.

The Canadian Pacific Railway across Canada was completed in 1885 when the last spike was driven into the ground in Craigellachie, B.C. Experience part of this history on a train trip, and stay overnight in some of the historic railway hotels (now operated by Fairmont), such as the Banff Springs Hotel and the Chateau Lake Louise.
