Half-Day Trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré from Quebec city - Starting near Château Frontenac

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,718 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $70Our pick

Review of Quebec City’s half-day tour to Montmorency Falls, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Île d’Orléans, copper art and chocolate stops.

“We were very excited to see the falls. The first stop at a chocolate shop should be skipped. You have enough time to buy chocolate and take a photo of the river. Not worth it. The second stop was at a copper shop and factory. Only enough time to walk through, missd the exhibit on copper mining Not enough time. If no stop at chocolate would give time for that. Third stop at Basilica of St. Ann. Excellent stop as copper shop made the doors. Final stop at falls, beautiful and great short walk to get great photos. The tour includes admission to falls, yet no admission fee as it…”

It might be a bit of a shot time spending at the waterfall, but that’s reasonable and we got a lots of time to look around in the old quebec area. It’s a wonderful day in quebec with this tour.”

Review of the Montreal to Quebec City and Montmorency Falls day tour, with timing, costs, sights, guide quality, and practical booking advice.

“If you are looking for a guided tour this trip is not for you . This is more like a drop off /pickup service. Though the guide provide some random information about the city while enroute but you are mostly you are on your own , which isn’t a bad thing . Just be prepared and make your own plan . Also as the other review had mentioned be prepare to pay extra $36.00 per person , for the cable car ride ($26) and the tip for the bus driver and guide ($10) which I find it odd that she collected the tip right away .”

Review of Quebec City whale watching: compare boat and Zodiac options, bus ride, scenery, wildlife, food, value, and practical tips.

“We had a perfect weather day for our whale watching experience and were very lucky to see quite a few minke whales as well as hump back and balugar. Some seals too! What a pleasure, and I was glad that we chose to go in a zodiac. The only criticism I have is that the guide chose to speak for a long time in French and by the time she got to translate her musings into English I'm sure she'd forgotten half of what she had said.”
