Ottawa's Otrain
Get acquainted with Ottawa as you explore the city. Venture past the Prime Ministerʼs residence, multiple embassies, and the impressive National Art Gallery. Youʼll also see the Gothic parliament buildings and the Rideau Canal—which becomes the worldʼs largest skating rink in wintertime. The remainder of the day is yours to do as you please. (B)
Say bonjour to Quebec City, the heart of Canadaʼs French heritage. Enjoy free time in the late afternoon to explore the Old Town (UNESCO), strolling along picturesque cobblestone streets and 17th-century buildings. Sample local cuisine at a restaurant on Ile dʼOrleans, a farmland island on the Saint Lawrence River. (B, D)
This morning, itʼs your choice! Join a local guide and stroll the streets of Old Quebec City on foot; see the Place Royale and listen to stories of days gone by in historic squares–or–embark on a panoramic coach tour to experience the beauty and history of both Old and New Quebec; youʼll see the stately Chateau Frontenac, the provincial Parliament, and the St. Louis Arch. Enjoy an evening at leisure. (B)

Next, arrive at Montmorency Falls and marvel at this natural wonder that plunges 272 feet off the Canadian Shield, approximately 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls.

The evening is yours to continue exploring the city independently. (B)
