Overview

This tour is dedicated to North America’s history lovers and wants to honor 250 years of America’s history.

Old Québec is the perfect historic district to tell the story of our two nations. And 2025, the perfect moment to remind us of the historic events that shaped Canada and the U.S.A.

From colonial periods to the American Civil War, our 2 countries faced different political challenges and even waged war on one another.

The 18th century's French and Indian Wars and American Revolutionary War were the theater of high tensions between the then Province of Quebec and the 13 American Colonies.

However, the 1871 Treaty of Washington resolved all the claims and ended the conflicts between our two nations.

Now sharing the longest international border in the world, Canadians and Americans have been neighbors, friends and business partners for a long time.

Discover the common history of two nations in # 1 destination for history lovers in Canada.
