The trip was perfect from start with complimentary pick up from hotel in Montreal downtown. Very good bus driver and guide who had explained and shown us around. The quick brief intro tour of Quebec old city was very helpful when we were left on our own fir 2hours free time in the city. The Christmas decoration and snow made the December trip even more exciting but slightly chilly. Be prepared to warm up.

The tour was great. The tour agency picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel. Both the bus driver and tour guide were entertaining. Quebec’s Old Town was reminiscent of Europe and we had a great time walking the cobblestone roads, learning the history and enjoying shopping, food, and sightseeing of the château.

A must-have experience if you are in the area. The best way to park on the lower end of the falls and take the cable car up to the falls and walk across. The upper part has lots of food options and entertainment places. Worth every dollar spent.

Amazing guide and driver. Took their time to explain all important places. Would recommend the tour for all.

Excellent trip and guide but the bus was too old ..
