A Magical Holiday Journey Through Old-World Charm and Festive Cheer
Step into a winter wonderland in Québec City, where twinkling lights, cobblestone streets, and joyful Christmas markets bring the holiday spirit to life. Experience the European-style Christmas markets you remember from years gone by—hand-crafted wooden toys, ornaments, local artisan gifts, and the warm aroma of mulled wine and gingerbread filling the air. Hear the music of carolers, brass bands, and horse-drawn wagons as snow gently falls across beautifully decorated town squares lined with glowing Christmas trees.
Savor bratwurst, pretzels, and sweet treats while sipping a comforting cup of hot chocolate. The warmth of the season surrounds you on this nostalgic, small-group holiday tour.
