Essence of Eastern Canada (End Montreal, 8 Days)

We enjoyed our trip. The tour guide and driver were very professional and knowledgeable and definitely added a valuable element to the trip. The main thing to be aware of is that they reduce costs by selecting hotels that are outside of the downtown areas. They also reduce costs by not providing meals—we only had 3 breakfasts included (2 continental and 1 at a sugar shack tour). So make sure to account for all your meal expenses and whether you want to participate in the additional tours or not.

Eastern Journey

Our trip was in Eastern Canada the first of July 2023. It was a nightmare to figure out how to get to our hotel from the train and subways, up and down soooo many stairs then walking the rest of the way with our luggage mind you. Definitely call for a ride to the hotel. Our first hotel was nice in Toronto. Niagara Falls was fun and definitely something to experience. The tour buses on our whole trip were comfortable and we had great drivers, especially Mike. He was so personable and took really good care of us! The second hotel in Ottawa was good too but when we went to Quebec City that was the worst hotel I’ve ever been in! The beds were uncomfortable, the air conditioner didn’t work well at all, and the shower was messed up and only ran hot water. Then the water wouldn’t shut off so we had to call someone to shut it off with tools. The tub didn’t have anything on the bottom for you to not slip so I slipped getting in and tore the towel rack down which was just glued on. I ended up having to place a towel in the shower where we could take a shower and not fall down. The people that worked there were rude. The carpet in the hallways was disgusting and coming up which is a major trip hazard. One couple that was on the tour with us showed me a piece of metal that fell from his ceiling in his room and hit him in the head. We had to stay two miserable nights there! Our next hotel in Montreal was okay and the last hotel they put us in back in Toronto was a very nice hotel and had a wonderful breakfast. Our guide was nice and informative too. We enjoyed seeing everything we did either while in the bus or walking around the cities. I’m not sure if I will do another group tour or not. Guess we’ll see….

Best of Eastern Canada (End Montreal, 9 Days)

Optional excursions were reasonably priced. Suggest you put together other places in each city as a walking guide or short taxi or uber ride. Example access to close by museums open late and could walk to from hotel. Free time activities and what they are and where located is helpful.tour guide can offer to accompany a group interested to explore more during free leisure tome.Provide more detail info about the logistics of site visits. Niagara falls..suggest more water proof gear clothing and shoe types etc. Terrain to expect when visiting certain sites and possible alternatives.climbing and how difficult-easy or more strenuous or advanced climbing activity. Overall, small groups so much better than filling up bus. Thank you for giving single travelers their own bus space. Would love to watch more travel videos on longer driving distances.

Eastern Canada Discovery (Classic, 8 Days)

Eastern Canada Adventure (Summer, 9 Days)

Historic Cities of Eastern Canada

This was the first time I’d been on a holiday to North America and also the first time I’d been on an escorted holiday. The group size was around 30 people (mainly couples), in total there were four single travellers on the holiday, most people on the holiday would have been over 50 years old. This holiday isn’t suitable for someone who can’t stand heights or who doesn’t like boat trips as two boat trips are included and lunch up the CN Tower is included, while some of the hotels in Canada are very tall and don’t have that many rooms per floor – I was on the 30th floor of the hotel in Toronto. The first day we got an oldish, not very luxurious coach but the tour director did say the coach and driver would just be for that day and for the rest of the trip we would have a different coach, which was a newish Globus branded coach which had better seating and more leg room than the coach we had on the first day. Apparently the different coach and driver on the first day was down to working hours for the main driver so I imagine it happens every time. In Ottawa the tour director promised us something that wasn’t advertised. It turned out this was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Museum. I found this disappointing as it wasn’t very interesting and an included tour of the Parliament building or the Royal Mint would have been of far more interest to me. Local guides provided tours in Quebec City and Montreal. I think the one of Quebec City worked well but the one of Montreal was 2 hours, mainly on the coach (after already having spent most of the morning on the coach) alighting only to go inside a Cathedral and at a photo opportunity from a vantage point so I would have preferred a bit more walking around Montreal. For included meals be aware that you won’t have the full restaurant menu to order from but a special menu which doesn’t have as many options, in some cases there was only one available option for starter or dessert. If you book this tour and it’s possible I’d recommend arriving on Thursday and departing on Sunday as both Toronto and Montreal are huge cities and the tour only gives you limited time in both cities. For me it wasn’t possible to stay an extra night in Montreal and I don’t feel there wasn’t enough time to see the city.

What people love about quebec city tours.

I LOVED this tour. This was my first time as a solo traveller. The tour guide and the driver were both excellent. The experiences were incredible. Trying to arrange the amount of cities, and experiences solo, with hotels, travel etc is not possible for anywhere near the amount paid. Value for money is excellent. Hotels overall were good. There were some that were a little out of the cities, however the tour guide and driver did their best to accommodate by driving everyone back into the city if they wanted to go. Most of the experiences were really good. The Montmorency Falls as an extra trip with meal was a little pricey. There was not enough time at the Falls and the best view would be down the bottom. This could have been a free trip, without the meal, I would suggest this is looked at. Also in Montreal the tour guide who took us round, was not very engaging and it was difficult to hear her. Everything else was spot on. Well organised, excellent value for money, lovely people, beautiful country, wide range of experiences. LOVED IT. Will definitely be doing another tour.

A walking tour of Québec City

Dec 16, 2019 • 5 min read

The Fresque des Québécois tells the story of Québec City’s history. Image by MANIN Richard / hemis.fr / Getty

Founded in 1608, Québec City is North America’s oldest walled city and the cradle of French civilization in the New World. It’s also a walker’s dream: compact, picturesque and brimming with European charm.

This tour reveals Québec ’s rich and colorful history, taking you down narrow cobblestone streets, past mansard-roofed houses, across the legendary Plains of Abraham and alongside the mighty St Lawrence River. The route is roughly 6km, 1 hour 20 minutes of walking. 

Grand perspectives on the river

For a palpable sense of Québec City’s dramatic setting, step onto the [1] Terrasse Dufferin , a magnificent 425m-long boardwalk perched atop Cap Diamant, a 60m-tall cliff with bird’s eye views of the St Lawrence River. From this vantage point, it’s easy to understand why the Algonquins (North American indigenous people) called this place kébec (where the river narrows) and why French explorer Samuel de Champlain chose this strategic site for New France’s first permanent settlement in 1608. Look for the statue of Champlain and the nearby excavations of his second fort, which stood here from 1620 to 1635.

Nowadays it’s the [2] Château Frontenac that rules these heights. With fabulous turrets and multiple wings graciously complementing its spectacular setting, this audaciously elegant structure is the world’s most photographed hotel and the uncontested jewel of Québec City's skyline. Completed in 1893, it was one of the Canadian Pacific Railway's series of luxury hotels built across Canada. Over the years, it's hosted luminaries such as Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, who gathered here for the Québec Conferences during WWII, as well as Alfred Hitchcock, who featured the Frontenac in the opening scene of his 1953 mystery I Confess . Other illustrious guests have included King George VI, Princess Grace of Monaco and Paul McCartney.

Plains of Abraham: where Québec’s history turned

Follow the boardwalk southwest and climb via the Promenade des Gouverneurs up onto the grassy expanses of the [3] Plains of Abraham , site of the pivotal September 13, 1759, battle in which British general Wolfe led his men in a sneak attack up the cliffs, catching the French unprepared and precipitating Britain’s takeover of New France. The Plains are now a historic park and a recreation paradise, threaded with cycling, skiing and walking trails and used as the prime venue for Québec City’s annual winter carnival.

As you cross the Plains, look on your right for the [4] Citadelle , a massive, star-shaped fort built by the British in the 19th century to defend against American invasion and a possible revolt by the local French-speaking population (that's why the cannons point not only at the river, but at Québec City itself!).

Inside the old city walls

Enter the picturesque heart of the Old Upper City via [5] Porte St-Louis , an impressive gate first erected in 1693 (though the current incarnation dates from 1878). To your left, backed by Québec’s old city walls, is the [6]Parc de l'Esplanade, once used for 18th- and 19th-century military exercises. Continue along Rue St-Louis, pausing at the corner of Rue du Corps-de-Garde to look for a cannonball embedded in a tree (supposedly since 1759). Number 47 Rue St-Louis is where France’s legendary General Montcalm spent his final 24 hours, after being shot by the British during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

At 34 Rue St-Louis, look for the traditional Québécois restaurant [7] Aux Anciens Canadiens , housed in a 1676 home whose steeply slanted roof was typical of 17th-century French architecture. Turning left onto Rue des Jardins, you'll pass a sculpture by Jules Lasalle honouring the nuns who came to Québec and educated both French and First Nations girls at the adjacent [8] Ursuline Convent . Bear gently right to reach the elegantly handsome [9] Cathedral of the Holy Trinity , modeled on London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields Church. Dating to 1800, it was the first Anglican cathedral ever built outside the British Isles, with pews made of oak imported from Windsor Castle's Royal Forest.

A block further on, look on your right for [10] Basilique-Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Québec , an imposing cathedral that got its start as a small Catholic church in 1647 but has been rebuilt repeatedly to repair damage from fires and battles, including the British-French conflict of 1759. Next door, a gate leads into the grounds of the [11] Québec Seminary , founded in 1663 as a place of religious education; it's also where American officers were locked up after their unsuccessful siege of Québec in 1775-76.

Detour briefly down Côte de la Fabrique to Rue St-Jean, where you can break for a snack at one of Quebec’s best boulangeries, [12] Paillard – its shelves brimming with fresh-baked croissants and other French-inspired delights. From here, make your way back to Rue des Remparts and follow the town walls to a fine overlook of the Lower Town waterfront.

Exploring the Lower Town

Descend along Côte de la Canoterie, which for centuries was the main link between the Upper and Lower Towns (and classes); Hope Gate stood here until 1873 to keep the riffraff from entering the Upper Town uninvited. At the foot of the hill, turn right onto Rue St-Paul, the heart of Québec's antiques district, where you can browse for your very own piece of Québécois history. One block over, take a peek at Rue Sous-le-Cap, Québec City’s narrowest street and a former red-light district.

Follow Rue Sault-au-Matelot and Rue Notre-Dame along the base of the cliffs to the [13] Fresque des Québécois , a marvelous 420-sq-meter trompe-l'oeil wall painting, where you can pose for the requisite photo alongside historical figures like Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain. From here it’s a short walk to [14]Place-Royale, Québec City’s original town square and home to North America’s oldest stone church, the diminutive [15] Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires , dating from 1688 and named for French victories over the British.

Finish your grand loop with a two-minute funicular ride back up to Château Frontenac, or enjoy one last steep but scenic walk up the evocatively named [16]Escalier Casse-Cou (Breakneck Staircase). Either way, you’ll enjoy lovely views over the [17] Le Quartier Petit-Champlain , North America’s oldest commercial district, replete with boutiques housed in 17 th - and 18 th -century buildings.

Star Tribune Anne Stein

We met the No. 1-rated walking guide in the city, Samuel Dubois. He’s a Quebec native — with bushy beard and red-and-black wool plaid shirt — with a wonderful sense of humor!

Tripadvisor review Paul H

Our guide Samuel was extremely eloquent and entertaining and whilst hitting the highlights of Quebec also delivered against his promise of showing us facets of Quebec we would not see on a coach trip. We found the tour nicely easy-paced and very interesting and certainly appreciated the local flavour that Samuel brought.

Tripadvisor review Maciu Selina

This was my favorite walking tour and guide in Canada. Despite the bad weather conditions, Sam made the tour extremely enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, I learned a lot about the city and on top of that - Sam had a great sense of humor. I can strongly recommend!

20 Best Things to Do in Quebec City — Poutine and Nordic Spas Included

Here's how locals recommend exploring the French-Canadian destination.

Steeped in old-world elegance, Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America, and it has the historical sites to prove it. From the cobblestoned streets of Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) to myriad bakeries turning out buttery croissants, visitors to the French-Canadian metropolis have ample opportunities to learn about its history and to partake in time-honored traditions.

Home to lively festivals, innovative restaurants, and green spaces that serve as year-round playgrounds, the city also makes for a great weekend getaway, one with a dose of European flair (without the transatlantic flight). With the help of the city’s top concierges and tour guides, we’ve put together a list of the best things to do in Quebec City.

Take a walking tour of Old Quebec.

Founded in 1608 by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, the Historic District of Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the continent’s only fully walled city north of Mexico. Head to the tourist information center in Upper Town, across the street from the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac , to join a historic walking tour with Tours Voir Québec . Or book a private adventure with Tours Accolade , which offers tours based on your genealogy and multi-sensory excursions for the visually impaired.

Explore Quartier Petit Champlain.

Immerse yourself in 17th-century New France by strolling around the Petit-Champlain and Place Royale area. “Explore the oldest stone church north of Mexico, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires (built in 1687); grab a coffee at Smith Cafe , and continue your exploration along Petit-Champlain, one of the oldest commercial streets in North America — often voted among the most beautiful streets in Canada,” says Geneviève Guay, head concierge at Auberge Saint-Antoine .

Marvel at Montmorency Falls.

At 272 feet, this gorgeous waterfall is about 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls, and there are plenty of nearby activities to try, too, including zip lines and via ferrata routes, plus a suspension bridge, cable car, and cliffside boardwalk with panoramic views. The best part? It's just a 15-minute drive from the city center.

Have a picnic at the Plains of Abraham.

The site of a battle in 1759 , the Plains of Abraham is now a giant urban park enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. “The Plains is the perfect place for a glass of wine and gourmet picnic in the summer sun,” says Simon Bovoli, director of concierge service and luxury experiences at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. “I always recommend that visitors stop at one of the city's gourmet bakeries or fresh produce vendors to purchase all of their picnic essentials and find a spot with a view of the river or near a local busker to enjoy.”

Peruse the world’s largest collection of Quebecoise art.

Art lovers will want to carve out at least a few hours to visit Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec , which houses more than 40,000 works from the 17th century to the present day. Be sure to find the noteworthy collection of Inuit art housed in the stunning Lassonde Pavilion.

Discover the city’s military history at Artillery Park.

This park features 18th-century French army barracks and is a must-visit for history lovers. Don’t miss the Arsenal Foundry (a giant model of Quebec in the 19th century) and the Dauphine Redoubt, where you’ll find guides in period costumes speaking in character. “It’s not often included in the walking tours of the city, or even the bus tours that are offered, but it’s a fascinating place covering the history of the French and British troops in Quebec City from 1712 to the end of the 20th century,” says Christian Gingras, a local guide with Tours Voir Québec.

Appreciate the view from the St. Lawrence River.

For one of the best views of Quebec City, get on the river via commuter ferry — the boat to Lévis leaves every 30 minutes and only costs a few bucks. After the 15-minute crossing, you can stroll along the waterfront in Lévis. “In the winter, it’s also a great experience to see the blocks of ice being crushed and pushed around by the ship when you’re on the bridge of the ferry,” says Gingras.

Learn about the area’s Indigenous cultures.

Travelers don't have to go far to immerse themselves in the province's rich Indigenous cultures. Just 20 minutes from downtown, Wendake is the cradle of the Huron-Wendat Nation and offers numerous ways to learn about its traditions. Join a craft workshop at the Huron-Wendat Museum , go on a night walk through an illuminated forest with Onhwa' Lumina , see traditional dance performances, hear stories at the national Ekionkiestha' longhouse, or sample delicious First Nations cuisine at Restaurant La Traite .

Have afternoon tea at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac.

This property is said to be the world's most photographed hotel , and it’s easy to see why. Perched on a clifftop, Quebec City’s grand dame hotel dates back to 1893 and boasts beautifully preserved decorative features. Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth popping in to gaze up at the chandeliers in the lobby and indulge in a leisurely afternoon tea at the Champlain Restaurant , which dates back to 1893.

Stroll along Dufferin Terrace.

This wooden boardwalk sits beside the Château Frontenac and offers one of the most beautiful views of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding area. Walk along the promenade, relax on a bench, and enjoy live music from buskers in the summer, or head down the locally loved toboggan run in the winter.

Sample small-batch maple syrup.

Quebec is the world’s largest producer of maple syrup, so travelers would be remiss not to sample the province's liquid gold. The sugaring season typically runs from the end of February to the beginning of May, but you can also taste quality maple syrup at local markets and restaurants year-round. “It is a backbone of our cuisine at the restaurant, and also a staple food you can find in every single household in Québec City,” says Tim Moroney, chef-owner of Restaurant Alentours . “If you want to nerd out, go for a syrup — maple, birch, and bourbon-aged — tasting at Domaine Small .”

Attend the Quebec Winter Carnival.

Every February, Quebec City hosts one of the world’s largest winter carnivals — a tradition that has been going strong since the 1950s. The 10-day celebration includes night parades, ice canoe racing, musical performances, and activities like snow bathing and tobogganing. But one of the major highlights is watching artists carve extraordinary snow sculptures.

Hit the trail in Jacques-Cartier National Park.

Only a 45-minute drive from downtown, Jacques-Cartier National Park is a spectacular glacial valley sliced by a stunning river. There are more than 60 miles of trails to traverse, or you can kayak or canoe. And while the park is beautiful year-round, it is particularly stunning at the end of September and the beginning of October when the fall foliage in Quebec hits its peak. “Les Loups Trail rewards you with a spectacular view of the entire valley from its summit,” says Guay.

Relax at a Nordic spa.

After all the walking, head to one of Quebec City's many Nordic spas to soak in thermal waters. There are several options right in the heart of Old Quebec, including the architecturally stunning Strøm Nordic Spa and Sky Spa ; the latter boasts a year-round rooftop patio and a view of the St. Lawrence River. Prefer to recharge in nature? Head to Sibéria Station Spa to enjoy hot pools and saunas nestled in the forest.

Sample poutine, a regional staple.

A trip to Quebec City wouldn’t be complete without trying poutine, one of Canada’s most iconic dishes. For a local take on the dish — French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy — head to La Souche Microbrasserie , which Moroney describes as “a beautifully raw neighborhood brewery” and a “true local hangout” in one.

Catch a live show.

Thanks to several bar de chansonniers (bars with folk music) and concert venues, it’s easy to rock out in Quebec City any time of year. Guay suggests that true music fans should visit in the summer, when the city hosts several festivals. In early July, Le Festival d'Été brings together hundreds of artists for 10 days of music. The Cigale festival brings live performances to the beaches of Baie de Beauport, just minutes from downtown Quebec City, in August.

Visit Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré shrine.

The oldest pilgrimage site north of Mexico and one of five shrines in Quebec City, this site lures architecture lovers with its intricate features. Stained glass, stone, and wooden sculptures decorate the Catholic basilica , and there are paintings and mosaics to see as well. In the summer, a river shuttle connects Old Quebec to the shrine, making it easy to explore the site and its scenic surroundings.

Explore the island of Ile d'Orléans.

Ile d'Orléans is a bucolic island just 15 minutes from Quebec City by car, and it's a favorite among gourmands and history lovers. Home to vineyards, orchards, strawberry fields, and centuries-old buildings, you can easily spend a full day visiting wineries here and loading up on homemade jams, chocolates, and other goodies. For the best views, locals recommend a fall visit. “As the vines turn to red and gold, sit back and enjoy a glass of locally made wine with the views of Montmorency Falls and the colorful Côte de Beaupré in the background,” says Frantz Noël, co-owner of tour agency Conciergerie du Terroir .

Tour the largest British fortress in North America.

Sitting at one of the highest points in Quebec City, the Citadelle of Québec is a vital component of the city’s fortifications. It’s still an active military base, so you must join a tour to explore its buildings, which date back to the 1800s. The site often offers seasonal events, such as musical performances and changing of the guard ceremonies, so it’s a good idea to check the website before planning your visit.

Sleep in an ice hotel.

For a one-of-a-kind overnight experience, head to Hôtel de Glace , a hotel built with 2,300 blocks of ice and 15,000 tons of snow. Located at Village Vacances Valcartier, just 20 minutes from downtown Quebec City, this architectural wonder welcomes guests for tours and overnight stays from January to March. The temperature of the rooms hovers around 23 degrees Fahrenheit (even when it's -22 degrees Fahrenheit outside), and guests can warm up in hot tubs, saunas, insulating sheets, and arctic-grade sleeping bags. While you’re there, hit the ice skating paths and massive snow slides for a true Canadian adventure.
