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…”
