The best of all the Canadian tour I had. Quebec is beautiful city. Montreal is nice too. What an awesome sceneries at Ausable Chasm -last places we visited. Our tour guide Kit was very knowledgeable of the places we visited.
I recommend this tour!
Fantastic experience, everything was great, but out of everything else, Quebec was exceptionally b-e-a-utiful! Kit was an amazing tour guide, he speaks perfect English and is a lot of fun to be with!
It's not easy to cover all the sights in 3 days, but Kit did his best, even though for some sights it would be better to have more time. Food arrangements were also not the best, but this is quite typical for this kind of tours given the fact that you don't have much time and thus need to eat cheap and fast.
