Québec City and Île d’Orleans
June 21-24
Québec City, built on the banks of the St. Lawrence River at Cap Diamant, is one of the most historic and beautiful cities in North America. It is the continent’s only walled city, a fact that aided UNESCO’s 1985 decision to classify it as a prestigious world heritage site.
Let Travac Tours transport you on a four day, three-night holiday to this breathtaking capital of the province and enjoy a taste of Europe in your own backyard.
You will spend three nights at the fabulous Clarendon Hotel, in the centre of the old town. This 4 star hotel is an ideal base for exploring all the old city has to offer. A wonderful city, with a taste of Europe, that can be explored by foot.
