Jewish Singles Vacations Canada Trip Itinerary Highlights |
| August 1 | Arrival in Montreal. If you need assistance in arranging your transportation to Montreal, we will be glad to help you. Since tour members will arrive at different times, it is not practical to arrange a group transfer from the Montreal airport or bus station. Taxi services are available at nominal cost. The tour begins at the hotel. Meet your tour manager and fellow tour members at a 4:00 P.M. orientation followed by a city tour of Montreal. This evening there will be a group dinner (optional). |

This historic garden, with more than 2,000 plants, trees and shrubs, is one of Quebec's leading tourist attractions.
