I did a little road trip last year, went from Montreal to Quebec City, checked out the Chute Montmorency on my way up to Tadoussac...It was an awesome trip.
Quebec city, is just gorgeous. The old port is amazing to walk around at night, the old architechure is beautifully lit up, great dining, amazing little alley ways full of street vendors selling art. There was this one old lady and her husband playing guitar, she was singing "La vie en rose" by Edith Piaf, which was so spot on - we just sat there for like an hour listening to her, was amazing.
Chutes were very cool too...huge waterfall, can walk across it and such...very neat little stop-over.
île d'Orléans is a little island close to that and we stopped at this little mom and pop place that makes their own apple cider, duck pate, dijon mustards and stuff...was an amazing afternoon.
Tadoussac was awesome for the whale watching, was a great couple of days there as well. Great food in the little port, and some very cool hiking trails and mountains that have spectacular views.
like a previous poster said, Quebec isn't as far east as you can go - but there is a LOT to do. i'm from montreal so I don't really do much tourism around here, but there is plenty to do in Montreal as well. July is the jazz fest which if your a fan of music - you have to check out. We just had Stevie Wonder do a free outdoor show to open the festival. Saw the Funk Brothers in a free show a few years back too.
Anyway, thats my little tourism advice
