As the cradle of French civilization in North America, the language, culture, and history of Québec City are what make our country unique. Our Guides help students to appreciate Québécois history, geography, and its current role in the Canadian family, while restaurants introduce students to the unique taste of French Canadian cuisine, both traditional and modern.
The 10,000 students travelling annually with us to Québec City gain an unforgettable experience that will contribute to their becoming better informed, and hopefully, more involved citizens. The following are suggested itineraries. We also offer three and five-day tours of Québec City, and a four-day combined tour that includes Montréal or Mount Ste-Anne.
