River cruise

The rivalry between Montreal and Quebec City needs no introduction. Yet, between the metropolis and the provincial capital, there’s everything a cyclist could want!

Over the course of these five days, you’ll have the chance to experience the best of both worlds, as well as the stunning places located between the province’s two largest cities.

Starting in Montreal, the St. Lawrence River will serve as your guide all the way to Quebec City, just as it guided the first French settlers who came to settle here.

You’ll pass through the fertile lands of Montérégie and Mauricie before the river opens up before you in the Québec City region, giving way to the famous Île d’Orléans, which you can explore on the fourth and final day of cycling.

 

In just five days, discover the province’s most popular route—far from the busy highways! Winding through picturesque villages and farmland, this cycling tour will give you a lovely glimpse of our beautiful province!
