Glide under the towering arches of historic bridges, just feet from the water, while your guide shares the dramatic stories and tragedies linked to these structures.

Stop 3
As you round the bend, Old Quebec unfolds before you in a breathtaking panorama. The Château Frontenac crowns the cliffs, city walls cascade to the river, and the entire cityscape reveals its storied past. From the water, Quebec’s scale and history come alive like nowhere else.

Stand beneath the iconic Château Frontenac, perched 98 meters above the river. From the water, it appears as a fortress carved from the same ambition as the cliffs, overwhelming and majestic.

Enter Bassin Louise, a historic harbor built between 1879 and 1890 to shelter Quebec City’s timber ships. Imagine the bustling port during its golden age, when ships from across the Atlantic brought wealth and stories to this gateway of North America.

Explore Île d'Orléans, a 34-kilometer island that’s the birthplace of French Canada. See the land where explorers first arrived in 1535, and where the roots of Quebec still run deep in the land, stone walls, and churches.
