Hailed as the most French city outside of France, Québec is a spectacle of charm and character. On this panoramic drive, view the Old Town's historic landmarks and journey along the St-Lawrence River to view the spectacular Montmorency Falls.
Place-Royale is a beautifully-restored market square with typical 17th- and 18th-century stone architecture. Nearby, you'll see the oldest standing catholic church in North America — Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.
National Battlefields Park, also known as the Plains of Abraham, is where the French surrendered to the British in 1759. Take photos from Cap Diamant.
Your route will take you along the Grande-Allée — Québec's shopping street lined with quaint shops, sidewalk cafés, and boutiques — to the Hôtel du Parlement. This imposing Second Empire-style building overlooks the city.
Pass through some beautiful pastoral landscapes in Quebec's countryside to the bottom of Montmorency Falls. See the powerful forces of nature at work as the water of the Montmorency River roars down the cliff to eventually meet with the St-Lawrence River.
Notes:
This tour is available only to guests whose cruise begins in Québec. The pick-up location for all participants is Chateau Frontenac, located at 1 Rue des Carrières, Québec QC G1R 5J5.

The Chateau Frontenac is the only pick-up point for this tour; there are no additional pick-up points. If you are staying elsewhere, you are responsible for making your own way to the hotel with your luggage, at your own expense.
