Review of Quebec City’s two-hour historic walking tour, covering Upper and Lower Town, top landmarks, expert guides, and winter tips.
“The tour was excellent until we were separated from the group and lost them, so we missed out on 4 of the stops in old Quebec, which is what I was most interested in. I was so upset the guide didn’t wait for us.”

Big Bus Vancouver review: see Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville Island, and more with flexible 24 or 48-hour sightseeing passes.
“Definitely use Viator to buy Hop On Hop Off bus tickets if you have discounts. We saved $42 due to using credits for 2 - 48 hour Hop On Hop Off bus tickets. We used these and SkyTrain tickets to get around the city with relative ease and save our feet.”

Review of a Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto, with scenic stops, three hours at the falls, transport details, costs, and practical tips.
“First time visiting Canada for work and tacked on a trip to Niagara Falls. Read somewhere to go with this group so I did but going to this beautiful place with this tour group was a bummer. The bus is very uncomfortable for two average people sitting next to each other. If you are on the larger size be ready yo be jammed together like PB and J between two slices of bread. So uncomfortable. So much so that at times I felt claustrophobic and was just aching to get off of this bus. The tour guide was not a pleasure to listen to. He sounded bored reading off many…”
Review of the Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Banff tour from Calgary, with seasonal stops, guide tips, timing, value, and practical advice.
“It was a great tour! I went in November, which is not peak tour season for Banff, but it was still a great experience nonetheless. Everything was starting to freeze and snow over, so it felt straight out of a movie. Our tour guide Joshua was also very knowledgeable about all the places we went and the views that we passed up. This was a easy tour that allowed you to see all the great things about Banff in one day!”
Review of Montreal’s 2-day hop-on hop-off bus tour, with Notre-Dame, Old Montreal, Mount Royal, live guides, value, and practical tips.
“I loved the commentary as we learned a lot about the city, the people and the culture. We loved how we could get on and off at the different locations or stay on the whole way round. It was fun for my first time in the city. Only part a little confusing was figuring out where to wait for the bus at each of the stops - no signage and map is unclear. Otherwise we loved it❤️”
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…”
Review of Tadoussac’s Zodiac whale-watching tour, with whale sightings, Saguenay Fjord views, practical tips, price advice, and FAQs.
“Efficient company. Process of checking in and boarding zodiac went smoothly. Very nice and knowledgeable guide. Guide and driver of boat did everything they could to help us see as many animals as possible. They would slow down and change positions so we could see animals and take photos. Would highly recommend!”
Every kind of Canadian day out, and the best of each.
