Hello, We enjoyed the tours. There were some well planned pauses on the way, to make sure everyone was comfortable. We had enough free time to roam around on our own. We chose to take the one and a half hour long cruise (please keep some warm clothes, in case you decide to stay on the deck, as it may be very cold on board). Finally, our guide Quan is very sympathetic and would not pressure the guests on time but will focus more on our safety. The Montmorency falls gives a mesmerizing view as we could use the newly built path to approach the waterfalls down (in case you choose not to use the cable car). And Richard (the guide in Quebec city) provided use with good tips & history of the city.

Hello,
We enjoyed the tours. There were some well planned pauses on the way, to make sure everyone was comfortable. We had enough free time to roam around on our own. We chose to take the one and a half hour long cruise (please keep some warm clothes, in case you decide to stay on the deck, as it may be very cold on board). Finally, our guide Quan is very sympathetic and would not pressure the guests on time but will focus more on our safety.
The Montmorency falls gives a mesmerizing view as we could use the newly built path to approach the waterfalls down (in case you choose not to use the cable car). And Richard (the guide in Quebec city) provided use with good tips & history of the city.
I recommend this tour!
Our tour guide, William, is very good with time management, and impressively speaks 4 languages.
The trip to Montmorency fall was short (no time for cable car), but it's sufficient to see the fall.
The walking city tour was okay; Annabel was good at explaining the history, but missed the Notre Dame Basilica (I had to ask).
Overall, this is well organized one day tour.
I recommend this tour!
Tour guide is nice and covered all the points. Services are also best
I recommend this tour!
It was immediately clear to me that the ticket price of 49 CAD would not cover all the costs. The bus was comfortable and the guide (Eric) very nice. I paid an additional 77 CAD cash for the cable cart to the waterfalls and for the cruise. I found it worthwile. Some people decided not to pay for that cable cart or not to participate in the cruise and that was fine as well. So these extras were "highly recommended" but no-one's arm was twisted. A great trip with enough free time to see the waterfalls and visit the city. I also quite enjoyed the cruise.
I recommend this tour!
Very good tour May and the local tour guide to Quebec City! Very fun and informative tours, beautiful city architecture and solid food. The bus itself was comfortable enough for the 2+ hour ride and I would consider taking this tour again. Five stars
