The best of both worlds! An historic Old Québec tour, the first North American city to be included on UNESCO's prestigious world heritage list, and a lunch cruise on the majestic St. Lawrence River. Transfer from the hotel on motor coach to the dock - jump on board the river boat for a lunch cruise (2-course group menu: main course, dessert, tea/coffee/one glass of wine our beer). This excursion is a rendezvous with history and a simple lesson in geography. Feel the breeze and admire the landscape - cruise duration 1.5 hour.
