Day 1 – Arrive Montreal
Welcome to Montreal. A city of sophistication and
style, where the restaurant guide is required reading, where fashion calls
home and the shopping is hard to beat. Your package provides a transfer
from the airport to your choice of hotel.
The
Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is one of Montreal’s premier hotels.
The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is known for excellent service, and is
conveniently located above the rail station and the underground city.
The Marriott Chateau
Champlain is located in the heart of Montreal’s vibrant
downtown and is just steps away from Old Montreal; successfully bridging
the old with the new. The staff at either hotel will be waiting to assist
you with your check-in.
Overnight – Montreal
Days 2 & 3 – Montreal at Leisure
If this is your first visit to Montreal, your
sightseeing tour will show you the city’s history and her amazing
achievements. You will also begin to realize why people love living in
Montreal. Your visit takes you to the top of Mount Royal, and through
neighborhoods with splendid houses and a striking view of downtown
Montreal
and the St. Lawrence River. Also atop Mount Royal is
St.
Joseph's Oratory, one of the most visited shrines in the
world. On the way to
Olympic Park, you will pass through some of Montreal's
earliest neighborhoods with stairways that have a very interesting
history.
Norte-Dame Basilica is beautiful and an exceptional example of
Gothic Revival architecture. Old Montreal, located along the shores of
the St. Lawrence River, leads into the Old Port - One of the largest
redeveloped old ports in the world. Visit Bonsecours Market and City Hall
in this area. If you want to explore on your own, you will find that it
is easy to use the underground system or stroll Montreal’s streets that
are full of energy and atmosphere.

Day 4 – Montreal to Quebec City
Today you board
VIA Rail for your train journey to
Quebec City.
If this is your first visit to Quebec City be warned, you will want to
come back again and again. To put it in perspective, take everything that
you love about Paris and Rome, plus the charm of Mackinac Island; and that
comes close to what Quebec City is like. It seems that everything you
want to do or see is within easy walking distance. The charm of the
streets and buildings in the Petit Champlain are reason enough to visit,
but the shops offer items that are unique to Quebec. Many things are
designed and made right in the shops. Horse-drawn carriages, sidewalk
cafes, street entertainers, brightly-colored buildings, flowers and a warm
welcome, all add to your enjoyment of this wonderful city.
Your choice of either the beautiful
Fairmont
Chateau Frontenac or the lovely Manoir Victoria, will
guarantee a delightful stay in romantic “Old Quebec”. The Fairmont
Chateau Frontenac is an intricate part of the city’s history, not to
mention that they wrote the book on service and style! The
Manoir Victoria offers European charm with an enjoyable
atmosphere.
Overnight – Quebec Cit
Days 5 & 6 – Quebec City at Leisure
We have included a city sightseeing tour, so that you
will visit the city’s major sightseeing attractions and learn of her
fascinating history. You may be surprised to discover that the Plains of
Abraham, while rich in historic significance, may be just the place for a
picnic lunch or a bike ride. This vast area is now set aside as a park
and is a treasure. You will visit the Latin Quarter, the Ramparts, the
National Assembly, the Basilica, City Hall, Place Royal and the Citadelle.
Once you are done sightseeing, it is time to enjoy
Quebec City’s shopping and her gastronomically-renowned restaurants.
