5-Day Quebec City, Charlevoix & Île d'Orléans Summer Tour
Touring Île d'Orléans • Stunning Charlevoix Train Ride Along The St. Lawrence • Montmorency Falls • Baie-Saint-Paul & more! Staying at a country resort hotel.

There is so much included in this tour that we're not quite where to start!

We will be staying at a country resort perched right on Lake Delage, just north of Quebec City and on this trip we explore a different region on each day of our visit. 

Of course we have guided tours and plenty of time in beautiful Quebec City itself. You see Montmorency Falls and enjoy lunch in at the Manoir Montmorency situated right on top of the waterfalls as well as plenty of free time for you to explore all that Quebec City offers. Don't forget all the delicious Quebecois cuisine!

Included in the tour is an escorted day trip to the Charlevoix region and we get there by riding on the stunning Train de Charlevoix which hugs the shores of the St. Lawrence from Quebec City to the very pretty town of Baie-Saint-Paul. While in Charlevoix you also get to visit an emu farm and a cheesemaker.

Our escorted day trip to Île d'Orléans (the island in the St. Lawrence) will allow you to experience the very laid back and idyllic life in rural Quebec, have lunch in a restored flour mill from the early 1700's, and enjoy some cider tasting at a local ciderie.

We are certain you won't want to leave when it's time to come home but isn't that what summer vacations are about?! :-)
