Quebec Travelers Recommend

The Montreal Day tour is a great way to see the city. You buy a ticket for a hop-on hop-off tram, which includes local commentary and guides. The tram stops at around two hundred points of interest, so that you really get a sense of the city as a whole. Highlights include the Notre-Dame Basilica, with breathtaking interior decoration, the Olympic Park, which was built for the 1976 Olympic Games and St. Joseph's Oratory, a basilica which sits on top of Mount Royale and has the second largest dome in the world. This relaxed bike tour takes you through some of the pedestrianized areas of Montreal that you may have missed the day before during your hop-on hop-off tour. You will cycle through the Latin quarter, La Fontaine park and into the Victorian-built Golden Square mile. Then you’ll swing through the business district and finish in the Old City. This tour only lasts half a day, so once you're in the Old City you’ll have plenty of time to go back and visit the sights.

Quebec is one of the oldest cities in North America, dating back to the 17th century, and is heavily influenced by European, especially French, culture. This tour is a great way to get introduced to the historical home of French Canada, taking you through the narrow lanes of Old Quebec. You’ll wind along the St Lawrence River and enjoy numerous historical treasures, such as the Place Royale, the birthplace of French civilization in North America and the Plains of Abraham, where the famous battle between the French and English took place in 1759. Having spent a day walking the streets of Quebec, why not take to the skies and see it from above? This hot air balloon ride will allow you to marvel at the breathtaking sites around Quebec, as well as the beauty of the city itself. This tour takes you to Montmorency Falls, which is higher than Niagara, and to the shrine of Ste Anne de Beaupre.
