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.

Mr Shaun O'Connell"
"We had an outstanding trip and our travel needs were handled very efficiently.
Mrs Hess"
"The beautiful buildings in Samarkand were awe-inspiring for me.
Mr Norman Young"
"The astonishing moment of entering the Cathedral of Monreale and the drama of the golden mosaics. Stupendous impact.
Dr Jennifer Somerville"
"The whole India experience was amazing but nothing prepares you for your first sight of the Taj Mahal and sunrise.
Mr Tony Dellow"
"We are just returned from a magical trip to Sri Lanka. The whole trip was beautifully organised from end to end and the quality of the hotels was astounding. Cox & Kings have really excelled in this holiday and the Sri Lankan hotels were of the best. We greatly enjoyed the train trip out of Kandy – even more so when, in exchange for a small gift, we were both invited in to the drivers cab for the most spectacular section of the journey. Thank you again for a memorable trip, faultless from end to end.
George and Sue Langton"
"Difficult to choose between the tracking and finding of desert elephants in Damaraland, and the safari drive in Erindi, where we saw a host of different animals and witnessed a kill (two cheetahs on a springbok). Both expeditions were enhanced by the jeep drivers who showed enthusiasm, persistence and knowledge.
Ms Sarah Dearman"
"Going to Varanasi which is a unique experience - an amazing combination of devout faith coupled with the madness that is India.
Mrs Anneke Berrill"
"The guide was incredibly well informed, gave us the most comprehensive briefings about the places we visited, the history and geography of Jordan, the politics and economy of Jordan, all in the context of the rest of the neighbouring Middle East & Central Asia, and really looked after us well.
Mr Stephen Williams"
"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"
"Our whole trip went very smoothly , everything was perfect in Zanzibar. Well done and many thanks!!
Mr Zolotas"
"Arriving at the desert camp at Manvar, going on the camel ride at sunset and staying in the camp overnight. Also visiting the Bishnoi tribe and realising that they have such an admirable philosophy.
Mrs Susan Rawson"
