Problems of pick-pocketing of handbags and passports can be common in Canada especially in the major cities, as in any major tourist destination. We would warn you always to be careful of your personal belongings and not to carry your passports/extra cash/credit cards etc unless necessary. These should be left in a hotel safe where possible.

You should be particularly careful of handbags and wallets - where you need to carry money and documents it is advisable to use a money belt under your clothes rather than an exposed one.

I hope this helps.

I have been on the Canada and USA tour last September most hotels have a safe in the room so use that just remember to clear it out when you leave , they are very easy to use, normally with a 4 digit keypad number...great tour any questions just ask.

Thanks for that, what was the weather like, do I need Jumpers and thick coats or layers?

I did the add on for New York so spent a fair bit of time doing my own thing most of the time I just had very light jacket..

It's a great tour you see and do so much have fun.

I did this trip in September 2013. The weather was warm and sunny in both New England and Canada during the day and cool in the evenings. You will not need sweaters or heavy coat. A lightweight fleece will be fine.
