Total 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

Welcome to Québec City! Meet your ACIS Tour Manager and begin to explore 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 pause for a group photograph before returning to the hotel.

Day 2: Quebec

This morning discover more of the city on your bus sightseeing tour that will include Le Parc des Champs-de-Bataille and many other points of great historic and cultural significance. This afternoon begin a cultural and historic Chasse au Trésor that will test you on what you have learned thus far about the rich history of New France. After dinner, walk to a 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.

Day 3: Quebec

Spend time this morning with your Tour Manager at Centre Morrin, a former prison building that has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Next, marvel at the magnificent Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This gothic cathedral is renowned for its enormous proportions and superb stained-glass windows. Then visit Montmorency Falls, where you will walk across a footbridge that crosses directly over the top of the 275 feet high falls – almost 100 feet taller than Niagara 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.

Day 4: 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.
