About Northwood Tours

Since 1983, Northwood Tours has been connecting travelers with the authentic spirit of Canada. Based in Toronto, we have spent over four decades perfecting the art of group travel, earning a reputation for excellence that spans continents and cultures.

Our Story

Northwood Tours was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to share the beauty and diversity of Canada with visitors from around the world. What began as a small operation has grown into one of Eastern Canada's most respected inbound tour operators, serving thousands of satisfied guests annually.

Our success stems from an unwavering commitment to quality, personalized service, and deep knowledge of our home country. We understand that a truly great tour is more than logistics; it is about creating moments that become cherished memories.

Our Philosophy

We believe that every group deserves a customized experience. Cookie-cutter tours may be efficient, but they rarely capture the essence of a destination. Our team works closely with each client to understand their interests, budget, and expectations, then crafts an itinerary that exceeds those expectations.

This personalized approach requires more effort, but the results speak for themselves. Our clients return year after year, and referrals represent a significant portion of our business. There is no better testament to the quality of our service than satisfied guests who recommend us to colleagues and friends.
