Anonymous | Traveled in January
Enjoyed the trip, loved the festive setting with snow and Christmas festivities. Quebec City had some lovely shops and restaurants, enjoyed the french influence and Canadian French people. Montreal was a lot more urban but enjoyed the market there and ventured over to the mall for indoor shopping. We took a uber and went to some more shopping locations than were on the itinerary. The Christmas markets were small so it didnt take much time, but we found some nice downtown shops to walk to and restaurants to enjoy lattes and pasteries. It was a great trip!

We throughly enjoyed our trip to the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec. It was cold and windy a few of the days, but that is to be expected in Canada in December. We chose to drive from southern Mass, and it was an easy drive, even though it snowed most of the way. Our tour took us around the cities of each place, and pointed out the highlights of each. We then visited the Christmas Markets in each city. Quebec City was our favorite. The markets there were the best, as were the stores. Chateau Frontenac was beautiful and a must in Quebec City. Bernadette was a great tour manager finding great bus stops and keeping us entertained on the bus. We enjoy the restaurants chosen for dinner, as well as the two excursion; the 'Yule log' making and the breakfast in the sugar shack. Very enjoyable!

The tour was wonderful. Included excursions were exciting and thoroughly enjoyable. I especially loved the final group dinner at the Eifel Tower. It was such a unique and special experience. I also loved the tour of the bakery in Paris. The baker was so interesting and very engaging. That experience was a truly special and unique opportunity for all of us. I also loved the time we had in Oxford. Optional excursions were unique and worth every penny, especially the Cabaret show. Our tour manager, Harrison, was incredible. He was well organized, always provided clear instructions and expectations, had answers for all our questions and never lost track of anyone in our rather large group. His email of our itinerary details including nearby restaurants and near and far away interests were VERY helpful. All local guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. as well

I enjoyed the entire experience. My favorite was Pompeii. The weather is comfortable at that time of year. The tour activities were planned appropriately. The tour manager was outstanding!

All the activities were very enjoyable - the visit to the Albert Giles Copper Studio making a Christmas ornament, decorating a Yule log at Madame Germain’s, and a visit to the Sugar Shack where we got a taste of winter weather with quite a bit of snow. Hotel accommodations were top notch. Shopping in Old Quebec City was a fun experience with many unique local shops. The Christmas markets were very crowded but still interesting.

Paolo was amazing especially when one of the girls had her passport taken from her safe in her room-he helped her get what she could get done and then she went to Florence with us -- walking tours were a little long but all was good
