Quebec City Christmas Markets

Join us on an enchanting journey to Quebec City for the annual Christmas Markets!

These markets captivate the city with their intricate decor and vibrant lights, designed to evoke the charm of the famed European markets. On this tour we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour with a costumed guide in period attire who will delve into Christmases of the past as we meander through Old Quebec City and Petit Champlain. We’ll also indulge in local flavours at a traditional French restaurant for an included lunch with the group. On this tour you will have plenty of free time to explore the famous Christmas Markets, boutiques, and attractions at your own pace, including the Onwha Lumina night walk. We’ll stay 3 nights at the Historic Fairmont Chateau Frontenac, nestled in Old Quebec City, which includes an incredible buffet breakfast daily. There is no better place to experience holiday magic than in this historic city.

Note: This is an active tour with lots of walking. Quebec City has many cobblestone streets and hills, so it is not recommended for anyone with mobility constraints.
