Description

Begin your day at the designated meeting point in Montréal, where you'll board a modern, air-conditioned coach for a comfortable ride to Québec City. A trilingual guide—fluent in English, French, and Mandarin—will accompany you, offering insights and commentary throughout the journey. Your first stop is at the majestic Montmorency Falls, one of Québec’s natural wonders. Towering at 276 feet (84 m), these spectacular cascades are 1.5 times the height of Niagara Falls. Stroll along the lookout points and enjoy unforgettable panoramic views. Next, you'll make your way to Québec City — North America's only walled city north of Mexico and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Join a certified guide for a walking tour through the historic cobblestone streets of Old Québec. Soak in the charm of Petit Champlain, explore its inviting boutiques, and take in the splendor of the iconic Château Frontenac — one of the most photographed hotels in the world. Later, head to the historic Old Port and board your sightseeing cruise on the St. Lawrence River. Relax on deck as the city skyline unfolds before you, along with sweeping views of the Île d’Orléans, Montmorency Falls in the distance, and Lévis across the river. Your expert guide provides live bilingual commentary, sharing captivating stories about Québec’s rich history, maritime heritage, and famous landmarks. As your cruise returns to port, take time for one last stroll or photo before boarding your coach for a relaxing, scenic ride back to Montréal—filled with unforgettable memories of Québec's beauty, history, and charm.
