Québec, Montréal & Ottawa
Our A+ Tour collection features exclusive educational programming and immersive experiences that you can only get through EF–they are rated exceptionally high by educators who travel with us.
Discover the heart of French Canada on a tour that promises to be as culturally enriching as it is impressively picturesque. Just outside Ottawa, immerse yourself in the Indigenous Experience at Mādahòkì Farm, where the traditions and stories of the First Nations come to life amidst the beauty of our shared Canadian landscape. Marvel at the architectural splendour of Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica, a beacon of history and artistry whose completion beat the founding of its country by two years, in 1865. Savour the sweetness of Québecois hospitality with dinner at a traditional sugar shack, where the rich flavours of maple syrup infuse every dish. Stroll along the iconic boardwalk near Château Frontenac, soaking in the panoramic views and the charming ambiance of Québec City. This journey through some of Canada’s favourite cities is an invitation to explore, learn, and create memories with friends and colleagues that will last a lifetime.
