Quebec, Independent City, was a super fun, super educational experience. Quebec had been on my "bucket list" for a while and it did not disappoint. Be sure to tackle "Champlain's Dream" if you can for much helpful background on the settling of the city. If you have an extra day or two, stay longer and continue your exploration of the city!

Quebec City is a gem. It's compact and easy to get around by foot. The four full days were just enough to give a good feel for the city and its history. The Canadian people are absolutely terrific.

For us, this Road Scholar trip was a perfect blend of morning learning and afternoon free time. Expert guides offered deep dives into the history and culture of the city. We enjoyed some delicious meals, got great photos, and proved to ourselves that we could keep up the pace in a hilly city.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Independent City Discoveries Quebec trip. If you'd like to experience a historic European atmosphere without traveling across the Atlantic, this is the place for you. We highly recommend!The program was well organized; our program leader, Sylvie, was terrific; the hotel is in a great location; and old Quebec is just beautiful in summer. It's a very hilly city, so be prepared to walk up and down steep streets.

This was my first RS trip and it was excellent. Our group leader, Julie, was very knowledgeable, attentive, and a lot of fun. The additional two tour guides, Marie and Jim, were very good, entertaining and again, extremely knowledgeable of the history, local customs, and lots of other fun facts about Quebec. Because this was a short trip (5) days, we had one lecture on the overall history of Quebec and two guided tours. This was perfect. Also, the "independent" part was a perfect balance between tours and free time. Quebec is a beautiful city and easy to walk, although there are many steep hills. The taxes are high so be prepared for spending a bit more when dining out or making other purchases.
The restaurants chosen for our group lunches and dinners were very good, much to my delight. Our group size was 24 and never seemed overwhelming. We had a great mix of participants, some who had been on 7+ RS trips and a lot of first timers.
Overall I'm very impressed with RS and planning my next trip.

This trip was fantastic thanks to the program and the efficient, kind, and warm facilitation by Julie! I learned so much from Marie’s informative session. Engaging was the workshop of traditional music by Capucine and Martin – loved the spoons! Charlotte’s Louise Penny tour had just the right amount of walking and info. Tour of the Governor General’s quarters was fascinating. Inuit art at the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec was stunning and thought provoking. Re-Cueillir at the Augustine Monastery was an astonishing heart touching discovery – one of my favorite experiences of the trip (would like a silent breakfast there). Loved seeing the museum and learning about the Ursulines and their work for the education of girls. The adventure to Ille D’Orleans was a lovely introduction to that history with the benefit of delicious cider tasting at Cidrerie Cerger Bilodeau – trip made complete with Jim’s insightful commentary. Of course, the food was tremendous at each restaurant: Chez Paillard, Le Chateau Frontenac, Hortus, Hotel Manoir Victoria. It was challenging in a good way to run out each morning and order a take out breakfast to bring back to my husband. But in the end, I come back to Julie. Julie is the one who made everything run on time, worked out any glitches, and made us feel welcomed to Quebec City. In my opinion the success starts with the leadership at the top and Julie was fantastic.

The Quebec City tour was exceptionally enjoyable. Our group leader, Sylvie, was a delight to be with and was a wealth of information. Accommodations, meals and tours provided were excellent, I couldn’t have made better choices if left to my own planning. The balance of organized activities and free time was perfect and the other tour participants a pleasure to spend time with. Don’t hesitate, book it!

We read that being in Quebec City was like being in France, and that was true! So much French culture and food (although nearly everyone also speaks English). The two bakeries within a couple-minute walk from the hotel were amazing! Lots of history. Beautiful views of the river. Bring your walking shoes (and legs) for the hills and stairs.

This was our first trip with Road Scholar and we loved it. The independent study is probably what we will look for again as we like the free time to relax and explore at our leisure. Our guide, Marie, was warm, professional, and very informative. We were taken to such interesting places, many of which we would most likely not have discovered on our own.
— Review left June 23, 2023
An interesting and well-done program. I learned a lot about the history of Quebec beginning with the First Nations to the present day. The optional museum visits provided even more context to the program. The provided meals were excellent, the lectures were well-prepared and presented. The tour leader was very knowledgeable, prepared, and approachable. I highly recommend this program.

We greatly enjoyed our first Road Scholar adventure exploring the uniquely European atmosphere and culture of Québec City. Our group's leader, Sylive Nadeau, was engaging, informative and a wonderful host. She was attentive to our needs and has a great sense of humor. We can’t thank her enough for a fascinating introduction to Québec's history, architecture and spectacular geography.
We especially enjoyed our walking field trips with local experts Marie Legroulx and Andrée Girard to learn about the city’s architecture and culture; performances of traditional Québec music by local musicians; and our visits to the Île d'Orléans, le Monastère des Augustiness and the Governor General of Canada’s residence, and exploring the Basse Ville and Petit Champlain on our own. We’ll definitely be back for another visit.

Road Scholar tours is a fabulous way to travel. The tour directors are terrific as leaders, instructors, and organizers. They also create a very friendly, social environment for all the travelers. As a single woman traveler, I have enjoyed traveling with Road Scholar where everyone is upbeat; and when it comes to "dining on your own," it is easy to find other RS travelers to join you. I highly recommend Road Scholar tours.
