It was excellent. Friendly & knowledgeable guides. Cute goats. Lovely German Shepherd keeping us all together. Yummy picnic lunch. We were so impressed by the use of reusable plates & cutlery. So many activities are wasteful using disposable items. No single use water bottles either, which is a plus. Thanks!
Very cool. Definitely worth it. We'll organized, informative, and unique. See the nature side of things in quebec city.
Francois and his son, Charles, were excellent guides. They were able to engage our kids by pointing out different things along the hiking path, including a recent wild turkey kill, skunk skull, garter snakes, northern red belly snake, bear markings, native plants, and the beaver dam. The goats were a hoot and the kids enjoyed walking them. Luna also kept us entertained. The lunch at the end was delicious, especially the goat cheese. We had a larger group and everyone was able to keep up as it was a nice, slow and easy hike, mostly in the shade of the forest. This experience was the highlight of our Quebec trip - would absolutely do it again.
Absolutely fantastic! We were introduced to the pack of goats and Lola the German sherperd that gathered the goats when nessasary ;) Walking was an education with Francois!, He was absolutely in his element !! Very knowledgeable about the plants, animals and Quebec's outdoors. After we walked by a beaver dam and returned we had an AMAZING picnic. We both loved the trip!!!
Great hike! Travelled with 3 seniors and one other adult. Fair warning the hike is very hilly. The views were amazing and the goats were great companions. Learned some new nature facts from our guide Francois.
this hike is awesome!! we loved all the goats and everyone got to walk them as much as they wanted. lunch was delish and we made many friends, human and goat alike! our guide was also very well informed and i loved that we could support a local business. highly recommended! 🤩
We’re a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We had such a wonderful time with Francois, his goats, and dog. Francois is very friendly online and in person. He kept the conversation going sharing things about the area as well as about himself. The goats were super cute and knew where to go and what to do. My son really enjoyed throwing a stick for the dog, Luna. I’m not a big hiker but I felt it was doable and not strenuous. It had rained the day before so a lot of muddy and wet areas but nothing we could do about that! At the end of the hike Francois provided us with a wonderful lunch. We enjoyed sliced baguettes, Brie, goat cheese, pasta salad, various fruits & veggies, salami, prosciutto, and an apple pie! Warning, no bathroom available except for Francois’ camping toilet so make sure to go before your hike! Overall, I highly recommend this hike to anyone.
So much fun! This is a great experience for the entire family regardless of age or love of goats. The hike is beautiful, leisure and you see beautiful scenery. The goats are so much fun (even for teenagers!) and Luna the dog is the best. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and will ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcomed. The picnic lunch at the end was delicious, local, wholesome food. Nature, goats, great food, welcoming people, perfect experience! So glad that we found it! Highly recommend it to any one that is looking for something a little different yet special.
Great Experience! The Guide was very knowledgeable with a great personality, and my fellow tourists in the group were very nice . Goats, who knew ! So cute! I tend to ask a lot of questions, and I learned so much, and it was so beautiful. Oh, and the picnic was delicious as well.
Beautiful hike with friendly goats and a knowledgeable guide. The trail is easy to navigate and the forest is lovely. Luna, the shepherd, was a great presence for keeping track of everyone whether they had two feet or four. The picnic was fantastic. I would do this tour again on our next visit to Quebec.
