You don’t need to cross the Atlantic Ocean to experience authentic European Christmas markets! Embark on this festive adventure without leaving North America! Join us on a 3-day bus tour from Toronto to Quebec City for an enchanting Christmas Markets experience.

Begin your day with a captivating city tour led by a local guide in period costume, blending a narrated bus ride with a charming walking tour through Old Québec’s historic streets. The tour concludes in the heart of Old Town, where you’ll have time to explore and enjoy lunch on your own from a tempting array of cafés and bistros. In the afternoon, join another costumed guide for an escorted stroll to explore the Christmas Markets — savoring traditional German treats included with the tour as you learn about the market’s European roots, then enjoy free time to soak up the festive magic and uncover hidden holiday treasures.

On our return trip back to Toronto we visit a traditional Quebecois sugar shack where rustic charm meets hearty tradition! This lively cabane à sucre invites guests to feast on a classic maple-infused meal: golden syrup drizzled over pancakes, sizzling sausages, baked beans and tourtière straight from the oven. Laughter fills the log cabin as local musicians strike up folk tunes, and to top it all off, everyone heads outdoors to roll maple taffy on snow — a sweet finale to an unforgettable sugar shack celebration!

Prepare to be enchanted by the holiday magic of Quebec, where cherished memories and unique gifts await. Return home with heartwarming experiences and a bounty of festive delights to share with loved ones, making this Christmas season truly unforgettable.
