Great way to see Montreal
Gustav was prompt on pick up and maintained a very clean car. He really helped us to understand Montreal's layout and history. He told very entertaining stories, pointed out sights of specific interest based on our interests, and did a great job of answering our questions. Since our daughter is considering McGill, he talked about how the sights varied by season and helped her to practice her French. Gustav really seems to love being a tour guide and his adopted city.

Half-Day Trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré from Quebec city Quebec City
Our guide, Martin, made this a fabulous event. We went to see the Montmorency Falls, but got so much more. The basilica and visiting the Albert Giles Copper Museum were equally enjoyed.

Very nice comfortable, infoŕmative!
We were a group of 28 seniors. The booking was easy, although we had to make 2 separate reservations to accommdate all in our party. The guide, David was excellent, speaking in both French and English. He was very informative and personable. The food and beverages on board were better than expected, and there was even a small gift shop. Seating was plentiful on our day, being midweek and it was a bit chilly and raining at the start of the cruise.

Great food
Plenty of food, small group; felt there was lots of wait time which as fine but seemed like historical information could've been imparted at this time instead of me making small talk to strangers

Very nice day!
The ride to and from Quebec City is pleasant. I wished we had received a little more information from the guide, but they did a good job as a tour host. Quebec City is glorious! There may be some construction on top, so the day we went the shops at River level were more accessible and the atmosphere was better.

The guide, David, was...
The guide, David, was very knowledgeable. He was very clear in all of his explanations, he was genuine in his relaying the relative details. The rest of the crew was cordially and attentive during embarking and disembarking. The sun was shining, the craft was steady and David was keeping everyone informed. It was an experience I would definitely repeat.

Fantastic Tour and Guide
We had so much fun on the Quebec City food tour. Our guide, Maude, was INCREDIBLE. We learned so much from her. She also had such a great sense of humor. She was just lovely! Also, we tasted so many wonderful Canadian dishes. It was such a treat to take this tour!

Go on this walking tour!
Very worthwhile. Our tour guide Tommy is a 12th generation Quebec’er so having him show us his Great Great Great Grandfather’s house made the tour seem that much more authentic. Super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
