The bus ride was smooth and enjoyable. The driver & guide were very friendly & insightful, the guide being local & having a sense of humor. The sights were great & we got plenty of time to enjoy Quebec City (3 hours in the center) & there were holiday markets happening that day!! It was cold but the weather cooperated & overall a must see day trip!!
Great tour!

As a foreign tourist it is sometimes worrying to choose an online tour in an unknown country, even more so when one reads comments that say they were stood up, however, it gave us peace of mind to know that this agency also has its own place in the city of Montreal, since, with any doubt or clarification, one can go there directly. We followed all the steps we were told, we went in time and form to the established place starting from the place where we waited for the bus. At the premises we were very kindly attended and resolved our doubts. Later the bus arrived for us, it is a clean and comfortable bus. Something that I didn’t like much was the bus driver, because, although I drove very well all the way, I kept repeating every 30 minutes that if we were not on time to get back at each stop, he would leave us abandoned, and that he would not tolerate even a minute of delay, and then he would tell us that taxis were very expensive, that sometimes they didn’t get there and he was only responsible for instilling fear, something that as a foreigner is very worrying to be stranded in a country that you don’t know, so we kept seeing the clock (something very uncomfortable). Moreover, the driver was not strictly a prop in any of his arrivals. Once you arrive in Quebec you will find a beautiful city that is very worth visiting. We got an amazing tour guide, very energetic, friendly and even providing personalized attention. The guide spoke English, French and Spanish, and was in charge of adapting to our requests throughout the tour. I think that just because of the Tour guide and knowing Quebec, it was totally worth the Tour. It is a pity not to be able to stay longer in that beautiful city, but it is impossible to know it complete in 1 day. The tour we chose was a day, and included the visit to Montmorency Waterfall (very nice) and the tour of old Quebec with a nice talk of its history, leaving time to later take photos, quickly visit some places, have a quick snack, and buy souvenirs. Later the bus arrived again for us and left us in different areas in the city of Montreal, while repeating again that it would leave us abandoned if we were not on time. However, we returned safely and well back, and I drive the whole journey well. I can definitely recommend 100% taking a day to travel on this Tour.
Great tour!

I think our driver’s name was Surge? Or sounded something like that. Anyways he was great and very friendly. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable, kind, helpful. Took time to get to know us and where we were from. Gave us a good historical points throughout and then we had time to walk around on our own for about 2.5 hrs. Would recommend!

I don't remember much about the details of the trip but I do remember feeling lost, disconnected, uninterested, and just...bored.

Very nice experience, the city is beautiful, however, the time to walk in the city ends up being short due to the distances being long.
Definitely worth doing!...

It was great! We were conveniently picked up, and left on time. The driver was really good at explaining everything clearly while giving us history along the way. After arriving in Quebec City, our guide took over informing us about Quebec’s history. We went to the falls, then came back for free time. I was so impressed how everything was smoothly condensed into a day.
