This was a very nice excursion….leader was very informative but also watchful of those on the tour. We were a group from a cruise ship & “older”. We had no problems but one guest had expressed he had a double hip replacement & the guide was mindful of this. Beautiful waterfall & hike was excellent but not super taxing. Would highly recommend!

A small group tour in Saguenay. At 2 1/2 hours, a perfect length with driving time approx 30 minutes total. Our guide was well prepared, high energy and very entertaining. The short waterfall hike was very beautiful, all downhill along the canyon on a boardwalk or well maintained trail. There were some steps to navigate, so we couldn't take our 2 year old's stroller. Highly recommended and would love to return.

Sagauney city and Gorge

John_N, Oct 2025

Denis was a very good guide who shared his h owl edge of Saguenay with us. The trip was interesting. You need to be active to walk the mile along the gorge from the waterfall back to the bus. Beautiful scenery

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

Best tour in Saguenay! 5*

David_K, Oct 2025

This was an amazing, must do tour. The tour operator is two minutes outside of the dock where the ship arrives. We took the 2 1/2 hour city and waterfall tour. I believe there are two tours per day. We took the later one and still made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. It was a nice small, clean 24 seat van. We don’t like doing large bus tours (50+ passengers) as it takes too long to get people on and off and there’s always some selfish person coughing all over everybody!. The small van was ideal! Drove around the town for a little bit and then drove out to the waterfalls. Our tour guide Marie, was amazing! She was funny and informative and was one of the best tour guides I’ve toured with. I also loved her French accent! I highly recommend this tour. There is very little to do tour wise in Saguenay. Five stars!

Great hike to the waterfall

Stephen_K, Oct 2025

Denis our guide was very knowledgeable of the area & Richard was a great driver. The trail & hike to the waterfall was beautiful with well maintained trail & boardwalk. Many opportunities for great photos. Highly recommend

Worthwhile

Lisa_G, Sep 2025

Denis was funny & informative & such a nice man. (I can’t recall our drivers name but he was lovely too!) We really enjoyed the drive up to the falls & the walk back along the trail. Nice to see the fall colors starting. Denis gave us some history about La Baie which was very interesting.

A Must Do for Suganay Bai Quebec - Waterfall & City Tour

Ann_B, Sep 2025

Such a wonderful tour with Dennis in Suganey Baie. This was one of the highlights of our trip. He was so knowledgeable and truly involved with the group. He answered questions and make sure we were able to spend adequate time at each stop, never felt rushed. The city tour was wonderful and the history interesting and engaging....... but the waterfall hike is a MUST Do! Was a great surprise to sample chocolate covered blueberries and the "Queen's" Cheese. at the end of our time. Highly Recommend this tour!!

Melinda_U, Sep 2025

Nothing better than getting in the thick of the fall foliage!!! The guide was very knowledgeable and so friendly. Would do it 100 times over!!!

Great day in Saguenay!

Dave_C, Sep 2025

Easy pick up from cruise port. Dennis was very knowledgeable and nice. Really enjoyed the city tour and the hike to the falls. Loved the samples of local food too

Thank you, I share your comment with your guide Denis.

Hello!

Rose_R, Sep 2025

The experience was great, but the arrangements were a mess. Dennis was a fun and informative guide. First of all Viator sent an e-mail changing the time. I called to confirm the day of the tour and the tour director had no knowledge of the time change. If I hadn't of called we would have missed the tour. Secondly, we were a group of 10 and they tried to split us into two groups. A group of 9 and 1. Really? We adamantly refused, and finally someone else on the bus volunteered to move to the other bus. The management of the tour was awful.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Good evening Rose, I'm delighted to see that you and your group enjoyed your tour with us. Regarding the program, we sent everyone the latest program and the new location of our booth three days before the tour. I don't understand why you didn't receive it from us or Viator. Regarding the seats on the minibus, there were two other small groups booked for our 9:00 a.m. tour, and one of them had an odd number of people. They had booked and paid individually, so we didn't know they were a group until they arrived on the bus. It took a little while to find a solution, but we managed to get everyone together. The tour departed 5 or 6 minutes late. Thank you again for taking the tour with us. Sincerely,

Great history lesson and...

Nina_N, Sep 2025

Great history lesson and a beautiful hike from the waterfalls. Marie is the best tour guide, very engaging and had us laughing all the way!

A flavour of the richness of the wilderness

Terry_D, Sep 2025

Dennis was our guide and very good at imparting the history of the area, we were told by a couple on our cruise ship that there is nothing in Saguenay and was not sure why cruise ship stopped here, clearly they were wrong. This tour is just what you want to deep your toe in the “netflix virgin river” experience. Described as a hike its more of a gentle stroll alongside the waterfalls and canyon of the river, but do take stout footwear if the weather is or has been wet. Our was a dry sunny day. The town is not steeped in history but you are given what there is. This tour is about the wilderness, smell the fresh air, wonder at the sound of the river and enjoy the views. The company run bear tours and a four hour tour along the fjord, this is the petit tour to give the flavour for bigger adventures and just right if your a cruiser if you want to be back on board for lunch.

Outdoor easy adventure

Beautiful drive through town and country side. Lovely short easy hike to falls! Must do! Guide was knowledgeable!

This was a lovely tour. The hike was not too challenging but certainly not flat. Our guide was very entertaining, and the pace of the tour was not too fast.
