Itinerary

Old Quebec City, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, is one of the few historical areas in North America to have fully preserved its Francophone culture and it's European feel, history, culture and warmth have made it a favorite destination for French students. Our trip explores the narrow cobbled streets, 17th- and 18th- century houses, historical buildings, universities, convents and churches, plazas and parks, shops and restaurants of the fortified historical district which is is a pleasure to explore on foot. We’ll stay at the oldest (and the best located) hotel in Old Québec, breakfast and dine at some of the best restaurants, walk the most significant streets with a professional guide, and tour inside some of the most interesting buildings. We’ll head outside Québec City to tour the stunning Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré and marvel at the Montmorency Falls from its observation decks and the suspension bridge that spans the Montmorency River.
