Daily Itinerary
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your local guide and go to your hotel to check in to your rooms. If rooms aren’t ready, you’ll be able to check your bags.
From there you’ll start a walking tour of the Old City and Carnaval exhibits. Be sure to wear warm clothes and boots, as you’ll be out and about for several hours. The tour will include: Money Exchange, The Ice Castle, Chateau Frontenac, Lower Town & The Old Port, The Citadelle Walk along the St. Lawrence, The Ice Sculptures, Old City Wall, Tubing, Sledding & Ice Tobogganing.
After the tour, you’ll return to the hotel. This evening’s dinner will be at Le Petit Chateau, a well known restaurant inside the Old City.
After dinner, you’ll walk over to the ice-toboggan track behind the Chateau Frontenac for a few rides! After you’ve had your fill of tobogganing, you’ll return to the hotel for the evening.
This morning you’ll have breakfast at the hotel and then start your day by getting to see the Normandin Soap Box Derby, right outside the hotel.
You’ll meet in the hotel lobby and walk to the bus stop outside the old city. Then, you’ll take a ride to St. Anne de Beaupre Cathedral. This magnificent cathedral is the destination of religious pilgrims and is well known for its miraculous power to cure the sick. Next, you’ll visit Chute Montmorency Waterfalls where you will catch a close up view of one of North America’s tallest waterfalls. You can also take a sleigh ride (minus the sleigh) down the ice bubble which forms at the base of the falls!
You will then return back to the hotel to freshen up and relax before dinner.
This evening, you’ll dine at Restaurant Le Bonaparte and then return to your hotel for the evening.
You will have breakfast and check out of the hotel. You will load your bags on the bus and depart for home.
You’ll stop at the duty free shop at the border on your way home. Here you can exchange any remaining Canadian money back to the U.S. and make purchases of duty free items.
