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…”

“Anne was a great tour guide. Her energy level, pride in Quebec Cuty, knowledge base, all added to this tour. We always orient ourselves to a new city by taking a walking tour. This one did not disappoint. Anne concentrated on the upper town with its history of the Citadel, Le Château Frontenac and monuments of founders, I found it compelling that she included women in the history of Quebec such as the impact of the Ursuline Sisters and the Filles du Roi, King’s daughters. Very professional your group. I strongly recommend. Nice to be either a group that included mostly Canadians.”

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.”
