Quebec City Sample Itinerary

Stone Walls & Candlelit Conversation

Four days inside the oldest walled city in North America — where the streets are narrow, the winters are storied, and strangers become friends the way they always have: slowly, over a long table, with nowhere else to be.

Day 1: Arrive in Quebec City

  • Check-in to Auberge Saint-Antoine
    A 4-star boutique hotel in a 19th-century maritime warehouse. Stone walls, wide-plank floors, original artefacts in the lobby. Steps from the St. Lawrence. Every morning begins here — a locally inspired breakfast, strong coffee, the river out the window.
  • Welcome Gathering
    The group gathers for a welcome drink — Quebec whisky, local cider, first names, first impressions.
  • Dinner: Chez Muffy
    Duck confit, heritage grain, wild herbs. A candlelit room where nobody seems in a hurry to leave.

Day 2: Old Quebec on Foot

  • Private Guided Walk — Haute-Ville & Basse-Ville
    A local historian through Petit-Champlain, the Dufferin Terrace, the old city walls. Not a tour — a conversation. You'll stop for coffee somewhere you'd never find alone.
  • Evening: Candlelit Jazz
    Low ceilings, stone walls, candles in wine bottles. Last night's conversation picks up where it left off.
  • Dinner: Le Cercle
    Contemporary Quebec in a vaulted stone cellar. Seasonal menu, serious wine list, perfect noise level.

Day 3: The St. Lawrence & Sugar Country

  • Morning: Marché du Vieux-Port
    A local food guide through aged cheeses, wild mushroom preserves, and ice cider made from apples left to freeze on the branch.
  • Midday: Île d'Orléans
    An island in the St. Lawrence that feels like rural Quebec sixty years ago. Apple orchards, a cidery tasting, the river on both sides.
  • Afternoon: Artisan Sugar Shack
    Maple taffy over fresh snow. Dark syrup on buckwheat crêpes. Indulgent and grounding at once.
  • Dinner: Toast!
    Foie gras, scallops, venison in a warm candlelit room. The dinner where people start to say what they actually think.

Day 4: Jazz, Markets & A Free Evening

  • Morning: Saint-Jean-Baptiste Neighbourhood Walk
    Bookshops, artisan studios, vintage stores, the best coffee on the hill. Wander at your own pace.
  • Afternoon Leisure
    Spa, a gallery, or simply sitting somewhere with a glass of cider. No agenda.
  • Dinner: Independent Evening

Day 5: Farewell Morning

  • Breakfast
    Local cheese, strong coffee, the St. Lawrence out the window. Someone has already looked up when they can come back.
  • Morning Walk: Dufferin Terrace (optional, before checkout)
    The river below, the Château Frontenac above. The quiet conversations that happen on last mornings.
  • Checkout: 11:00am
    Private transfers to Jean Lesage Airport or Via Rail.

The city doesn't say goodbye — it just waits, knowing most people come back.

This journey is sold out.
