Quebec to the Maritimes  6 Incredible Days
Montreal - Quebec City -
Halifax    Trains Depart Montreal  Daily  (except Sunday) (tourBW035)


Day 1
  After arriving in the great cosmopolitan city of Montreal you have the evening to sample Montreal's cuisine or famous nightlife.  You will think you are in Europe as you are in the second largest French speaking city in the World! 
We can arrange train transportation from Toronto to Montreal for those who wish to start in Toronto.
  Day 2  Enjoy a great morning sightseeing tour of Montreal and then some free time in the afternoon for shopping or strolling the streets of Montreal.  Early evening you board VIA #1 for the train ride to Charny, Quebec.  Enjoy VIA meal service en route and watch the Quebec scenery roll by. 

Day 3  In the morning a tour of Canada's fortified city is provided.  Quebec city is a Unesco World Heritage Sight and is the only walled city in North America.  History abounds here including the Plains of Abraham where the fate of North America was decided by generals Wolf and Montcalm more than 3 centuries ago.  Sample the 3-D 'Quebec Experience followed by free time to visit Old Town and the quaint alleys and streets.  Late evening board VIA Rail and check into your comfortable bedroom for service to the East Coast. 

Day 4  Arrive in lovely Halifax in the late afternoon and transfer to your hotel.  Have some free time and possibly visit the Titanic cemetery, sight of the massive First World War explosion and other historic sights.  The harbor here extends 26 kilometers (16 miles) inland.  Take a double decker bus, visit art galleries or Discovery Center.  Can we recommend Atlantic lobster, caught fresh nearby, for dinner this evening.

Day 5  A wonderful sightseeing excursion today includes the National Citadel Hill, Point Pleasant Park, and Bedford Basin.  The afternoon is free to explore the city's harborfront and shopping districts.
