Here are 7 magical memories waiting for you:

✨ Walking Through a Real-Life Christmas Village

Step into a living snow globe. In December, Old Quebec becomes a storybook Christmas village — cobblestone streets glisten under twinkling lights, pine boughs hang from centuries-old stone buildings, and the scent of roasted chestnuts drifts through the frosty air. It’s the beating heart of every Old Quebec Christmas Market tour, and when you’re here, you’ll swear you’ve stepped into a holiday film set.

🛍️ Exploring the German Christmas Market in Old Quebec

A highlight of our Quebec Christmas markets tour is the enchanting German Christmas Market. Wooden chalet-style stalls line the square, each brimming with treasures: hand-carved ornaments, cozy scarves, maple-infused treats, artisan gifts, and steaming mugs of mulled wine to warm your hands — and your heart. It’s festive shopping with an Old World soul.

🏰 Experiencing Christmas at Château Frontenac

No holiday bus tour to Quebec City would be complete without time at the legendary Château Frontenac. Draped in lights and crowned with festive garlands, this world-famous hotel feels like the palace of a Christmas dream. Whether you’re snapping that perfect postcard photo or simply soaking in the grandeur, this stop will be etched in your holiday memories.

🍽️ Tasting Local Holiday Flavours

A holiday bus tour to Quebec City is as much about flavour as it is about scenery. You’ll savour Québecois tourtière fresh from the oven, sweet maple fudge, and warm cider that tastes like winter comfort in a cup. Add a countryside lunch at Sagamité Restaurant in Wendake, and you’ve got a seasonal feast that lingers long after the snow melts.

❄️ A Peaceful Countryside Winter Tour

Beyond the city walls lies a quieter magic. Our countryside winter tour meanders through Île d’Orléans and along the icy beauty of the St. Lawrence River.
