Local travel agency in Canada
Toundra Voyages, your local agency based in Montreal, Canada.
Our story
Toundra Voyages was born from a deep commitment to vast North American wilderness and a story that begins on the banks of a river in the Far North, where the idea of a locally-rooted agency took shape.
The agency was founded in 1998 in Montreal as a receptive office for Lyon-based tour operator Aventuria. The name pays homage to a foundational expedition on the George River, where a group of friends found themselves "lost in the Tundra". In 2007, Jean-Christophe left France to settle permanently in Montreal and take sole control of Toundra Voyages. The following year, his meeting with Charles, founder of Windigo Aventures, gave birth to the ToundriGo group and expanded the team's scope of action to Quebec, the Rockies, the Maritimes, Yukon, and the Arctic territories.
Today, the team works from the Atlantic Street offices in Montreal. Jean-Christophe leads the way, alongside Charles, Mathilde, who represents the inbound operations, and Oriane, in direct contact with travellers. They all share the same approach: in-depth knowledge of the territory, carefully selected partners, and a strong passion for tailor-made itineraries, whether in summer or winter.
Here, we don't replicate programs. We craft trips that reflect who you are.
Toundra Voyages is a member of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Montreal, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, fund protection, APST guarantee and oversight by French travel law. You thus enjoy the best of both worlds: the proximity of an on-the-ground team and the strength of a protective legal framework.
A beautiful trip to Canada starts with solid preparation. My role is to transform travelers' wishes into a clear, smooth, and well-structured itinerary.

Frequently asked questions about the agency
Do you still have questions? Here are the most frequently asked questions about how our agency works.
Toundra Voyages designs your trip directly in Canada, with advisors who know the ground daily. You avoid intermediaries, gain in responsiveness and benefit from advice on genuinely lived experiences — no standardized marketing catalog.
Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.
Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).
Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.
Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.
Payment is made in full in France, in euros, with Nomadays — secured by credit card or bank transfer. You have no payments to make in Canada: everything is pre-arranged (accommodations, transfers, guides, activities). You just need to budget for meals outside the itinerary and personal purchases.
