Great experience and tour guide (Mr. Young)! We first stopped to get breakfast at McDonald's, then arrived at the waterfall which was so beautiful. Next the walking tour was very informative, detailing the history of the area and city. Lastly, my favorite, the ice hotel was magical, felt like I was in a Frozen movie.

Make sure the cable car to the top of the falls is in service. Overall the tour is worth it, but with the cable car not running you waste an hour of the trip waiting in the rest area for the bus to return. That hour could have been spent in Quebec City instead of sitting around waiting.

Quebec City is a beautiful city and we enjoyed the tour. The day we visited was unfortunately raining and cold. But that wasn't the fault of the tour operators.
Michelle_C, Apr 2026
Thank you, Tiffany, for going above and beyond to make our Quebec day tour truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
A huge thank you as well to William for taking such great care of us and bringing so much fun and energy to the trip!
Janet_S, Apr 2026
Too much time spent at the waterfall
Driver was tailgating too many cars and felt
unsafe
Our guide in Old Montreal was fine
Better bathroom should be available on the bus
Nuria_F, Apr 2026
Perfect tour that balances nature, history and free time! Great guides ( Annalisa in Quebec and William for the trip) Recomendable 100%
Dennis_Y, Apr 2026
Plenty of free time to explore on your own. Guides are very knowledgeable. Guides are multi lingual.
Alla_F, Mar 2026
The tour was very organized, clear communication before about departure logistics. We enjoyed the information our tour guide, William, provided about the cities. This package is mostly self guided once in Quebec City, which worked well for us but to note a big part of the day is on your own. I’m happy we did the day trip, city is worth visiting, and this was a great price.
Juliana_G, Mar 2026
It’s a great way to get to know Quebec City in a day and the pick-up service is very convenient! William was a great guide.
Patricia_L, Mar 2026
This tour is a must do! My friend and I both had a wonderful time. William, from Concord Tours was great! He translated his comments into many different languages. On the way there was enough time to stop for breakfast and/or snacks. Included in the tour was a 1 hour guided tour of Quebec City by a local.

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.
ChiaYu_C, Mar 2026
Our guide, Mr. Shuo, was very helpful, had a good sense of humor and to the point. There was plenty of time to explore Quebec City and we did not feel rushed.
Mark_M, Jan 2026
Quan was a great guide. We enjoyed Quebec City very much. The trip was very well organized. We will be doing it again in the Summer.
Allyson_F, Jan 2026
Traveling with my children, ages 13,10 and 7. It was a great experience!! Angela was our guide and Christian was our bus driver, they made the trip comfortable and enjoyable. The whole day was so well organized, from hotel pick up to drive up to QC and the return. I would recommend to anyone with kids that can sleep or be somewhat self sufficient on the bus ride.
RAUL_R, Dec 2025
It was very nice and interesting seeing everything. Amazing Views. We had Yang as our guide, very good guide, very funny, he knows what he’s talking about.

It was well organized so much detail. From Richard picking us up from our hotel. Tour too fantastic guides (Yang & Richard) that helped us maneuver through Quebec was amazing. The amount information about Quebec City 👌 Our bus driver was excellent. I would
highly recommend this tour to everyone.
David_C, Dec 2025
Guide (Qan) and bus driver were excellent - informative without being overly so and schedule on time in spite of nasty rainy weather to / from Quebec City. Complementary ride back to our stay was also a nice touch.
JanetP, Dec 2025
Justo después de presentarse, lo primero que oímos sobre el autobús fue que no se podía usar el baño y que eran 3 horas de ida y vuelta... ¿En serio?
Como tengo colitis ulcerosa, prácticamente me tragué una botella de Immodium y crucé los dedos y las piernas el resto del día.
Nos alegramos de que el autobús tuviera cinturones de seguridad, porque, sobre todo a la vuelta, iba muy rápido y cambiaba de carril, así que saltábamos como piñatas... Había mucha gente rezando en la parte trasera del autobús por la noche, ya que había gente aterrorizada.
Además, aunque esto puede ser un poco quisquilloso, cuando paramos a descansar en McDonald's a la bajada, nos dijeron que volviéramos al autobús, que volviéramos al autobús, que volviéramos al autobús a tiempo, éramos como 20 personas de pie en el frío. Entiendo que piensen que podrían robar el autobús, pero ¿qué tal si sacan las llaves y dejan la puerta abierta? No creo que lo roben, y el aparcamiento está lleno de personal del ejército canadiense.
El guía local de Quebec parecía amable, pero no lo oímos ni pudimos seguirlo porque no lo vimos cuando estuvimos en Disneyland. Les gusta usar pompones y la punta de un palo para saber a quién seguir. Quebec está muy concurrida, había eventos corporativos, había muchísima gente y no pudimos encontrar a nuestro guía mientras intentaban mantenerse en pie.
Hicimos este tour porque parecía más fácil para quienes se acaban de mudar a Montreal viajar a Quebec que intentar coger un autobús de ida y vuelta. Nos pareció confuso, pero al final no valió la pena. La próxima vez que alquilemos un coche, cojamos el Greyhound o cualquier otra opción que no sea este viaje en autobús tan loco... Viajamos mucho, este es sin duda uno de los peores tours que he hecho.
Gracias por no pasar un sombrero por propina. No querrías que pusiera una nota diciendo que eres un desastre en tu trabajo... al final, eso es todo lo que puedo resumir de nuestro viaje... ¿con...? (Disculpen la gramática, soy alófono).
**********
Dès les présentations, la première chose qu'on nous a annoncée à propos du bus, c'est qu'il n'y avait pas de toilettes et que le trajet aller-retour durait trois heures… Sérieusement ?
Atteinte de colite ulcéreuse, j'ai failli avaler une bouteille d'Imodium et j'ai croisé les doigts pour le reste de la journée.
Heureusement qu'il y avait des ceintures de sécurité, car, surtout au retour, le bus roulait très vite et changeait constamment de voie ; on était secoués comme des piñatas. Le soir, beaucoup de gens priaient à l'arrière, terrifiés.
Et puis, même si ça peut paraître un détail, lors de notre pause chez McDonald's à l'aller, on nous répétait sans cesse de remonter dans le bus, de remonter dans le bus, de remonter dans le bus à l'heure. On était une vingtaine à attendre dans le froid. Je comprends qu'ils craignent le vol, mais que se passe-t-il si quelqu'un oublie ses clés et laisse la porte ouverte ? Je ne pense pas qu'ils vont le voler, et le parking est plein de militaires canadiens.

Le guide local de Québec semblait sympathique, mais nous ne pouvions ni l'entendre ni le suivre car nous ne l'avons pas vu à Disneyland. Ils utilisent des pompons et le bout d'un bâton pour indiquer qui suivre. Québec était bondée ; il y avait des événements d'entreprise, une foule immense, et nous n'arrivions pas à retrouver notre guide tout en essayant de garder l'équilibre. Nous avons choisi cette excursion car cela semblait plus simple pour les nouveaux arrivants à Montréal de se rendre à Québec que de prendre le bus. Nous avons trouvé cela déroutant, et au final, ça n'en valait pas la peine. La prochaine fois que nous louerons une voiture, nous prendrons Greyhound ou une autre compagnie plutôt que ce trajet en bus chaotique. Nous voyageons beaucoup, et c'est sans aucun doute l'une des pires excursions que j'aie jamais faites. Merci de ne pas avoir fait circuler le chapeau pour un pourboire ; vous ne voudriez pas que je vous laisse un mot disant que vous êtes incompétent… En résumé, c'est à peu près tout ce que je peux dire sur notre voyage… avec… ? (Excusez les fautes de grammaire, je ne suis pas romantique/allophone)

Одмах након што се представила, прво што смо чули о аутобусу је да не можете користити тоалет и да је путовање 3 сата у сваком правцу... озбиљно? Пошто имам улцерозни колитис, прогутала сам боцу имодијума и држала прсте и ноге прекрштене до краја дана. Били смо срећни што је аутобус имао сигурносне појасеве јер је посебно на повратку возио тако брзо и прелазио из траке у траку, скакали смо около као пињате напред-назад... било је много молитви у задњем делу аутобуса ноћу јер је било неких престрављених људи тамо. Иако ово може бити избирљиво када смо се успут зауставили код Мекдоналдса, свима нам је речено да се вратимо у аутобус, вратимо се у аутобус на време, било нас је око 20 и стајали смо напољу на хладноћи. Разумем да можда мислите да би аутобус могао бити украден, међутим, шта кажете да извадите кључеве и оставите врата отворена? Не мислим да ће бити украден, а паркинг је пун припадника канадске војске.
Локални водич у Квебеку је деловао љубазно, али нисмо могли да га чујемо и нисмо могли да га пратимо јер га нисмо могли видети када смо били у Дизниленду, воле пом-пом и крај штапа, тако да знамо кога да пратимо. Квебек је заузет, било је корпоративних догађаја, било је људи од зида до зида и нисмо могли да пронађемо ко је наш водич, све време покушавајући да останемо усправни.
Обрали смо ову туру јер је људима који су се тек доселили у Монтреал изгледало лакше да путују до Квебека него да покушавају да ухвате аутобус тамо и назад, и то нам је било збуњујуће, али на крају се заиста није исплатило. Следећи пут када изнајмимо ауто, идемо Грејхаундом или било чим другим осим овим лудим путовањем аутобусом... много путујемо, ово је лако једна од најгорих тура које сам икада имао.
Хвала вам што нисте одбили капу за бакшиш, не бисте желели да ставим поруку у којој пише да сте лоши у свом послу... на крају дана то је све чиме могу да сумирам наше путовање... са чиме? (Извињавам се или граматика, јер сам алофон)
*****
Right after introducing herself the first thing we heard about the bus was you can't use the bathroom and it's 3 hours each way... seriously?
Since I have ulcerative colitis so I basically swallowed a bottle of immodium and kept my fingers and legs crossed for the rest of the day.
We were happy that the bus had seat belts because especially on the way back he was driving so fast and switching Lane to Lane we were jumping jumping around like pinatas back and forth... there was a lot of prayer going on back in the back of the bus at night as there were some terrified people back there.
also although this may be picky when we had our rest stop at McDonald's on the way down we are all were told get back to the bus get back to the bus get back the bus on time we were like 20 of us standing out in the cold. I can understand you might think the bus might get stolen however how about you take the keys out and leave the door open I don't think it's going to get stolen and it's parking lot full of Canadian Army personnel.
The local guide in Quebec City seem nice but we couldn't hear him and we couldn't follow him because we couldn't see him when we were at Disneyland they like pom pom and the end of the stick so we know who to follow Quebec City is busy there were corporate events on there were wall to wall people and couldn't find who our guide was all while trying to stay upright.
We took this tour as it seemed easier for people who've just moved to Montreal to take a trip to QC versus trying to get a bus there and back and we find it confusing but it really wasn't worth it in the end. next time we'll rent a car take the Greyhound or anything other than this crazy bus trip... we travel a lot this is easily one of the worst tours I've ever taken.
Thank you for not passing a hat for a tip you wouldn't want me to put a note in there that says you suck at your job... by the end of the day that's all I can sum up our trip by...with? (Sorry for grammar as I am an Allophone)

Amazing tour!! Places were great! Pleasant group! Time was perfect!! Everything was completed as scheduled.
SarahElisabeth_O, Dec 2025
A fun and informative experience in Quebec City, especially during Christmas time! We had a driver from our hotel to the bus and a comfortable coach ride. The waterfall was beautiful and lower & upper Quebec City was stunning. Also had free time to visit shops and eat some lunch. Met some lovely people & the trip coordinator, Jason, was also very informative & diligent.
Julia_C, Dec 2025
Pickup and drop off proved very valuable especially since my hotel was far away and on a Montreal winter day. all employees involved were very professional and attentive. Montmercy - too cold to do a whole but a photo stop was very worthwhile. was given enough time to do shopping and own sightseeing in Quebec city. given time limits
I had as a tourist. its a great way to see QC without booking buses and trains on your own.
jove_s, Nov 2025
We had a great experience in our Quebec tour. We appreciate our wonderful guide Joyce , who is helpful in explaining about the tour. Our driver Christian made the whole ride a great experience for me and my family. Would highly recommend this tour if you want to spend a day in beautiful Quebec City.
Angie_K, Nov 2025
Great day trip to get to see another city without the stress of having to drive or plan it yourself!
Daisy_M, Nov 2025
Could’ve been a nicer trip if the guys spoke clear English, unable to understand 90% of what he said
Jessica_D, Nov 2025
Tour guide was very very hard to understand. Got to see major sights and overall was a good experience.
Tammy_P, Nov 2025
Although it was a long day it was definitely worth it. The transportation and tour guides were excellent. I think the Ferry ride could have been skipped
Lydia_z, Nov 2025
Amazing tour, very well organized. Our tour guide Mr. Ren is super friendly and helpful. Our driver is very nice and the ride is safe and smooth. We enjoyed visiting the beautiful waterfalls and had so much fun exploring the gorgeous Quebec City. Thank you! 🙏 ❤️☺️
Sarkha_F, Nov 2025
Its a long day but well worth it.
Quebec is stunning the tour left plenty of time to visit we went on the off season.
Judith_W, Nov 2025
Even though it is a 3 hour drive it is worth the trip. We had 4 hours in Quebec City with 3 hours on our own…plenty of time for a meal and shopping. The stop at Montmorency Falls was perfect. We had a crisp November day with lots so sunshine. Very enjoyable.
Barbara_c, Nov 2025
I booked the Quebec full day travel with hotel pick up. Trip was on on time. We were picked up from our hotel on the time scheduled and the tour bus left the city of Montreal on time. Our guide Nikki was awesome.
