** CANCELLED **
As of Saturday morning, Nov 30, at 4:55 AM, the I-90 Interstate Highway is now closed to all commercial traffic from Buffalo, NY to Erie, PA due to the snowstorm. This is the highway that we require in order to reach Erie, PA. The storm, originally forecast to end on Friday evening is now forecast to linger in northern Erie counties along Lake Erie until Tuesday morning. As a result the governors of both New York State and the State of Pennsylvania have urged that travel not be undertaken to this area. For the safety of our passengers and our drivers & tour directors, this tour has been cancelled. All passengers booked on this trip will receive an email with further details.

Get ready for a shopping extravaganza! We're thrilled to invite you to our 3-Day Shopping Weekend from Toronto to tax-free Pennsylvania. This is the ultimate 3-day tour, packed with unbeatable bargains that outshine our classic 2-day tour.

Here are the highlights:
  • ​Your duty-free shopping allowance jumps to $800 per person!
  • We'll make a stop at the Duty-Free store before crossing back to Canada, so you can snag great deals on alcohol and tobacco.
  • Enjoy a relaxed schedule with more shopping outlets and plenty of time for serious bargain hunting.

We call this the "Shop, Shop, Shop Till You Drop" tour for a reason! While you might feel exhausted when you return to Toronto, the incredible deals you'll score will make it all worthwhile. The prices at Pennsylvania's outlet malls can be downright silly, and with no sales tax on clothes, children's products, and many other items, you'll be in shopping heaven!
