    Boring

    NanceyJeanette_B, Aug 2025
    The information is received through ear buds and is canned, not a live person with a personality . Not lively, not interesting. Definitely would not do again.

    Bus tour

    Connie_S, Aug 2025
    The bus driver should absolutely tell people how to use their earphones - in other words what place to insert them in the bus?? They had 2 places to insert the earphones & we inserted them into one of the places that took them & we didn’t hear a thing for half the trip - very maddening!! They should have made that very clear from the beginning.

    No great

    Andy_M, Aug 2025
    I wouldn’t recommend this trip. We booked it as many other Viator experiences have been good. The bus arrived late, then the 90 minute bus tour lasted well over 2 hours because of the traffic. We’ve done these trips in London and Rome and this wasn’t a good example of what we expected. There were very few facts really for the length of the trip and one of my kids fell asleep. There was a group of 4 people sat behind us who actually ended up getting off. Save your money.

    excellent history and view of the Quebec City sites. Head phones were excellent but maybe music isn't needed inbetween.

    Bart_D, Aug 2025
    We had a 3.30 pm tour. The initial experience was as though we paid for a Toronto rush hour tour. Horns Honking Stop and Go horrible. The last half of the tour made up for the horrible beginning. Relaxing Informative. Suggest the morning booking (eliminates the rush hour horrible experience)would be our recommendation to others.

    Great bus tour of Quebec City

    SHARON_M, Aug 2025
    Great way to see Quebec City . Lots of interesting information about the city. Driver was excellent .

    Awesome family expérience!!

    Francois_P, Jul 2025
    It was a really hot day in Québec City, over 32 celcius! So, this activity gave us the opportunity to get a cool down on the open second floor of the bus ! The architectural view of the city by the tour bus is awesome ! You’ll see some views you cannot see when you walk down the street! I higly recommande the bus tour if you have childrens and don’t forget to grab your headphone !

    Tour was a good way to see the city in a hurry

    Rochelle_G, Jul 2025
    Guide switches between French & English which sometimes made it hard to hear/understand. If you might want to visit any of the sites the hop on hop off tour would be better.

    Great way to tour Old Quebec!

    Rhona_S, Jul 2025
    It was a wonderful way to learn the history and see a variety of sights within Old Quebec. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and wonderful at answering questions. He made the tour very enjoyable.

    Found the historical information, a little pandering to American tourists. Outdated. Update house evaluation of housing market in Quebec.

    Quebec tour

    Gail_C, Jul 2025
    Great tour of Quebec City. It was not too long so kids did not get bored. We all enjoyed the sites and the guided information

    Amazing History

    Marlene_H, Jul 2025
    It was well organized. The curator wanted to be sure everyone could hear him. He has some jokes along the way. Arrive 20 to 30 minutes before scheduled time to leave

    No real person explaining

    Nancy_V, Jul 2025
    It was ok but a real person talking to us would have been better than a radio. The repeat things too.

    A bit of history always makes your trip more interesting.

    Kammie_J, Jul 2025
    Very pleasant. Great for a first timer. Our guide loved telling the history of his town!! Fun to listen to him

    The best of Quebec in an hour ride great introduction.

    Douglas_J, Jul 2025
    Don’t sit on the right side of the upper deck the tree branches might hit you. Pick a day when a music festival is going on. Otherwise enjoy the view the broken English and French.

    See parts of historic Quebec without having to walk it all or drive it in crazy traffic. Learn of some of the history also in a variety of languages available.

    Great for us as my wife has limited mobility. Nice view of all of the key sites in the historic section of Quebec, such a beautiful city.

    On time, provided ear buds to listen to commentary. Was able to maneuver bus on narrow streets. Overall very goiff so

    A Perfect Overview of the City

    czstreet, May 2025
    The tour provides an excellent and efficient overview of the city. The earpods work well and describe everything you're seeing. The trip is well organized and worthwhile.

    Informative

    shelley_p, May 2025
    It was a very thorough 1 hour tour. What I would have hoped for was more historical references and information. Also it was a very cold May Day and it was freezing inside the bus.

    Amazing! A must for the first time visitors

    Mohammad_I, Aug 2024
    Great experience! The tour gives a very good idea about what to explore next. It covers a lot of places within the hour with historical significance. It was our first activity, enjoyed a lot.

    Must do - short and fun

    Yarina_M, Aug 2024
    The most memorable was the difference the tour guide made to the one hour experience. He made the one hour interesting and fun. So happy I signed up to do this.

    Perfect

    Wendy_C, Aug 2024
    Great ride around the city. I believe the tour guide was Karen. Very informative!! Loved the idea of an express bus ride, no on and off.
