Canada Cultural Journey
Don’t want to fly cross the ocean to experience Europe? Quebec is the answer! Canada’s largest province is also its’ most multicultural, mixing the old-world and the new-world, French with English, tradition and change. People from every walk of life can be found in Quebec, and the province boasts a multi-faceted geography, gorgeous landscapes and a diverse climate. Four very distinct seasons put their stamp on this vast territory, and no matter what time of year you come, this friendly, romantic province is full of festivals and appeal.
Cultural Journeys

We rely on the expertise of our local staff to plan itineraries which not only explore the prominent sites but also make time for the lesser-known local gems and are intentional about regular interaction with local people.
