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.”
See Niagara Falls from a boat, behind the Horseshoe Falls, and Skylon Tower on a small-group Canadian tour with hotel pickup.

See Niagara Falls from above, behind, and at water level with hotel pickup, skip-the-line access, a small group, and seasonal boat rides.
“Great experience, professional guide and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour to everyone. Don't know why it needs 100 characters”

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.”
Tour Quebec City’s Château Frontenac with a costumed guide, uncovering hotel legends, grand interiors, and historic rooms for $19.
“Our tour of the hotel was wonderful! The guide was outstanding - extremely knowledgeable, amusing & very helpful regarding one of the ladies in our party, who has mobility issues.”
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 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!”
Review of Vancouver’s Victoria and Butchart Gardens day tour, including ferry views, timing, value, guides, free time, and practical tips.
“A must if visiting BC. Unbelievable smells and colors. Peaceful day, lots to see and do, great day trip.”
Walk Old Quebec from City Hall to Place Royale with expert local guides, historic sights, river views, and practical tips for your visit.
“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 Montreal’s Mile End food tour, with smoked meat, bagels, poutine, gnocchi, cannoli, coffee, tips, and practical advice.
“Great food and history of the area. Eric was a great guide. Love all the places he took us. It was cold but each areas food warmed us up.”
Review of the Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto, with transport, free time, maple tasting, boat cruise, winter options, and practical tips.
“Great time, enough time for each location, not in a rush. Tracy was super informative and nice. Loved how she would share some fun facts as she was driving.”
Every kind of Canadian day out, and the best of each.
