Quebec City and Halifax Roundtrip from Montreal

Roundtrip VIA Rail trip from Montreal to Quebec City and Halifax

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package that begins and ends in Montreal. Travelers ride VIA Rail on a scenic journey to Quebec City, where two full days are set aside to see the city's popular and historic sights. From Quebec City, VIA Rail continues overnight, a journey the operator describes as especially picturesque, arriving in Halifax for two more full days in what the package calls a charming, seaside city. The roundtrip then returns to Montreal by train. Because this is an independent rail package rather than a guided tour, travelers explore each stop at their own pace. It suits travelers who want a round trip, multi-city rail journey through French Canadian and Maritime Canada without joining an escorted group.
