Days 1 & 2
Step into Québec City and it feels like you’ve walked straight into a snow globe. Cobblestone streets, twinkling lights, and the scent of maple sweetness drifting through the air set the tone the moment you arrive. After settling into our perfectly located hotel — right in the heart of Old Québec — we’ll gather for a warm and welcoming dinner. Think comfort food, candlelight, and that instant spark of “this is going to be such a good weekend.” Afterward, wander the lantern‑lit streets of Petit‑Champlain, where every corner looks like it was designed for holiday postcards.
On day two we dive into Old Québec with a guided walking tour that brings the city’s French‑Canadian charm to life — historic plazas, stone fortifications, and winding streets that feel like Europe. Then the magic ramps up: the Christmas Markets. Wooden stalls, mulled drinks, warm pastries, handmade gifts, and that festive hum that only happens this time of year. You’ll have time to explore, taste, shop, and follow whatever catches your eye. Expect small seasonal treats along the way — little surprises to keep the holiday spirit buzzing.
Typical accommodations (3 nights in Old Quebec City): Hôtel Champlain Vieux‑Québec or similar
Soak, Stroll, and Savor the Season
Day 3
Soak in those slow morning moments with a warm drink — maybe a cozy café latte, a Christmas hot chocolate, or a simple cup of tea — and take a few minutes to watch the snow drift past the rooftops. It’s the kind of easy, unhurried start that feels like a true winter getaway.
This morning we head to our Nordic spa sanctuary, where steaming pools meet crisp winter air and everything feels a little unreal in the best way. It’s the perfect place to soothe away any lingering stress, sink into the warmth, and just let yourself fully relax. Snowflakes melt on your skin, the forest is quiet around you, and the hot‑cold‑hot rhythm leaves you glowing and refreshed — the kind of reset you can feel in your whole body.
By midday, we return to Old Québec, and you’ll have a little free time to make the afternoon your own. If you’re feeling active, lace up for a festive skate at Place D’Youville’s outdoor rink, complete with twinkle lights and winter charm. Prefer something indoors and cozy? Explore one of Québec City’s Sunday‑open museums — the Musée de la Civilisation or MNBAQ are both fantastic options. Or wander into a warm café or bakery for a slow, sweet afternoon treat. (Optional activities, not hosted.)
Twinkle lights flicker on as dusk settles, the scent of maple and woodsmoke drifts through the streets, and the holiday charm wraps around you one last time. This evening is yours — a final cozy dinner, a nighttime stroll through Petit‑Champlain, or a last wander through the Christmas Market as the lights shimmer overhead.

Guest Testimonial
Meg - Christmas Markets
I recently joined Amanda on my first trip to see the Christmas markets! From the moment I spoke with Amanda on the phone I knew she was the women I wanted to travel with as my guide. I was on an all women’s trip where I instantly made life long friends (I am actually crying as I write this). Amanda went out of her way to accommodate me as a solo traveler! She had all our tours and cooking classes organized so all I had to do was enjoy! Hotels were great and our meals delicious! Amanda made sure we had free time to explore on our own which was appreciated! She was gracious and delightful and the group has already begun plans to join our fearless leader on yet another adventure! Kudos to you Amanda on a trip that went off without a hitch! ~ Meg
