Canada Tours in Winter

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!

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.

The whole tour was magical! The snow set the scene for strolling through the markets with gluhwein and delicious food. Walking through the towns all lit up with beautiful Christmas lights and displays was equally festive. I thoroughly enjoyed creating our own tasty Yule log and the icing on the cake for me was the maple syrup farm. There we had a traditional breakfast and made maple candy on a board of snow. Thankful for the variety of maple products in their gift shop. The chunky maple sugar cubes are the best. A new found favorite for coffee, tea or just eating by themselves. What a treat!! Oh, and maple cream cookies….THE BEST!

This trip was wonderful. I didn’t have to worry about anything at all since Charlie took care of booking and planning everything. It made the entire trip stress-free and more enjoyable. Visiting Banff was my favorite part of the trip. It reminded me of my home back in Europe!

This was my first international trip ever and honestly I still can’t believe I actually did it. 5 continents in less than a month, how crazy is that? I never thought I’d be able to see places like the Pyramids in Egypt or go on a real safari in South Africa or stand on the Great Wall of China. It’s stuff you see in movies or books, and now I’ve been there in real life. I was nervous at first, since I’ve never even flown internationally before, but the whole thing was well placed. Pre services of Inuds Team like time to time updating us if there were any changes or clarifying our doubts and ensuring smooth on ground operations have been commendable. The hotels were way better than I expected with nice breakfast. We had group tours most days but also some leisure time, which I liked a lot. I used that time to explore local markets or just relax depending on how tired I felt. The safari in Kruger National Park was probably my favorite part. We saw elephants, lions, even rhinos. Egypt was mind-blowing too. Dont even get me started on the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall… I took so many photos I had to buy extra storage! If you’re someone who wants to see the world but doesn’t want to plan everything on your own, this tour is perfect. You just show up and everything is taken care of. Can’t recommend this enough!

CharlieTheTraveler was a great company to travel to Canada with. We felt well accompanied, everything was well organized. Once we arrived, we did not have any issue whatsoever. Whenever we had questions, Charlie and our concierge were wonderful at assisting us. I highly recommend!
