Top Highlights

  • Vieux-MontréalEight days through francophone Canada, ending where the St Lawrence is wide enough that belugas live in it.
  • Notre-Dame BasilicaMont Royal was laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also did Central Park, and he deliberately left the mountain rough.
  • Château FrontenacQuebec is the only city north of Mexico that still has its fortifications, which is why the old town is a World Heritage site.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Solid operator.
