Trip Summary

Quebec City in winter has beauty like no other city. The history, the charm, the old town, sparkling with a gentle covering of snow, it glitters both during the day and at night. 

Join us for our 3-day tour to Quebec City for the Winter Carnival over the February long weekend. 
We leave Toronto on Saturday morning and arrive in Quebec City in time for the amazing night time parade. 

We spend Sunday having breakfast at the Manoir Montmorency overlooking Montmorency falls and journeying up to the top of the waterfalls in the cable car gondola. Then we spend a few hours exploring all the activities at the winter carnival in the old town, followed by a visit to the world famous Ice Hotel, also known as Hotel de Glace. You get to experience the hotel both during daylight and at nighttime as it is lit up in all its surreal glory. You even get to enjoy a cocktail, served in an ice glass of course, while sitting in reclining chairs made entirely out of ice! For those who have stamina, you have the option of going back to the old town for night time festivities. 

On Monday morning, we start with a guided tour of the city with a local tour guide followed by a buffet lunch at one of the largest buffets in the Quebec City region. And then it's time to leave this amazing city and make our way back to Toronto, exhilirated and somewhat exhausted.

Tour Highlights

Winter Carnival Video

Night Time Parade

Winter Carnival

The winter carnival takes place in downtown Quebec City and occupies most of the downtown area as well as the park on the waterfront known as the Plains of Abraham. 

There are too many activities happening at the same time to list all of them here but you will be given a list of the things that you can attend during our time there. 

Montmorency Falls (Parc de la chute Montmorency)

Just spectacular! There's no other word to describe the Montomorency Falls in winter. The falls are frozen over and one can stand at the bottom of the falls and one can only look up in awe at the wonders of nature. 

Montmorency Cable Car Gondola

Picture
We also get a chance to ride the cable car gondola from the station at the bottom of the falls to the Manoir Montmorency at the top of the mountain. The tour price includes the cable car ride. 

We will be having breakfast the Manoir on Sunday morning. 

The Ice Hotel (Hôtel de Glace)

You just have to experience the Ice Hotel for yourself and words are simply insufficient to describe it.

We will be visiting the Ice Hotel for a self-guided tour. Admission to the hotel as well as a cocktail drink from the ice bar is included as part of the tour price. This is a fabulous photo opportunity, do not forget your cameras!

Buffet Lunch at Buffet des Continents

Our last stop on our Quebec City tour will be our buffet lunch on Monday afternoon at Buffet des Continents, 

This buffet is famous for serving cuisine from different parts of the world and there is bound to be something for everyone's liking.
