Day One: Welcome to Montréal!
Arrive at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, where your fabulous hosts will be waiting to whisk you into the heart of Old Montréal. As the city comes into view — its church spires rising above cobblestone streets and centuries-old stone facades — you’ll feel the shift from ordinary travel to something altogether different.
Your boutique hotel sits right in the soul of Old Montréal, a beautifully restored property where exposed stone walls and intimate details nod to the neighborhood’s 17th-century roots, while every modern comfort has been quietly tucked in around them. It’s the kind of place that feels like a discovery rather than a reservation.
After you’ve settled in and freshened up, we’ll take a short stroll to a local favorite restaurant for our welcome dinner. Nestled inside a breathtaking neoclassical space, this elegant dining experience combines refined French cuisine with a lively Montréal atmosphere — the perfect setting to meet your fellow travelers and raise a glass to the adventure ahead.
Highlights
- Airport Pickup: A private car meets you at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport for a seamless arrival into Old Montréal.
- Boutique Hotel Check-In: Settle into a stunning historic property in the heart of Old Montréal — architecture, character, and comfort all under one roof.
- Welcome Dinner in Old Montréal: Enjoy an unforgettable evening of incredible cuisine, beautiful surroundings, and wonderful conversation at one of Montréal’s beloved local favorites.
Fun Fact: Montréal is the second-largest French-speaking city in the world — second only to Paris — making it the only place in North America where you can fully immerse yourself in French culture, cuisine, and language without ever crossing the Atlantic.
Day Three: Culture, Cuisine & A Spectacular Light Show
Morning begins with a leisurely breakfast before we set out for one of the most anticipated days of the trip. It’s a short walk to the breathtaking Notre-Dame Basilica — one of Montréal’s most iconic landmarks and a true masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture. Your guided tour will take you through its intricate hand-carved wood details, luminous stained-glass windows, and the kind of history that stops you in your tracks.
From there, we make our way to La Grande Roue de Montréal, Canada’s tallest observation wheel. As you rise above the city, the skyline, the St. Lawrence River, and the sweep of the surrounding landscape unfold in every direction — a perspective of Montréal that very few visitors ever get.
The afternoon belongs to the senses. We head to Jean-Talon Market and Little Italy for a guided culinary tour through one of the largest public markets in North America. Fresh produce, artisanal bites, local flavors — this is Montréal the way locals actually experience it, and it never disappoints.
After a flavorful afternoon, you’ll have time back at the property to rest and refresh before the evening ahead.
As dusk settles over Old Montréal, we return to Notre-Dame Basilica for the AURA night show — an immersive light and sound experience that transforms the entire interior of the basilica into something otherworldly. It’s one of those rare moments that’s simply impossible to describe until you’ve seen it yourself.
We’ll close the night with a stroll to Le Petit Dep, a charming local café and boutique just steps away, for a nightcap dessert — the sweetest possible ending to an extraordinary day.
Highlights
- Breakfast: A leisurely included breakfast to start the day right.
- Notre-Dame Basilica Tour: A guided walk through one of the most stunning Gothic Revival interiors in the world.
- La Grande Roue de Montréal: Sweeping panoramic views from Canada’s tallest observation wheel.

Fun Fact: Notre-Dame Basilica took over 30 years to complete and was, at the time of its consecration in 1829, the largest church in North America — designed by a Protestant Irish-American architect who had never set foot in Montréal when he won the commission.
Day Four: Journey to Québec City & Château Charm
Morning begins with a final breakfast before we gather and make our way to our private coach. As you step out of Hôtel William Gray, you’ll already understand why this property has earned its reputation as one of Canada’s finest boutique hotels. Two 18th-century merchant homes connected by a soaring eight-story glass tower, with interiors that blend original stone walls and cathedral ceilings with contemporary artwork by local artists — it’s a place that stays with you long after checkout.
We board our private coach for the scenic journey to Québec City, watching the landscape shift from urban skyline to the rolling St. Lawrence River Valley. It’s the kind of ride that reminds you travel itself can be part of the experience.
Upon arrival in Québec City, the magic only gets better as we check into the legendary Fairmont Le Château Frontenac — one of the most iconic hotels in the world and a true castle-like landmark rising above Old Québec. Perched dramatically atop Cap Diamant with sweeping views over the St. Lawrence River, this historic hotel has welcomed travelers since 1893 and feels like stepping into another era. With its grand architecture, storybook towers, elegant interiors, and unbeatable location in the heart of Old Québec, your stay here becomes so much more than a hotel night. It becomes one of the signature experiences of the entire trip.
Then comes a highlight few travelers ever get: a private guided tour of the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Your private tour begins at the Au 1884 kiosk on Dufferin Terrace, taking you through the Château’s legendary history, its celebrated guests, and the architectural details that have made it a symbol of the entire region — without the crowds, and entirely on your own terms.
After the tour, you’ll have time to unwind with optional happy hour drinks before we head out for a cozy dinner at one of Québec City’s beloved local restaurants. With warm ambiance, delicious Italian-inspired cuisine, and the charm of Old Québec all around us, it’s the perfect setting to relax, laugh, and reflect on another beautiful day together.

Morning begins with a leisurely breakfast before we set out to explore one of the most captivating cities in North America at our own pace.

Hop off wherever catches your eye, linger as long as you like, and rejoin when you’re ready. There’s no wrong way to spend a morning here.
After the tour, you’ll have time to return, rest, and refresh before the afternoon’s main event.
As the day deepens, we head out for the Old Quebec City Food Tour — one of the true highlights of this trip. Led by local experts who know every corner of this UNESCO World Heritage city, you’ll wind through centuries-old streets sampling the bold, distinct flavors of Québécois cuisine.
