An International Adventure to Canada. Great country! Our neighbor to the North is wonderful any season of the year. There is so much history shared by the United States and our French speaking neighbors that you always feel welcome. Sure, most of the “Quebecois” (Quebecers, in English) speak French, but they also speak English, and they are a “happy people”, living life to its fullest, and you are going to share so much of their culture.
You will get a taste of Montreal and nearby Canada.....just enough so you will get to know the Province of Quebec, the people, the food, and their history, just enough so you will want to return , again and again. We will be learning much of the history starting with a dinner show that takes us back to the year 1691 and the colony of “New France”. Canada shares much of the early history of the United States so you feel right at home very quickly.

- There is no other city as charming as Quebec City in all of North America.
We know that this is a lot to say.....but you simply must visit. Quebec City is the only walled city left from the Colonial Days, and the history just sparkles from the days of the wars between the English and the French for the control of North America.
From the ramparts of Dufferin Terrace at the doors of the Hotel Frontenac, you can see the broad expanse of the St. Lawrence River spread out before you as it rolls to the Atlantic Ocean, almost 1,000 miles away. You can explore the “Citadel” the fortress that once guarded the river from attacks by just about everyone at one time or another.
You can hear the “clip-clop” of the horses on the narrow stone streets.....and you can ride in a caleche (carriage) and ponder the ancients who lived here. The food.....ah, yes, the wonderful, hearty French-Canadian cuisine. Simply elegant, in a country sort of way. Quebec City is home to the Parliament of the Province of Quebec, and every year the city seems to get friendlier and more hospitable. No, you don’t have to speak French to have a wonderful vacation.
