25 Things to do in Toronto, Ontario Travel Guide and Top Attractions in Toronto, Canada Video Transcript:

The following travel guide will showcase 25 things to do in Toronto, so if you’re planning a trip here or you need some travel inspiration, be sure to stick around as we take you on a city tour.
And that’s a wrap for TO! We hope you enjoyed this city guide and that it gave you some ideas of what to see and where to go on your trip.

Dijon France • The Impressive Notre Dame de Dijon and Local Dijon Mustard Shops
Dijon France - The Impressive Notre Dame de Dijon and Local Dijon Mustard Shops. Dijon is a modern, growing city with a well-designed boat harbor. It is the center of Côte d'Or and was the ancient capital of Burgundy in the 14th and 15th centuries.
Visitors can wend their way through the narrow streets of the old quarter and may be drawn to the city's numerous museums; the Ducal Palace, which opens onto the square; the Parliament Building; and the 13th century Cathedral St-Bénigne, with its Romanesque crypt.
A number of the buildings in Dijon sport roofs with glazed tiles of varied colors and patterns. And of course the mustard merchants sell their wares in beautiful faïence jars. The recipe for the world-famous condiment dates to the 4th century AD.
Burgundy
Burgundy boasts some of the world's finest wines with around 60,000 acres of sunlit vines and arguably the prettiest canals in France. The Burgundy Canal winds its way in smooth curves through the heart of renowned wine growing areas such as Chablis, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, or rises steeply through a flight of locks that appear like staircases.
The Nivernais Canal meanders alongside the picturesque River Yonne, through a largely undiscovered region near the Morvan Hills, passing sleepy villages and Charolais cattle grazing in the lush pastures. This is the original home of hotel barging with its hand-swung bridges and old logging sites, and where time seems to have stood still for centuries.
The landscape around the Burgundy Canal is one of rolling hills eroded over the centuries and covered in forests of oak, maple and pine and where spring, summer and autumn each leave a unique signature. Medieval towns are surrounded by unspoilt countryside and the wonderful markets have stalls brimming with fresh local products cultivated on the fertile plains.
This is a region with a vast variety of cheeses, in all shapes, sizes and colours, strong in character or mild and fresh and all can be enjoyed with full-bodied red Burgundies, or perhaps with lighter white Chablis wines. Burgundy's gastronomic tradition is certainly rich and diverse and a sedate cruise on a hotel barge along one of its delightful waterways will allow you to indulge in good food and wine, two of the real pleasures in life.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especiallly on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.

24 Hours in London Travel Guide Video Transcript:
London. Like many world capitals, this is a city that never sleeps, and on my most recent visit, I got to experience that firsthand. My challenge was to discover 24 unique experiences in London – one for every hour of the day!
From secret speakeasies to living room concerts, and whimsical afternoon teas to bustling food markets, I scoured the city to bring you the following 24 hours in London! Let’s begin.
I skipped breakfast to visit a coffee shop in Hampstead!
With a bit of caffeine in my system, I continued on to my 9:00 am activity which was walking up Parliament Hill in Hampstead Heath with a great lookout point of the city skyline.
Set in a former power station it is home to the national collection of British art from 1900 to the present.
I got off at Westminster Station and walked over to Horse Guards Parade for my next activity.
If you’re visiting with kids there’s a section inside the museum where you can try on different uniforms.
Cruising down the Thames is a classic way to experience London while hearing interesting London facts that you won’t find in any guidebook.
With hundreds of food stalls selling everything.
What can you do in the middle of the afternoon in London? I made my way over to the West End for a show.
Having afternoon tea at the Sanderson was like stumbling down a rabbit hole and being transported to the world of Alice in Wonderland. Everything from the menu to the teapots to the ‘drink me’ potions was just right!
The RISEGallery has been doing a lot of work to help connect local artists with property owners, and this has resulted in some beautiful murals.
I attended my first Late where museums and art galleries stay open after hours, offering extended admission or putting on special events.
I got to experience Sofar Sounds, which is a pop-up concert that takes place in people’s living rooms. It’s not until 24 hours before the event that you are emailed the address and the names of the artists performing that night.
Then at 11pm, for a bit of live music, it was onwards to The Blues Kitchen in Brixton, where they do barbecue, bourbon, and blues.
Flight Club is a bar that puts a twist on the traditional English pub by adding modern darts into the equation.
With the clock striking one, my next stop transported me to London in the 1940s.
This bar was set in an attic and it had a bit of speakeasy vibe. There mixing all sorts of fun cocktails.
We checked out London’s nightlife scene at 3 am with dance moves at KOKO.
Last but not least, the final activity of my 24 hours in London was breakfast at Duck & Waffle. Located on a 40th floor, this restaurant has amazing views of Central London and they are open 24 hours a day.
And that’s a wrap for my 24 hours in London! I hope you enjoyed following along and that also got a few ideas for your own trip. As you can see, this city has plenty to offer, no matter the time of day. Wishing you happy travels and see you next time!

Quebec Travel Guide | Visiting The Eastern Townships Video Transcript:
In today’s video we’re taking you to Quebec’s Eastern Townships, specifically Sutton!
Neither Sam nor I had been here before, but this destination proved to have it all, from unique accommodations and adventure activities to beautiful hiking trails and an emerging foodie scene.
We spent 2 days exploring the area in partnership with Tourisme Quebec and Merrell Canada, and here’s a look at what we got up to!
Our first stop was La Rumeur Affamée, which is a gourmet food shop right in the heart of Sutton specializing in local products. We dropped by to pick up a few items for a picnic since we had an action-packed day ahead of us. And being the foodies that we are, we couldn’t resist sampling a few cheese and caramel spreads while we were in there!
With our picnic lunch sorted, we got in the car and drove out to Au Diable Vert.
This place started out as a mountain lodge, but it’s grown to become an outdoor playground with lots of activities on offer.
After watching a quick instruction video, it was time to hop on this zipline bicycle Vélo Volant!
The circuit ran through the forest, over ponds, along ravines, and we also got glimpses of the Green Mountains of Vermont off in the distance.
The nice thing about this activity is that we could only go as fast as we pedalled, and we were encouraged to take it slow and stop to enjoy nature and our surroundings.
Once we reached the rooster, we chose one of the many trails on the property.
Later on in the afternoon, we went kayaking in the river, where the staff’s only warning was, “Don’t paddle more than 5 kilometres south or you’ll end up in Vermont!”
The waters here were dark but very shallow and calm with hardly a current, so if you’ve been wanting to try kayaking, this is a great place to do so for the first time.
I also noticed that they had Stand Up Paddleboarding, but it was early autumn, and we weren’t sure we wanted to go for a swim if we lost our balance!
We did a daytime unguided kayaking tour, but they also offer guided moonlight tours if that’s more your thing.
From there, we drove back to our chalet at Huttopia, which was our home away from home.
That afternoon we drove into Sutton. This is a charming little town in the Eastern Townships and it’s very walkable, so we parked that car and ventured out on foot.
The main street here is lined with cafes, boutiques, art galleries and historic buildings, so we enjoyed a leisurely stroll before making our way to a microbrewery for dinner at A L’Ábordage.
And that’s a wrap for our adventures in and around Sutton. We hope you guys enjoyed this video, and we’ll see you in the next one where we continue our trip through Quebec’s Eastern Townships!

ICE HOTEL: Hôtel de Glace - Quebec City, Canada
I still to this day remember over a decade ago when I first heard of the Ice Hotel in Quebec City. Does something like this actually exist? Ever since that moment I've wanted to visit and finally I had the opportunity to set foot in the Hôtel de Glace during Quebec City Winter Carnival.

Located just 5 km north of Quebec City in Charlesbourg borough, the Ice Hotel itself is a phenomenal work of art and mastermind engineering. Featuring 51 double beds made of ice the hotel has a three month lifespan each year (from January to April). Taking over a month to build, 50 workers use 30,000 tons of snow and 500 tons of ice to set it up completely!
Our favorite moment, aside from checking out all of the theme rooms, was to sip on a cranberry vodka cocktail from our ice cup in the ice bar. It's one of those places that totally lived up to the hype and needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
We are in a winter wonderland today also known as the Ice Hotel here in Quebec City. Let me take you in.
Have a seat while you wait to be checked in.
The vortex of time!
Welcome to the Spa. This is where you come to warm up right before going to bed. Or when you need to pee.
It looks like a sauna in there.
Woah. We're going to ride the grand slide. If you don't fall down first.
We're going to enter the bar and drink in glasses made of ice.
What do you got in your hands? Vodka cranberry.
Mmmmm.
And my lips didn't get stuck because they prepared the ice a very special way. I couldn't tell you how but it is a special way.
Cheers! Salut!
Welcome to the Medieval chamber.
I slept here two weeks ago. What happened? I survived. I'm alive. Hey, you're here. And well! So basically like I told my husband I looked like a beached whale. Okay.
Because you're in your sleeping bag except first of all you go in the saunas, you go in the spas to warm up and then afterwards you go inside and there is a whole section towards the indoor pavilion reserved completely only for our roomed night guests.
Where they have locker rooms, lockers for their stuff, etc.
So once you're done with the spa and the sauna you go inside and you dry off and then you put on what you're going to need to sleep. And it is basically a little spandex thing or it has to be artificial like fleece. It has to be artificial, not artificial but synthetic fibers. Nothing cotton.
So no white socks. Like I'm wearing right now.
Basically, you then come into your room. Access is from nine PM to nine AM. We don't give out rooms. We don't do early check ins or late checkouts. Okay, because we have visitors. All of our clients have to mingle well throughout.
If you're all quiet there is no sound. It is phenomenal to sleep here. You go to bed around midnight and then we wake up people at eight in the morning because you're sleeping that much. Now you're going to say Majole, what about the three AM pee pee?
The only iffy part is the three seconds you put your boots back on. That's the only thing that was cold because you're leaving it outside. You don't put anything on any ice. I didn't put my glasses on the ice because it would go in. Literally. Okay, you put everything in your boots or in the pouch.
So basically in your sleeping bag pouch. Your coat, you open it up, you put it on your bed and then you're sleeping on top. So it gets your body heat. Inside your thermal sleeping bag it goes up to twenty four degrees. At one point you're in the night unzipped everything and I needed to breathe. I really, it's a good thing that there are showers here in the morning. That could also be a sign of hypothermia you know? No, but it was really everybody you're really hot. The minute you unzip you see the vapor coming out. Okay. It is a sleep that you cannot have anywhere else. The oxygen that you're breathing in is phenomenal.
And we couldn't leave without checking out the maple sugar shack. You lead the way.
Well, I didn't come away empty handed. Check out this. I've got two different maple syrup products.
