Preparing For Your Trip
When I look forย things to doย in my destination, I always have a look atย Viator, GetYourGuide, Manawa, Civitatis and sometimes evenย Expedia.
Itโs first off a great way to find out what there is to do, but always a quick and easy method to book cheaply and efficiently with these renowned platforms.
Need a place to sleep?ย I find most of my accommodations onย Booking.com,ย but I also useย Hotels.comย for their rewards program (11thย free night) as well asย Expedia. When booking smaller places in Quebec, you might not find them here and you’llneed to contact them directly to book.
Looking for aย cheap flightย to the Laurentians through Montreal? Have a look onย Cheapoair orย Skyscanner I use regularly.
Once youโre there,ย rent a carย to roam free withย AutoEurope orย RentalCars orย hop on a busย around Montreal, Quebec and surrounding cities withย Busbud.
