Built in 1886, Hotel Bonaparte is a historic gem in the centre of Old Montreal. The city’s bustling shops, restaurants, and museums are close by. Gaze out over cobblestone streets, church spires, and pretty gardens from one of the beautifully appointed guestrooms.
Located in the heart of Québec City’s Old Port, the Auberge Saint-Antoine is close to the fortifications, museums, and bustling streets of the Petit Champlain district. Discover the archaeological artifacts on display in the hotel’s common areas, or taste farm-to-table cuisine at the restaurant.
Said to be the world’s most photographed hotel, the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac is an iconic landmark that overlooks the St. Lawrence River and Old Québec City. Experience the hotel’s enchanting history on a guided tour, then unwind with a relaxing spa treatment.
Here are some of the most popular ways to personalize this journey.
Just a short drive from Quebec City is the Charlevoix region — a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The region boasts an array of exciting experiences: farm-to-table cuisine, art galleries, whale watching, hiking, biking, and more. We can arrange a day tour or a multi-day excursion depending on your timeframe.
Exploring with friends and family is the best way to create lasting memories and reconnect. Organizing once-in-a-lifetime trips for families and small groups of friends is a particular passion for us. Ask us about how our itineraries can be customized to work for your group.
Pay a visit to beautiful Prince Edward Island, home of red sandy beaches, great seafood, picturesque farms and - of course - Anne of Green Gables. We can include a car rental, or transfers with guided experiences.
For the days you're not onboard the train, ask us about adding a car rental and exploring on your own. We'll provide points of interest, admission to attractions, and information on all the best places to visit along the way.
