A Worthwhile Afternoon - A very pleasant afternoon. Our driver/guide Francois was knowledgeable and pleasant. Ste. Anne's is a magnificent cathedral and we happened in on the tail end of a communion service so we got to hear some beautiful organ music. The copper art museum was very interesting, especially because of the demo/introduction by the owner and chief artist. Two issues you might want to know... 1) The tour was scheduled as 1-5 pm. But we didn't get back until a little after 6. Some people were consistently late in getting back to the bus so it took a lot longer at each stop. 2) This summer (2025) the parking lot at Montmorency Falls is under construction so the bus could not stop at the top. We had to drive to the bottom and the bus stayed there. If we wanted to go to the top we had to take the cable car. My husband and I elected to stay at the bottom but we got a great view anyway.

I was disappointed with... - I was disappointed with the Chocolate Factory stop. This was no tour, just an opportunity to buy candy.😢
The rest of the tour was great.

Sitting upstairs on the... - Sitting upstairs on the bus gave better views, but the stairs may be difficult for some. We got to see more of the Ile de Orleans than I was expecting, which was great.

Excellent trip, poor air conditioning. - This was a fabulous and informative tour and well worth taking. The driver was entertaining and gave a ch on name get to what we were seeing. The reason I am giving a 4 and not a 5 is the insufficient air conditioning. The bus was just too warm and not circulated enough.

Visit - We had a very good time, a very nice afternoon visiting a chocolate factory in L'Île d'Orléans, then a steel museum and Ste Anne de Beaupré, to finish with Montmorency Falls. The only thing is that on the bus, during the journey, we do not always hear clearly the description of attractions.

Be ready to walk - This tour gets you out of the city. Nice to see the countryside. General info shared. Don’t know guide/drivers name. Was pleasant. Lots of walking. Those are both mobility issues beware.

Limited Tour of Montmorency Falls - Some interesting stops, decent information from the guide while on the bus. Too many lame jokes and he never got off the bus with us. I also don't like coming into a bus that smells like they were smoking while we were off. Also, the time spent at the falls, as in the name of the tour, was only 30 minutes.

Unnecessary stops and hot bus distracted from beautiful falls and church. - The falls were really nice and the basilica was especially stunning. Very happy we went for that reason alone. However, there were two stops that were not mentioned in the Expedia description (granted they are mentioned on the Viator website) that were just meh- a chocolate shop and a place where they make copper art. Both of these places were a little dull and unnecessary - when we finally got to the church we only had 45 minutes, by far not enough time to fully appreciate it. In my opinion, take the half hour from the chocolate place and the half hour from the copper place and give people more time for the falls and/or the church - or build in a lunch break as there was no lunch which made the trip a little exhausting. Last piece of advice, pack fans if in the summer. Our bus was stiflingly hot and the driver said there was nothing he could do as the AC was automatic. Automatic and not turning on in 30 degrees? Absurd. I’m glad we did it for the church but in retrospect I would have rather had taken an uber to the church and spent as much time as I wanted.
