We begin the
day with a sightseeing tour of Montreal’s highlights; Mount Royal, lively
Saint-Catherine Street, Notre-Dame Cathedral and quaint old Montreal. In
the afternoon, we will take a fascinating guided cruise on the St. Lawrence
River. Sailing from the Old Port of Montreal to the Boucherville islands,
you will be carried away by the maritime history of the Metropolis.
Our first stop today is Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. For generations the local
artisans here have depicted French Canadian customs through sculptures
displayed throughout the village. We will visit the Woodcarving Interpretation
Centre and enjoy some time at leisure. Later we continued to Rivière-du-Loup on
the south shore of the St. Lawrence River for a 1-night stay.
On our guided city tour we see Place Royal, little
Champlain Quarter, the Plains of Abraham and more. In the afternoon we visit
the iconic Château Frontenac for a guided tour and a special lunch overlooking
the Saint Lawrence River. The rest of the day is free to explore Old Quebec’s
enchanting streets, historic buildings and views of the majestic St. Lawrence
River from the Governor’s Promenade.
