Experience the intriguing cultural and historical attractions of Québec City and soak up the natural beauty of the gorgeous landscapes that create such a dramatic backdrop for this easy half-day adventure. Before making your way to the airport, discover the European charm and character of the first French city in North America! Your scenic narrated drive with an English-speaking guide will introduce you to important landmarks and the fascinating history of Québec's legacy. In the heart of the Lower Town and site of Samuel de Champlain's first settlement is the beautifully restored market square, the imposing Place-Royale.

The charm of the square's historic past has been beautifully preserved with its narrow cobblestone streets and typical 17th and 18th century stone architecture. It is also the location of the oldest standing catholic church in North America--Notre Dame des Victoires. This small stone church received its name following the Battle of Québec of 1690, in which an English expedition was forced to retreat. In 1711, it lived up to its name again when a British fleet sank in bad weather.

Arriving at the Dufferin Terrace and Château Frontenac area, your guide will give a brief overview followed by free time to explore the area of this magnificent hotel at the heart of the city. Marvel at its castle-like architecture and copper-roofed turrets and imagine the fairy tale experience awaiting inside. A photo stop will be made at Cap Diamant where you will have spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River, Lower Town, and surrounding countryside. Continuing your tour through the St. Louis Gate, you will next explore the National Battlefields Park, also known as the Plains of Abraham. This park was the site of the historic battle where the French surrendered to the British in 1759. The park is now transformed into a beautiful 250-acre park with hills, gardens, monuments, and artillery artifacts. A unique mixture of new and old is found along the trendy Grande-Allée, the Champs-Elysées of Québec lined with quaint shops, sidewalk cafés, and boutiques. You will pass by the Parliament Building, an imposing second Empire-style building.

Departing the Old City, enjoy a scenic drive along the St Lawrence River to the spectacular Montmorency Falls. Cascading down a 272-foot cliff, Montmorency Falls are one-and-a-half times as high as Niagara Falls. You will enjoy the breathtaking views and see the powerful forces of nature as the water of the Montmorency River roars down the cliff to eventually meet with the St. Lawrence River. Next on your itinerary is the convenient transfer to the Québec Airport where you'll board your flight home brimming with vivid images of a vibrant city and its spectacular location on one of the world's great waterways.
