Tours in Canada

8 hours – 10 hoursfrom AUD $706

Private Cabot Trail Discovery Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran the Cabot Trail Discovery Tour, we spent a full day looping one of Canada's most celebrated coastal drives through Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Highlands. The 300-kilometre route winds through rugged mountain passes, past fishing villages that feel genuinely lived-in, and along dramatic rocky shorelines where the Atlantic crashes in properly. You're in an air-conditioned vehicle the whole time, stopping at lookouts and coastal spots to stretch legs and soak it in. It's the kind of drive where the scenery does the heavy lifting—no adrenaline required, just scenery that justifies the hype.

Vancouver Jetski Tour with Dinner on Bowen Island

🐠 Water Activities

Vancouver Jetski Tour with Dinner on Bowen Island

When Charlie from our BugBitten team took this Vancouver jetski tour, we fired up a Sea-Doo out of English Bay and carved across Howe Sound toward Bowen Island. The 3.5-hour run starts with a wildlife pit stop—seals hauled up at Pam Rocks, raptors wheeling overhead—then throttles on to dinner at a local spot, with time to nose around the island's shops before heading back out on the water. It's a hybrid of adrenaline and downtime, set against the North Shore mountains and working waterfront.

Epic Wine and Waterfall Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this tour, she got a proper look at Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake's wine country rolled into one afternoon. The five-and-a-half-hour drive loops you through vineyard-dotted countryside with photo stops, touches down at three local wineries for tastings (all included), and weaves in a fair bit of regional history—War of 1812, hydroelectric power, the falls themselves. It's a relaxed small-group setup, max six people, mostly suited to wine-curious travellers who don't mind a bit of driving to earn their tastings.

5h 30mfrom AUD $145

Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems

Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this walking tour, it hit differently than the usual Toronto sightseeing loop. Your guide steers you through neighbourhoods most visitors miss — the kind of streets where locals actually hang out — and lets you steer the whole thing based on what you're keen on: history, street art, food spots, whatever. You get three hours of walking at a reasonable pace, quirky stories woven through the actual geography, and a coffee or tea to keep you moving. It's the sort of tour that works equally well for first-timers who want the real Toronto and locals who reckon they've seen it all.

Hidden Cocktail Crawl in Chinatown

When Sarah from our team ran this Vancouver Chinatown crawl, we hit three bars across four hours — two proper hidden speakeasies and a sleek cocktail spot — each pouring a craft drink paired with Asian-inspired bites. Chinatown itself buzzes with foot traffic and neon signs, a mix of tourists, locals grabbing dinner, and folks bar-hopping on Friday nights. The guide threads together the neighbourhood's history (Chinese immigration, gentrification, food renaissance) while you're moving between venues, which keeps things lively rather than lecture-y. One stop features food from a Michelin-rated kitchen, so you're eating properly, not just nibbling.

4 hoursfrom AUD $259

Private Banff, Yoho, Jasper Tour: Your Route, Premium Vehicle

8 hours – 10 hoursfrom AUD $1543

Private Banff, Yoho, Jasper Tour: Your Route, Premium Vehicle

When Jake from our BugBitten team booked this private tour across Banff, Yoho, and Jasper, we got the full flexibility play—your route, your pace, your vehicle (think Cadillac Escalades or Mercedes Sprinter Vans). The guide steers you toward the show-stoppers: Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, plus the backstory on wildlife and local history. It's eight to ten hours of the Canadian Rockies on your terms, with hotel pickups from Banff, Canmore, or Lake Louise built in. Suits couples, families, or groups up to twelve.

Victoria Shore Excursion Pedicab Tour Up to 5 People

Victoria Shore Excursion Pedicab Tour Up to 5 People

When Alex from our team took this Victoria Shore pedicab tour, we pedalled through what feels like Canada's most relaxed waterfront with a genuinely local crew who actually know the spot. You're in a small electric tandem — max five people — gliding past the kind of views that make postcards jealous, with a guide who'll snap your camera shots and hand you bird seed to work the resident peacocks. It's two hours of the sort of low-key exploring that beats the typical tourist shuffle, with blankets thrown in if the weather turns moody.

2 hoursfrom AUD $803

Small Group Vancouver Tour with Capilano Suspension Bridge

Small Group Vancouver Tour with Capilano Suspension Bridge

When Ben from our team ran this Vancouver tour, we got a taste of what makes the city tick without the usual throng. Eight of us max meant we weren't jostling for photos at the Steam Clock in Gastown or getting lost in Stanley Park crowds. The five-hour loop hits the essentials — Coal Harbour, Chinatown's streets, Canada Place — before pivoting into nature at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. The real drawcard is crossing that legendary span and the Cliffwalk threading through the canopy above the Capilano River. It's half-day sightseeing that doesn't feel rushed, with snacks and water thrown in.

5 hoursfrom AUD $269

Banff to Jasper Columbia Icefield Glacier Walk Private VIP Tour

12 hours – 13 hoursfrom AUD $1194

Banff to Jasper Columbia Icefield Glacier Walk Private VIP Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this 12-13 hour private drive along the Icefields Parkway, she got a proper full-day tour of the Canadian Rockies between Banff and Jasper. Your own driver handles the steering while you sit back taking in turquoise lakes, glacier views, and the occasional wildlife sighting. The route threads through some seriously stunning country — Peyto Lake and Bow Lake are showstoppers — and you'll stop at the Columbia Icefields where optional add-ons like the Ice Explorer and Skywalk let you get up close to Athabasca Glacier. It's a one-group-at-a-time setup, so no sharing your ride or stops with random tourists.

Private Behind the Scenes Brewery tour by bus - 15 or more

🍜 Food & Cooking

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $1938

Private Behind the Scenes Brewery tour by bus - 15 or more

When Em from our BugBitten team booked a Brew Donkey private tour, we got a guided bus crawl through Canada's craft beer scene with a group of 15-plus mates. The vibe is unapologetically social—you're bouncing between local breweries, sampling as you go, with transport sorted and a local guide who knows the spots worth visiting. It's four to five hours of low-stress brewery hopping if you're keen on craft beer culture and don't mind a crowd.

🐠 Water Activities

JFarwell Sip & Sail aboard the Reverie

When Ben from our team stepped aboard the Reverie, a 50-foot catamaran moored in Halifax Harbour, the whole vibe screamed relaxed luxury rather than tourist tick-box. You get 90 minutes of sailing with a pre-selected local drink waiting as you board, and the captain tailors the route based on wind and your crew's mood. It's a private charter, so it works equally well for mates after a proper unwind, a family outing, or colleagues needing to rebuild some goodwill. The boat's built for comfort—no white-knuckle racing here.

1h 30mfrom AUD $1199

Full Day Family Bike Rental

When Em from our team grabbed bikes for a full day in Montreal, we found it's genuinely one of the best ways to explore the city under your own steam. You pedal through Old Montreal's cobbled streets, clip along the edges of downtown, duck into Chinatown, roll through The Village — all at whatever pace suits your crew. Eight hours gives you proper time to loop around without rushing, and pre-booking means you're not wasting energy hunting down a rental shop. Helmets, locks, and a map come with it; families get trailers and tag-alongs, so younger kids aren't left behind.

8 hoursfrom AUD $43

Private Experience Peggy's Cove and Coastal Sites Half-day Tour

Private Experience Peggy's Cove and Coastal Sites Half-day Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this half-day tour out of Halifax, she got a private spin around Nova Scotia's coastal highlights without the tour bus crush. You're driven in a comfortable van (up to six passengers) with a local guide who steers you toward Peggy's Cove — that iconic lighthouse perched on rocky Atlantic cliffs — and fills in the gaps with regional history along the way. The 5-hour loop leaves you time to breathe at each stop, duck past the midday coach crowds, and still make it back to the city at a reasonable hour. It's relaxed sightseeing, not a packed itinerary.

Historic District of Old Quebec walking tour (3h)

When Alex from our BugBitten team walked this tour through Old Quebec's Historic District, we got a proper crash course in nearly 500 years of Canadian history — from First Nations settlement through French colonisation, British rule, and into today. The guide tailored the pace and depth to suit us, mixing rigorous historical detail with quirky local anecdotes. It's a compact three-hour loop through UNESCO-listed streets that feels lived-in rather than museumified, and the free access to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity rounds out the storytelling nicely. Expect some elevation changes and cobblestones, but the vibe is walkable for most.

3 hoursfrom AUD $405

Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls, Lake Louise with Banff Explorer

8 hours – 10 hoursfrom AUD $642

Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls, Lake Louise with Banff Explorer

When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this tour out of Banff, she got a proper look at two of Canada's best parks in one day. The Banff Explorer loops you through turquoise Emerald Lake, past the dramatic Takakkaw Falls in Yoho, and into Lake Louise—all from a private vehicle with your entrance fees sorted. It's eight to ten hours of driving and walking through glacial scenery, with the kind of high-altitude vistas that make the long haul worthwhile. You'll see why people plan holidays around these lakes alone.

20 Minute Scenic Helicopter Private Tour

🏔 Adventure & Sports

20 Minute Scenic Helicopter Private Tour

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this 20-minute helicopter flight near Collingwood, she wasn't sure what to expect from such a short spin. Turns out, the operators claim to be the only helicopter tour outfit in the Wasaga Beach and Blue Mountain pocket of Ontario, and the view across the water genuinely does look like you've flown out to sea rather than stayed inland. It's a quick, smooth ride — perfect if you're helicopter-curious but time-poor, or want to tick the box without committing to a full-day adventure.

Sunset Zodiac Tour

When Alex from our team took this Zodiac tour off southern Vancouver Island, we were after a faster, bouncier take on whale watching — and that's exactly what we got. You're in a zippy inflatable boat rather than a lumbering catamaran, cutting across the Salish Sea on the hunt for orcas, humpbacks, seals and otters. The 3-hour outing kicks off from Victoria's waterfront and trades comfort for adrenaline. It's brilliant if you want speed and spray; less so if you prefer a gentler float.

3 hoursfrom AUD $196

Prince Edward Island Private Tour: Culture Costal and Local Life

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $622

Prince Edward Island Private Tour: Culture Costal and Local Life

When Jake from our BugBitten team ran this Prince Edward Island tour, it was a solid four- to five-hour loop hitting the literary landmark Green Gables House, the striking Point Prim Lighthouse, and the Dunes Art Gallery. PEI itself is gentle rolling farmland with red soil, quiet coastal stretches, and a small-town rhythm that feels worlds away from busier regions. The tour pitches itself at families and heritage buffs, with a private guide and flexible routing depending on your interests — so you're not locked into a rigid itinerary.

Yukon Gold Experience feat. Emerald Lake & Carcross

5 hours – 6 hoursfrom AUD $293

Yukon Gold Experience feat. Emerald Lake & Carcross

When Ben from our team ran this half-day loop from Whitehorse, we hit the highlights of the Yukon in five to six hours flat. The route threads Miles Canyon (where gold-rush stampeders once slogged through), the impossibly turquoise Emerald Lake, and the quirky Carcross Desert—actually the smallest desert on the continent. The crew was a mix of families and keen sightseers, and the pace felt brisk but never rushed. You finish at a gold-panning station where you genuinely keep what you find, plus there's a husky puppy cuddle break that alone makes the trip worthwhile.

Private Guided Old Montréal and Downtown Walking Tour

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $352

Private Guided Old Montréal and Downtown Walking Tour

When Jake from our team ran this private walking tour through Montréal, we got a proper sense of how the city stitches old and new together. The 3-hour route threads you from downtown through Old Montréal's cobblestone lanes—hitting Dorchester Square, Sainte-Catherine Street, the subterranean RÉSO network, and squares like Place d'Armes and Place Royale. It's the kind of tour where a guide who knows the neighbourhoods well makes the difference between a checkbox stroll and actually understanding why locals care about their blocks.

Private Jean-Talon Market & Little Italy Food Tour W/ 8 Tastings

When Mia from our team ran this private food tour through Jean-Talon Market and Little Italy, we clocked up two to three hours of proper eating. The market's been feeding Montrealers for decades — it's bustling, colourful, and thick with Italian delis, bakeries, and produce stalls. Then you slip into the tight residential streets of Little Italy, where multigenerational family businesses still operate much as they did when immigrant families first landed. The whole thing's structured around eight tastings that build a picture of Montreal's food culture without feeling rushed.

Flying Dress Photoshoot Experience in Ottawa

🛍 Shopping & Markets

Flying Dress Photoshoot Experience in Ottawa

When Em from our BugBitten team booked the Flying Dress photoshoot in Ottawa, we showed up expecting a quick tourist photo op — and walked away with something genuinely fun and well-organised. You pick a landmark (Parliament Hill, Dows Lake, Château Laurier, or dozens of parks and bridges), slip into one of 12 available dress colours, and spend an hour twirling while a two-person crew captures you in motion. The whole setup is private, so no crowds jostling for space, and you get 8 polished digital photos back within a fortnight. It's Ottawa's answer to those Pinterest-worthy flowing-fabric shots, minus the DIY stress.

Leather belt making workshop

When Alex from our BugBitten team booked this leather belt workshop in Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal, we found ourselves in a compact creative space run by a local designer who clearly knew her craft. Over two and a half hours, you'll hand-build a proper leather belt using real tools and materials—stamping, cutting, finishing the lot. The neighbourhood itself is a proper artistic hub, all street art and indie cafés, so it's worth arriving early or lingering after. You'll walk out with an actual wearable belt you've made, not a half-finished kit.

2h 30mfrom AUD $260

Private VIP Tour with Columbia Icefield Skywalk & Glacier Walk

Private VIP Tour with Columbia Icefield Skywalk & Glacier Walk

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this private tour along the Icefields Parkway, it was a full day of proper Rocky Mountain scenery — 13 hours door-to-door that lets you call the shots on pace and which stops matter. You're in your own vehicle with a local guide who knows the geology, wildlife, and the best light for photos. The road itself is stunning: turquoise lakes, waterfalls, glacier viewpoints, and the option to add the Skywalk or a glacier walk for extra money. It suits couples, families, and small groups after a customised experience rather than a bus full of strangers.

13 hoursfrom AUD $1194

Old Montreal Walking Tour with @MontrealExpert

🛕 Culture & History

Old Montreal Walking Tour with @MontrealExpert

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this Old Montreal walking tour, she got the full historical rundown in two-and-a-half hours with Thom Seivewright, a guide who actually knows his stuff and shows up every time—no rotating roster here. The route stitches together Place d'Armes, Place Jacques-Cartier, Rue Saint-Paul, and the Old Port, hitting the neighbourhood's layered European-meets-North-American character. Capped at 12 walkers, it stays intimate enough that you're not herding through crowds, and the vibe is less museum-lecture, more mate who happens to know everyone's backstory.

Niagara Waterfall Adventure

When Tom from our team ran this 11-hour Niagara tour, it delivered exactly what we wanted: the famous Falls, plus three lesser-known waterfalls tucked into the Escarpment that most visitors never find. The group leaves Toronto in a private air-conditioned coach with a bilingual guide, moving at a steady pace through the southern escarpment region. You're packed in with other travellers keen to see beyond the postcard shots, and the vibe genuinely feels like a road trip with mates rather than a typical tourist cattle drive. It's a solid day out for anyone wanting to see the headline attraction without skipping the quieter, weirder bits of the landscape.

11 hoursfrom AUD $184

Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto Optional Cruise & Journey

30 min – 1 hourfrom AUD $292

Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto Optional Cruise & Journey

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto, it delivered a solid all-rounder: nine hours covering the falls themselves, a maple syrup tasting, regional wine sampling, and a boat cruise (or alternative winter activity). The small-group setup — capped at 24 — beats the sprawl of big-bus operations, and hotel pickups in Toronto save you the early logistics hassle. The route traces the scenic Niagara Parkway with stops at the Floral Clock and Whirlpool Rapids, then parks you at the falls for about four hours to wander at your own pace. It's the kind of tour that works if you want the highlights without needing a deep dive into any one thing.

Moraine Lake Sunrise 3-Hour Tour from Canmore/Banff

When Mia from our team caught the Moraine Lake sunrise run from Canmore/Banff, we were out the door before dawn for a proper mountain moment. The 7-hour outing (3 hours at the lake itself) is built around getting you there early enough to dodge the day-trippers and see the Rockies light up without shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Small groups—capped at 13—and a local guide steer you to the best spots while hot drinks and blankets keep the chill at bay. The outfit also plants a tree for every booking through the Blue Green Planet Project, which is a decent addition to the experience.

Broken Group Islands Day Tour

When Alex from our team paddled the Broken Group Islands, we found ourselves drifting between rocky outcrops and old-growth forest in a way that felt genuinely disconnected from the usual tour-ticking rhythm. This eight-hour kayak loop sits on Canada's West Coast and attracts a mix of locals and visitors keen to move through water rather than just look at it. The operator prioritises comfort — gear's sorted, lunch is included, and guides tailor the pace to who's in the boat. It's not flashy, but it works: quiet paddles, coves to explore, and actual breathing room.

Montreal Queerstory Tour

When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this two-and-a-half-hour walk through Montreal's west-end downtown, it was a hard-hitting look at the city's queer history — the bars, the raids, the losses, and the wins. You're walking streets where LGBTQ2+ life happened, names and stories intact, not sanitised. It's the kind of tour that moves between brutal and celebratory, tracing how a community fought and built something resilient. The crowd tends to be curious locals and visitors keen to understand the place properly.

Private Transfer Vancouver Airport YVR to Cruise Ship or Hotel

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked a private transfer from Vancouver Airport to her cruise terminal, she skipped the queue for shared shuttles and got a dedicated driver instead. The service handles flight tracking, luggage loading, and a straight shot to your destination—whether that's a downtown hotel or the cruise docks. It's the kind of thing you book once and stop worrying about the airport-to-accommodation bit entirely. The 30-minute to one-hour drive sets a calm tone before your trip proper kicks off.

Evening Old Québec Walking Tour with Funicular

Evening Old Québec Walking Tour with Funicular

When Alex from our team caught this evening stroll through Old Québec, the timing was spot-on—arriving late and wanting to ease into the city without jet lag. The tour hits Lower Town's cobbled streets and Place Royale (where French North America kicked off), then glides up via funicular to the Upper Town's showpiece Château Frontenac and Terrasse Dufferin boardwalk. Two hours, golden-hour light bouncing off the St. Lawrence, fewer crowds than daytime runs, and you're positioned perfectly to grab dinner with a view. It's a gentle reintroduction to Québec after travel.

2 hoursfrom AUD $59

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Private Premium Day Tour

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $2073

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Private Premium Day Tour

When Tom from our team booked this private tour, we found ourselves in a shiny Ford Transit with the two of us and a guide, heading straight to Moraine Lake without queuing for the shuttle buses everyone else battles. The 7–8 hour loop takes in Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Morant's Curve — the postcard-perfect corner of the Canadian Rockies where turquoise water meets limestone cliffs. You get picked up from your door, dropped back the same way, and the van's air-con means you can escape the mountain chill between stops. It's a polished operation for couples or small groups wanting to skip the tourist mill.

Niagara Falls & Niagara on the Lake Luxury SUV VIP Private Tour

Niagara Falls & Niagara on the Lake Luxury SUV VIP Private Tour

When Tom from our team booked this private tour, we got a luxury SUV and driver for the day to explore Niagara Falls and the nearby village of Niagara-on-the-Lake — the kind of setup that lets you call the shots rather than follow a set itinerary. It's pitched at groups of four or more who want comfort and flexibility without the tour-bus crowds. Eight hours gives you time to hit the falls, poke around the charming town, and squeeze in a winery stop if that's your thing. It's a proper VIP experience: your own wheels, your own schedule, no rushing.

8 hoursfrom AUD $1350

Vancouver Holiday History and Hot Chocolate Tour

🛕 Culture & History

Vancouver Holiday History and Hot Chocolate Tour

When Em from our BugBitten team ran this tour, it threaded together Vancouver's downtown heritage sites with seasonal cheer and a proper hot chocolate to warm the hands. You'll duck into the city's grandest old hotels, clock their holiday decor, then get a private look inside the Marine Building — a striking Art Deco landmark. The whole thing runs just 90 minutes, so it's a solid half-day option if you're after something slower-paced than the usual sightseeing sprint. The crowd tends to skew families and couples after festive atmosphere rather than hard-core history buffs.

1h 30mfrom AUD $61

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $571

Peggy Cove Scenic Coastal Experience

When Charlie from our BugBitten team took the drive to Peggy's Cove, we got why this lighthouse pulls crowds — it sits on granite slabs jutting into the Atlantic, and it's legitimately photogenic. The 3-hour tour traces Nova Scotia's Lighthouse Route, rolling past fishing villages and rocky coastline. You're in a comfortable, air-con vehicle with a guide who knows the local history and can point out spots tourists usually miss. It's a straightforward coastal pilgrimage, best for those who want to see the famous landmark without the hiking commitment.

Private Customizable Niagara Wine, Beer, and Spirits Day Tour

When Tom from our team booked this private Niagara tour, we got the run of wine country without the coach-load crowds. You pick up to five spots — wineries, breweries, distilleries, your call — and a licensed driver takes you door-to-door in an upscale vehicle, handling all the bookings so you don't have to ring ahead. It's a proper luxury setup for groups up to 14, stretching across a full day (7–8 hours). The catch? Tastings and food are on your own dime, and they're not cheap. Still, if you've got a crew who want to explore Niagara's producer scene at their own pace, this beats herding through packed tasting rooms.

🛕 Culture & History

Caribou Crossing Adventure Tour

When Sarah from our team did the Caribou Crossing Adventure Tour, we found ourselves in a genuinely compelling pocket of Yukon history. Based 74 km south of Whitehorse, this six-hour outing sits in Carcross/Tagish First Nation country — a landscape of sharp mountains and deep lakes where you're standing on the migration corridor of some of humanity's oldest journeys. The tour threads ancestral knowledge through contemporary scenery, and it's backed by private transport throughout. It's not a casual stroll; there's real walking involved, and the guides aren't treating this as a theme park version of Indigenous culture.
