The food was delicious and staff were great. I was dining alone and it would have been nice to be seated at a table with other solo travelers.

Visited a maple farm and did lots of tasting, then went to Montmorency Falls. We did not have enough time to enjoy the Fall. If I go back I will do a walking tour of Old Quebec.

My harbor cruise excursion was cancelled. $20 for a 30 minute horse drawn carriage tour. It was interesting and Cow’s Ice Cream did not disappoint.

The drive through Acadia National Park was beautiful, although the tour guide was not that great. The lobster lunch made up for it.

Not a lot to see/do unless you take a lengthy excursion with lots of driving. The port area is nice to wander around and there’s a nice boardwalk.
