Our first trip with VIA Rail took us from Montreal and Toronto to Ottawa this winter. Travelers boarded VIA trains in Montreal and Toronto and converged on Canada’s capital for a day of custom experiences. Among those were a private tour of the National Gallery, a food tour of Byward Market and a golden hour sunset shoot atop the Andaz Hotel.

We departed from Nova Scotia’s charming harbor-front capital of Halifax and the bustling metropolis of Montreal to end our journey in Quebec City, a unique destination that charmed us with its history, culinary scene, and old-world architecture.
