The experience

The tour departs from Old Quebec near the Chateau Frontenac, so if you've landed in the city or have a free afternoon, you don't need to arrange a rental or figure out the route yourself. A professional guide handles the driving and narration, leaving you to watch the countryside roll past instead of navigating it. The half-day format means you're back in the city by early evening, which works if you have dinner plans or want to explore more of Quebec on foot.

Montmorency Falls is the centerpiece (it drops 83 meters, taller than Niagara), and you'll have time to walk around the park and take in the scale of it. The tour also stops at the Shrine of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré, where you spend 45 minutes on your own to explore the pilgrimage site at your own pace. Along the way, you'll drive a short stretch of Île d'Orléans and visit the Albert Gilles Copper Art Museum to see how copper art is made. The itinerary includes a stop at a chocolate shop on the island with a view worth the detour.

You choose between a morning or afternoon departure, so you can build the tour around the rest of your day. The guide speaks English or French, and the price includes local taxes, so there are no surprises at checkout.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

How long does the tour actually take?

The tour runs about 4.5 hours total, which is why it's called a half-day trip. It leaves time to explore Quebec City before or after.

What exactly is Montmorency Falls and why is it worth seeing?

Montmorency Falls is a single drop of 83 meters in Montmorency Falls Park just outside the city. It's higher than Niagara Falls and the main reason most people book this tour.

Do I have to stay with the group the whole time, or can I explore on my own?

At the Shrine of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré you spend 45 minutes exploring on your own, and the same applies at Montmorency Falls Park: the guide doesn't lead a structured walk, so you set your own pace.

What's included in the price?

The tour includes the professional guide, transport to all stops, entry to the sites, and local taxes. Gratuities for the guide are separate.

Is there a morning or afternoon option, and does it matter which I pick?

Both morning and afternoon departures are available. Pick whichever fits your schedule, since the route and stops are the same either way.
