Great tour experience! - The tour was a great experience. The pickup from the hotel was on time and friendly. Our tour guide, Angela was very friendly and always took good care of every person in the group. Our package included the cruise and it was impressive (only remember to bundle up as it was a bit chilly if you are going in mid May since it’s at least 1.5 hours cruise). The city tour was great (note that there are a few uphill steps and remember to take breaks, also the city tour guide was knowledgeable (he might need to speak a bit louder or pick a spot where it is quieter as there were a lot of cars back and forth when he was explaining). Last but not least, the driver should be given kudos as he drove quite a lot and we enjoyed the bus ride to and from our hotel

Be careful which package you choose! - Be very very careful what you book. There are different packages. We booked a tour to Quebec City with Montmorency water falls. Our package included a cruise of the falls. But while at the Falls, we were told that cruises don't start until end of May. Packages say that some attraction entrance fees are included, well, there were no entrance fees. We freely walked into every location without the need of an armband, stamp or ticket. I found that a bit deceitful.
Packages can include pick up or drop at your hotel...
Do not be late for the bus or you may not be able to sit together as family.
13 hour trip...3 hours on a bus there and back. Bus was OK, many seats had broken cup holders or no outlets for your electronics. Overhead lights and air controls didn't work. En route, we stopped at McDonald's. Spent too much time there in my opinion.
Besides the issues above, Quebec City was quaint and lovely. Lots of stairs and cobblestone walkways. Mary's Popcorn was yummy, with free samples. Notre Dame bells rang out, unexpectedly. Only to realize later in our trip that a new Pope was selected. Tour guide was with the group first 50 minutes, then you're on your own. Guide spoke French and English.
So much history! The Falls were impressive with the suspension bridge above. Fun. Extra charge for cable car ride to the top. 17CD$ per person. You can walk up and down if preferred...and that's free!

Recommend on good warm weather adventure - The tour director in Quebec city did not take time to give another option to older folks in regard to the top of the steps
The bus driver had to get back early so when we got on the bus we could not take a 10 minute restroom break and we did not know that until we arrived on the bus..

If you only have a day in Quebec City, this covers a good amount. - Would have liked to learn a little more history about the area while we were traveling to Quebec City. Weather was very cold and windy by the tour guide made the best of it. Plenty of time to explore galleries, museums, and have a meal in Quebec City

Great BUT not 100% great! - Okay - honest review - the pick up and drop off was smooth, and i was comfortable in the bus! We were the fist one in montmorency falls so we were able to get to the top of the bridge via cable car fairly fast! It was a great tour tbh the tour on quebec city was nice!! Bring Cash.
Why 3 starts and not 5?
- I was told that instead of the cruise tour it will be the civilization museum - it was a big let down considering the cruise tour was more expensive than the museum so i felt like I over paid a little bit. The tour guide in the bus was funny and great, and richard the tour guide in quebec city was really good as well!!
