I took this tour on Friday, November 28. In the original booking under "additional info" it said that "This tour/activity will have a maximum of 45 travelers". This tour was on a double decker bus that likely held 75-100 people and it was completely full. I have no complaints about our driver/guide, but the experience was not worth the amount of money I paid for it. It took at least 15 minutes for everyone to get off the bus at each stop, and the chocolate store and copper museum were very unpleasant due to the crowd. I would have been far better off renting a car and driving myself to each of these places. After all, as our driver/guide mentioned several times, all of the sites we went to were free. I recommend saving your money and doing this itinerary on your own. The distances weren't far and it didn't appear to be difficult to drive there.
Good trip/they should skip the chocolate stop.

We were very excited to see the falls. The first stop at a chocolate shop should be skipped. You have enough time to buy chocolate and take a photo of the river. Not worth it. The second stop was at a copper shop and factory. Only enough time to walk through, missd the exhibit on copper mining Not enough time. If no stop at chocolate would give time for that. Third stop at Basilica of St. Ann. Excellent stop as copper shop made the doors. Final stop at falls, beautiful and great short walk to get great photos. The tour includes admission to falls, yet no admission fee as it is winter. They should reduce price of tour as admission is free now. Driver very friendly and talked non stop for the 3 hours. Told us all about the area. Since it was the only way for us to see the falls we did it. It would have been more enjoyable for us to do on our own by renting a car for the day. Again, skip the chocolate and spend more time learning about copper.

It was a fun trip! I was a little concerned about the heavy, just-fallen snow, but the driver was very careful and obviously very experienced. And by going in the winter we arrived at the falls in the dark—magical!

The Basilica of Ste-Anne-De-Beaupré was the unanticipated highlight of this tour. Inside the cathedral was breathtaking, all the more enjoyable as the Notre Dame de Quebec was closed while we were there. The copper art workshop was also magnificent. The drive around the rural landscape of the southern end of Ile d'Orleans was surprisingly scenic and a strong contrast to Quebec City just across the bridge. Montmorentcy Falls would have been better if we had gone there earlier in the day, as it was freezing cold by the time we arrived, which made the experience of getting up close to the water somewhat unpleasant.

Very interesting & the tales the guide told were very informative of the old way of life. Pack a lunch & water or beverage.

Felt like each step was shorter than was mentioned in the trip description. Had minimal time at each location. The cathedral requires more than 30 minutes! Would only recommend trip if you’ve never been before
Love the copper and chocolate

The copper museum, Saint Anne’s Cathedral and the chocolate shop were great. The falls was not impressive. Our driver needs to talk more about the history of the city. We found his knowledge of the history basic.
