Allô Québec

This itinerary is the starting point for your tour, but it’s not set in stone. If there are days you would like to change, or specific places you’d like to go, we can work with you to create a personalized program that fits the needs of you and your students.

Day 1: Quebec

Depart the USA and get ready to say Bonjour to Québec City! Meet your ACIS Tour Manager and begin exploring the city on a walking tour. You will see Place d’Youville, la Porte St-Jean, the Latin Quarter, le petit Séminaire de Québec and Notre Dame de Québec Cathedral. After dinner, continue your walking tour, ending on the Terrasse Dufferin outside the Château Frontenac, where you will gather for a group photograph to commemorate the trip before returning to the hotel.

Day 2: Quebec

Arrive at the Martello Tower for an interactive lesson about military strategy of the era and discover some of the challenges of a soldier’s life stationed here at that time. After lunch, depart for the magnificent Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This gothic cathedral is renowned for its enormous proportions and superb stained-glass windows. Next, visit Parc de la Chutes Montmorency, where you will walk over a footbridge that passes directly over the 275-foot-high falls. Tonight, enjoy an all-you-can-eat dinner at an authentic French-Canadian cabane à sucre, where you'll spend the evening learning traditional dances and folk songs. The evening will end with a parting taste of maple syrup served on snow.

Day 3: Departure

Start your day with a visit to Musée du Fort where you will learn about the many battles between the French, British and American armies. Take the funiculaire to an early lunch on your own in the Quartier Petit Champlain, the oldest part of Québec City, where the ancient greystone buildings and cobblestoned streets date to the early 1600s. End your Québec City visit with a ferry ride across the mile-wide St. Lawrence River to enjoy views of the stunning old city one last time before returning home.
