Thoughts:
COLD! But bundle up and you’ll be fine (we wore 6 layers). Amazingly friendly people. LOVED Quebec City, didn’t love Montreal, but would give it another go in the summer (and not during a Covid lockdown). Dogsledding was an amazing experience, but way more physically challenging and difficult than we realized (legs got all bruised up.
But glad we did it-once!)
