POST-TRIP: “I was shocked how European the cities felt, particularly Quebec where everyone speaks French. I also expected blistering cold but we had endless sunshine! My favourite experience was Wendake, learning about the Indigenous community, and Parc Omega was amazing – I’ve always wanted to see bears. Montreal gave me mini-New York City vibes: lots of shops and beautiful streets, and Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth was one of my favourite hotels.”

POST-TRIP: “Wendake was fascinating, learning about Canada’s history. In Montreal, I walked up to Mount Royal and the views were amazing; a fun fact I learnt was that buildings in the city aren’t allowed to be built higher than this. Quebec City was picturesque and quaint, but I’d recommend not just sticking to the cities. You

POST-TRIP: “I loved the food – we tried deer, bison and elk, which you wouldn’t get anywhere else. Quebec City was beautiful, perfect for someone who’s been to Europe but wants that familiarity, and Montmorency Falls and Wendake are still easily accessible from the city. Parc Omega was my highlight, seeing all the animals, like deer and wolves, up close, and a little blonde bear who we all loved! It was great to see classic Canadian wildlife.”

POST-TRIP: “I studied a bit of French at school, so I loved the French culture and language in Quebec City. It was probably my favourite place, mainly for the architecture, although I didn’t expect it to be so hilly! The light show in Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica was great – you wouldn’t have even known it was happening but it was amazing inside; and in the Underground City, I didn’t expect there to be so many bars and cafes alongside the metro.”
