Kim's Canadian Adventure

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 08:48:55 GMT

From our Kyle store… Kim’s Adventure in Canada!

Our very own Kim has just returned from an amazing trip, and she’s here to tell us all about it!

She was very fortunate to visit Toronto and Niagara Falls with Canadian Affair, and what an incredible experience it was. From vibrant city sights to breathtaking natural wonders, every moment was filled with adventure, culture, and unforgettable views.

Getting There

My trip started with an overnight stay at the Hyatt Place, London Heathrow. The hotel was very comfortable, with a lovely restaurant on site and just a short distance from the terminals, ideal for a stress-free start to the journey.

The next morning, it was off to Terminal 2 for my Air Canada flight directly to Toronto. The flights were very comfortable, service was excellent, and even in economy, there was plenty of leg room, making the long haul feel much easier.

Toronto – City Life with Style

We spent three nights at the centrally located Chelsea Hotel, Toronto, a large but never crowded hotel with spacious rooms, a rooftop pool with stunning city views, and a hearty breakfast to fuel busy days.

Highlights of Toronto

From the 553-metre-high CN Tower, I even spotted Niagara Falls on a clear day! A harbour cruise on Lake Ontario offered spectacular skyline views, while the hop-on hop-off bus made it easy to explore Casa Loma, Ripley’s Aquarium, St. Lawrence Market, and the Distillery District.

A Segway tour through the Distillery District was a particular highlight, fun, easy, and full of local insight, ending with a well-earned drink. I loved wandering its unique shops and dining at El Catrin for Mexican food and table-side guacamole. With shopping at the Eaton Centre, Queen Street West, Yorkville, and the weather-proof PATH network, Toronto is perfect for a city break or the start of a Canadian adventure.

Nature’s Wonder

After three days in Toronto, I travelled 1.5 hours to Niagara Falls via the scenic Niagara Airbus. The Voyage to the Falls boat tour was unforgettable (ponchos essential!), followed by a walk along the Niagara Parkway with stunning views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. Highlights included lunch at Table Rock House, Journey Behind the Falls, and Niagara Takes Flight. Evenings at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel were magical, with dinner at Massimo’s, rooftop fireworks, and the lively Clifton Hill.

On my final day, a helicopter ride offered a once-in-a-lifetime view of the falls’ sheer power. I then explored the charming streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake before finishing at Peller Estates Winery, enjoying local wines and their famous Ice-wine, a few bottles came home with me.

Why Canada Stole My Heart!

My first visit to Canada won’t be my last! The people are welcoming, the cities are safe and vibrant, and the scenery from Toronto’s skyline to Niagara Falls is simply breathtaking. Toronto is perfect for a city break or the start of a longer adventure, while Niagara Falls is a must-see and truly unforgettable."

Olivia’s Manitoba Adventure with Canadian Affair

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:17:37 GMT

Olivia’s Manitoba Adventures

At Kyle Travel, we love hearing about amazing trips – and Olivia’s fam trip to Canada sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

“After a smooth train ride to London Heathrow, I stayed overnight at the Hyatt Place – it was the perfect airport hotel with really easy connections. The next morning, I met up with my group at Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounge to relax a bit… and enjoy a cheeky Mimosa before boarding.

We had a last-minute flight change, which meant a quick stop in Calgary – and honestly, it turned into a mini adventure! I loved visiting the Calgary Tower, grabbing drinks at the Fairmont Palliser, and having a lovely dinner downtown. If you ever have a few hours in Calgary, it’s definitely worth exploring.

Finally, we arrived in Winnipeg, and I got a good night’s sleep before kicking off the adventure. First, we went on a waterways tour along the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, then drove out to Riding Mountain National Park. We stopped at the Farmer Estate Brewery to try some local beers before reaching our lakeside accommodation in Wasagaming. The town was so charming, with friendly locals, cosy restaurants, and scenic walks.

The next morning, we met our guide, Pat Rousso, for a bison-spotting tour in the National Park. Seeing these majestic animals grazing freely was definitely a highlight. After that, we had brunch at Camp Cantina – a four-course delight, and the eggs benedict were honestly the best I’ve ever had!

We spent the afternoon exploring Wasagaming by FAT bike, taking in the lake, forest, and wildlife. Later, we visited Turtle Village for a cultural experience with the First Nations, baking bannock bread and learning about the Falcon Bloodline. We finished the day with a relaxing soak at Klas Nordic Spa.

Back in Winnipeg, I stayed at The Inn at the Forks, right next to the bustling Forks Market with its shops, food, and entertainment. Highlights included visiting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Assiniboine Park’s zoo and botanical gardens, and the stunning Qaumajuq museum, which has the world’s largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art. I also stumbled across the Back Alley Arctic, a hidden gem of street art celebrating Arctic wildlife.

Before flying home, I visited the Royal Aviation Museum, which was celebrating the Canadian Air Force centenary with hands-on exhibits – perfect for families like mine!”

Why Visit Manitoba?

Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, is often overlooked by UK travellers, but it’s packed with culture, adventure, and natural beauty. Stunning national parks, lakes, wildlife, and dynamic city life make it a must-visit. It’s also a gateway to Churchill, the Polar Bear Capital of the world – an unforgettable experience!

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:23:15 GMT

�� A Note from Kyle Travel...

Hello from all of us at Kyle Travel in Yarm and Barnard Castle!

We’re so excited to share this blog post with you a firsthand account of a truly unforgettable trip to Sardinia with Travelsphere and Just Go Holidays. One of our team members was lucky enough to join a fabulous educational visit alongside other travel professionals, and now we get to bring the highlights straight to you!

Whether you're dreaming of sunny shores, charming old towns, or a slice of authentic Italian culture, read on you might just find your next perfect getaway...

Sardinia – The Jewel of the Mediterranean

"In April, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Sardinia with Travelsphere and Just Go Holidays a destination I’ve always dreamed of exploring. And trust me, it did not disappoint. Our group of 10 travel agents and our brilliant hosts, Jasmine and Cathy from Travelsphere met at Gatwick Airport on Saturday, 26th April. There was a real buzz in the air as we boarded our EasyJet flight to Olbia, the gateway to Sardinia.

There, we were greeted by the wonderful Aideen, our local guide, who welcomed us with open arms and plenty of Sardinian charm. She instantly put us at ease and gave us a glimpse into the incredible week ahead. We made our way to the Hotel Rocce Sarde, our hillside home for the trip, with sweeping views of the glittering sea and lush landscape. That first evening, over delicious local food and wine, we all got to know each other. Spirits were high, and it was clear we were in for something special.

Day 1 – The Emerald Coast:

We kicked off with a journey along the Emerald Coast, a stretch of paradise famous for its beaches and James Bond-worthy beauty. Seriously, there’s a beach where 007 drove a car straight out of the sea!

In Porto Cervo, the marina dazzled with sleek yachts and seaside charm. We took a quirky noddy train tour, which was a fun way to see the town.

Day 2– Medieval Alghero & Wine:

Off to the enchanting town of Alghero, where cobbled streets, Gothic cathedrals, and historic churches filled our morning.

A vineyard visit in the afternoon gave us a true taste of Sardinia think wine, local delicacies, and that warm Italian hospitality. Needless to say, the bus ride home was very relaxed!

Day 3 – Palau & Capo D’Orso:

We visited Capo D’Orso, known for its unique bear-shaped rock formation and panoramic views. Whether we hiked or took the bus up, the scenery was jaw-dropping.

That evening was a standout: a traditional Sardinian dinner in a local home. From hearty food to genuine hospitality, it was a beautiful cultural experience.

Day 4 – Exploring Olbia:

Olbia charmed us with its quaint streets, granite churches, boutique shops, and friendly cafés. We wrapped the day with a mouth-watering Sardinian lunch in a cosy family-run restaurant. Bellissimo!

Day 5 – La Maddalena Boat Trip:

A boat trip to La Maddalena? Yes, please! Crystal-clear waters, postcard-perfect views, a relaxing stroll through the town, and even a swim in the Mediterranean. Pure bliss.

Day 6 – Leisure Day:

Time to unwind! Some explored nearby villages, others chilled by the pool. A chance to soak it all in before the final day.

Day 7 – Farewell, Sardinia:

With full hearts and lots of memories, we said our goodbyes especially to Aideen, who brought Sardinia to life with her warmth, humour, and endless local knowledge.

�� Final Thoughts...

Sardinia is more than a destination it’s a feeling. From its sun-drenched beaches to its rich culture and warm people, I know I’ll be back.

To Jasmine, Cathy, Aideen, and all my fellow travellers thank you for making this such a magical journey.

Two Countries, One Adventure: Morag's South American Cox & Kings Tour to Argentina & Brazil 2025

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:22:58 GMT

At Kyle Travel, we love hearing about incredible journeys and Morag’s recent trip to South America with Cox & Kings sounded absolutely amazing! From Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls and Rio, she experienced history, culture, stunning landscapes, and plenty of delicious food. Here’s Morag’s experience:

"We all met at London Heathrow on Saturday 29th March at 6pm, buzzing with excitement. Ten of us, including Craig, our Scottish Cox & Kings rep, set off on the adventure of a lifetime, flying to Buenos Aires via Rio de Janeiro.

Day 1 - Buenos Aires – Tango, Empanadas & Evita

We arrived in Buenos Aires and were met by our rep, Sandra, who took us to the 5* Madero Hotel. My room had a balcony overlooking the canal, and after a quick refresh, we explored La Boca and San Telmo, enjoying colourful streets, tango dancers, and empanadas that reminded me of Cornish pasties. That evening, we wandered along the riverbank before a delicious Italian dinner.

Day 2 : 

After breakfast at the hotel, we toured Buenos Aires. From the sleek financial district to the European-style north, the city was full of contrasts. We visited Recoleta Cemetery, home of Evita Perón, and toured the Alvear Art Hotel and Sofitel Buenos Aires Recoleta Hotel. Palermo Soho stole the show with its urban art, bohemian vibe, and boutique hotels like NUSS and Legado Mitico. That night, we were mesmerised by a tango show at La Ventana, enjoying authentic Argentinian dishes while watching incredible dancers.

Day 3 : Iguazu Falls – Nature’s Thunder

We flew to Iguazu Falls and checked in at the Gran Melia Iguazu, inside the Argentinian National Park. The views were breathtaking! We explored boardwalks and catwalks close to Garganta del Diablo and Salto San Martin, before relaxing by the infinity pool and enjoying cocktails with a jungle and waterfall view.

Day 4 :

Crossing into Brazil, we experienced Iguazu from a different perspective at Parque Nacional Foz do Iguaçu. The sweeping panoramic views were truly unforgettable, and walking the accessible trails brought us up close to the sheer power and beauty of the falls. Seeing both sides offered a complete and awe-inspiring picture of this natural wonder.

This journey has been filled with incredible moments from thrilling adventures to rich cultural encounters and stunning landscapes. It’s been an experience I’ll always remember, with memories that will stay with me long after the trip ends."
