We really enjoyed this tour. The scenery was beautiful. The tour guide was very thorough in his commentary of history of the area. His other tour experiences made the tour extra interesting.

The drive was lovely. The trees were just past their prime for fall colors but still plenty left to enjoy.

Thank you!

We had a lot of fun and saw some amazing scenery. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a lot of stories to share. The bus was comfortable and sound system was very easy to understand. There were quite a few elderly people on the tour and everyone was accommodated. Great Job!!!

Guide was excellent. They gave us options to walk or stay on the bus due to the uneven terrain. Highly recommend.

Viator continues to impress with shore excursion equivalents to the cruise ship offerings for much less money. To really enjoy the area, it is best to get out of the port and see the countryside. We had informative narrative provided by the lovely Natalia, a competent driver, easy port pickup, a clean and comfy bus and beautiful scenery for a great value. What more can you ask for?

Constance did a great job on providing the history and culture of the area. Her college and secondary education instructor experience served her well and us.
Terri_d, Oct 2025
The guide Marie was engaging and fun. She made the entire excursion so enjoyable. The scenery was gorgeous and we saw some incredible views of the Fjord. 10 out of 10!
Van_B, Oct 2025
Some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see at the Fjord National Park. Our guide was wonderful and shared some local cheese and chocolate covered blueberries with us. The covered bridge on the tour had beautiful local artwork within. You will not regret doing this tour.
Alisa_K, Oct 2025
Nice drive in the Fjord. Nice stories of the area. Beautiful scenery. Would recommend. Tour guide very nice.
Sofia_C, Oct 2025
The tour guide Natalia was very pleasant and gave us a nice tour. The views of the fjords are amazing. The only thing I would have skipped was the stop to see the statues. The tour company had great communication.

Great way to spend a part of your day here if you are on a cruise. The guide was just lovely and gave us lots of information. What a beautiful location!
Loved the coffee stop too. Would definitely recommend.

Cheaper than the same ship tour. Small bus tour of “back country”-short walks through the park. Josie was very informative and gave us samples of cheese and chocolate covered blueberries.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks! 😀

Had a lovely day in a very interesting place, with a great guide, Josie. Lots of on and off the bus, not too much walking, but enough to keep from feeling stuck on a bus. Interesting local snacks to taste and a coffee/restroom break. There are some fun art installations.
Kevin_P, Oct 2025
Easy location at cruise terminal for pick up. Fortunately we were in a small group of 8 in the minibus. Very good driver and our guide Natelia was excellent. She gave us lots of information about the area.
ROBERT_W, Oct 2025
There was lots of local information regarding the Fjord the park and the town.
The guide was very knowledgeable Most of the tour was taken on a small bus, so there was a lot of riding around Looking at the scenery

Very informative. Great guide. Best way to spend time in Sagueny for 4.5 hours......................
Cheryl_C, Oct 2025
This is misrepresented. The pyramid is supposed to be a stop with admission included. We didn’t even stop there for a photo. This was supposed to last 4 1/2 hours but was less than 4 hours which probably was because we didn’t stop at the stops listed but another group was waiting for our bus so that explains it all.

Hello!
The Viator website doesn't give us a choice, which is why you indicate "free entry" at all stops or points of passage, even though none of the places we stop at have an entrance.
Here are the three options available to us, which we must select when asked on the platform.
Is entry to this location included in the price of your tour?
- Yes
- No
- Not applicable, entry is free
Now regarding the duration, we like to respect the indicated tour time, which is 4 hours and 15 minutes, give or take 15 minutes.
Thank you for your feedback.

Wonderful experience. Marie was very entertaining, knowledgeable and professional. Visited several interesting points and viewed amazing landscapes.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, I share your comment with your guide Marie.
John_G, Oct 2025
This was an easy leisurely scenic tour away from the Port. There was some walking involved which was easy. The national park stop took us through a small trail where you had to be wary of your footing. Overall our host Marie, kept us informed and entertained which made for a very enjoyable tour.

Good experience ~ loved seeing the National park and the other stops. The weather was rainy but that didn’t stop our guide or other guests from taking it all in!

Saguenany was a pleasant surprise. Loved our tour around the island and LOVED our guide, Mary!!!!!!!

A really good tour with a very informative guide. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars as my back is very sore today due to being bounced around in the bus. Springs need replacing

The tour guide shares her rural Quebec community and its history, including a devastating flood, with you on this tour. You also get a chance to hike a bit, view the hydroelectric project and the fjord, stop at some delicious local coffee and pastry shops. Please keep in mind that this is a rural, French-speaking area, and keep your expectations realistic. Then you will enjoy this tour.

The directions to look for the brown building with a blue roof are WRONG! The meeting location changed last week apparently. It would have helped if a sign had been posted on the brown building telling us where to go to check in. Maybe if we had booked directly with the tour company we would have known. Regarding the tour…it was lots of riding. The seats in these vans are always very unfriendly to 5’10” tall ladies. The guide and driver did a fine job but I wouldn’t recommend this tour
