Quebec City holidays

North America’s only walled city north of Mexico City, Quebec City is one of Canada’s cultural gems. The Old Town, a World Heritage site, has over the centuries seen the continent’s first parish church, first museum, first stone church, first French-speaking university and first business district. During your stay in Quebec City we recommend visiting the Fortifications of Quebec, La Citadelle, North America’s largest fort, where a changing of the guard ceremony takes place at 10am each day during the summer months, and the Basilica Notre-Dame-de- Quebec.

Sample the culinary delights of Quebec

With a unique culinary tradition in North America, Quebec is justly celebrated for its many terroir products: craft beers and wines, ice ciders, Charlevoix lamb, farm-bred game (including deer, bison and wild boar), Gulf of St Lawrence shellfish, cheeses and maple products. Poutine, an unusual mix of thick-cut chips, gravy and cheese curds, is another speciality dish. First created in Quebec in the 1950s, it can now be found throughout Canada.

Winter in Quebec City

In winter, Quebec City is covered in a beautiful blanket of snow and ice. The city comes alive during the Quebec Winter Carnival, held from the end of January to mid-February, with night parades, shows and snow sculptures. Other attractions include the Christmas markets, which are set up in the heart of the historic district, and trips to the remote Magdalen Islands.

"The extraordinary beauty and variety of the temples, tombs and pyramids are beyond words.
Mr Simon Penney"

"It's difficult to pick an individual moment. The whole visit was so exceptionally interesting, demanding, informative, thought-provoking... The boat trip on the Neva was dramatic and evocative, the view across St Petersburg (I felt I could see all the way to the Baltic) on the first evening from the hotel restaurant on the 9th floor, the Faberge eggs.... all the places were stunning in different ways.
Mrs Barbara Minovi"

"The whole holiday was wonderful from start to finish. Two moments stand out in particular – first was seeing a mother tiger and her three cubs in the wild while on safari, second was a visit to the Taj Mahal.
Mr Robert McIlwaine"

"Most inspirational moment - Khiva - beautiful and unexpected although the people came close: friendly, interested proud of their country. Discussing jewellery, children and husbands with ladies selling bread in the market, and not a word of a common language between us, but we communicated just fine!
Mrs Jane Laver"

"It was a marvellous tour and a very good itinerary.
Ms Eamits"

"Thanks for all your help in creating a truly memorable holiday.
Miss Spencer"

"A good holiday which provided an excellent introduction to Madagascar, in a short space of time. The holiday was well planned, which meant that I was able to see a lot in one week. The tour manager was really excellent - one of the best tour managers I have had on a holiday of this kind.
Mr Sweeny"

"We learned so much about the values, tastes influences and interests of a people that look directly into your eyes and respond with humour and interest. We haven't laughed so much in ages. This has been a truly life changing visit... Thank you once again for an amazing experience.
Mr and Mrs Phillips"

"There were many inspirational moments each with their own quality. The tour manager, Garry, was quite outstanding and all the members of my party agreed that apart from the unique sights of China he was a major factor in making it a wonderful holiday.
Mr Stephens"

"The highlights were seeing the rainforest for the first time, the knowledge of our local guides was also amazing. Costa Rica has been the holiday of a lifetime for me…I cannot fault the service.
Mrs Tooley"

"There were so many wonderful moments. I think I enjoyed the most looking upon the 'Monastery' at Petra having climbed the 800 steps. At each place we had a wonderful time - the sunsets at the Marriott hotel in Petra. The camel and jeep rides at Wadi Rum. Snorkelling at the Red Sea. Floating in the Dead Sea. All very magical.
Mrs Stephanie Jenkins"

"The contrast between high-tech Tokyo and the Bullet trains, and the tranquility and peace of the Rock Garden and the floating gate at Hiroshima. The two nights in the Ryokens were memorable experiences. We also deliberately chose to go in November to experience the Autumn colour, and we were not disappointed.
Ms Janice Murton"

"Our trip to Guatemala was a great success. Thanks for organising such a great itinerary. There was plenty of contrasts, changes of pace etc to ensure there was always something of interest without being rushed around from sight to sight.
Ms Alexander"

"The tour was very well conducted by Malcolm Glaser, our tour guide and Charlie his driver - Malcolm could not do enough for us to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves therefore making the tour a great success.
Mr Trevor Bold
