The itinerary

  • Check in to the iconic Fairmont Chateau Laurier and take a moment to settle into one of Ottawa's most storied hotels. This evening we meet the group and set out on foot through the Byward Market, Ottawa's oldest and most beloved neighbourhood, for an evening food crawl enjoying some of the city's favourite local flavours. We end the night at one of Ottawa's most breathtaking viewpoints, watching the sun set over the Ottawa River.

  • After a leisurely breakfast at the Chateau Laurier, we begin a private tour of the hotel itself -- uncovering its history, its charm, and its secret passages that most guests never see. We then sit down to the most luxurious high tea in Ottawa before an afternoon of free time to explore the city at your own pace. In the evening we board a cruise along the famous Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, learning more about Ottawa's fascinating history as we glide through the heart of the city.

  • Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before we are whisked away to Nordik Spa in Chelsea, Quebec. As North America's largest and most celebrated nordic spa wellness sanctuaries, this forest oasis is especially breathtaking in the autumn. We'll have the entire day to explore the spa and time to sink into deep relaxation, enveloped in a vibrant canopy of gold and crimson autumn foliage. The day's sense of calm gives way to a celebratory final dinner at one of Kimberly's favourite hidden gems-perched right on the water with panoramic views of the Ottawa River.

  • We share a farewell breakfast together before the day opens up for you to explore Ottawa at your own pace - whether that means a final wander through the market, a visit to the National Gallery, or simply a quiet morning before you depart.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • SIZE: Many group tours move in crowds of 40 to 60, but the Well Travelled intentionally limits our groups to just 14 women. This intimacy is the heart of what we do-it transforms a group of travellers into a circle of friends, allowing for a connected dynamic that simply isn't possible in a crowds.

    PACE: While many tours rush to check boxes, squeezing multiple excursions into a single day, the Well Travelled chooses depth over distance. We believe that one incredible, immersive experience-rich in understanding and local flavour-is far more meaningful than a blur of short stops that fade into one another by sunset. 

    ACCOMMODATION: Most regular tours offer mid-range hotels to lower costs, the Well Travelled caters to the woman who believes that where you sleep is an essential part of the journey. We understand that a hotel should be more than just a bed-it should be an experience! That's why Kimberly personally visits 15 to 20 hotels in a destination before making a selection. Kimberly looks beyond the stars, seeking out that rare, intimate "boutique" charm that even the grandest hotels sometimes miss. We believe that a beautiful day deserves a beautiful place to end it. 

    FOOD: Food at the Well Travelled is never an afterthought; it is part of the experience.  We select food that caters to the woman who travels with her palate, seeking out flavours that tell the story of the land. Whether we are sharing a farm-to-table lunch at a local organic farm, enjoying a white-linen dinner with a breathtaking sunset view, or discovering a hidden-gem food truck where the locals linger, you can be assured that every meal is hand-picked for its authenticity, quality, and ambiance. 

    BALANCE: We believe in travel that breathes. At the Well Travelled, we bridge the gap between a slow travel philosophy and the reality of limited vacation time. We achieve this by balancing group discovery with intentional personal downtime, so you don't need to recover from your vacation when you return home. Because your time is your most valuable asset, we've meticulously vetted every stop. From cherry-picked gems to immersive cultural moments, we ensure every experience transcends the ordinary and is worthy of your hard-earned vacation. 

    All of these elements combine to create a highly customized travel journey that lets you feel the soul of each destination. 

  • Absolutely - in fact most of our travellers come on their own. That's exactly what The Well Travelled was designed for. You'll be matched with a roommate if you choose the double occupancy option, or you can book a private room.

  • In the unlikely event the trip doesn't fill to minimum numbers it will be cancelled and all payments refunded in full.

  • Yes - if the trip is full you can add yourself to the waitlist and we'll contact you immediately if a spot opens up.

  • Kimberly will send all travellers a detailed packing guide before departure.

  • Spots must be booked no later than 90 days before the trip start date.
