Our guide Rain is so nice and super friendly, giving us lot of useful info! We visited the Old quebec and the montmorency fallsview is stunning. The weather is sunny also. We really enjoy our day here!
Daniel was an excellent guide and shared a lot about the city . It was an excellent way to see the city and all it had to offer .
This was definitely worth it for the experience. The bus ride was indeed long but you know that going in. The tour guide, Long, was very kind, informative, and organized. The trip is well planned ed out and you have enough time everywhere you go to enjoy yourself. Definitely bring lunch to the ice hotel because lines were long, and I can say that the cable car ride to montmorency falls (which is extra anyway) isn’t worth it. You can see and do more from the bottom - that’s just my opinion.
We had a great time. The Ice hotel was beautiful and a great experience! Bo was great and very informative. Would definitely recommend this tour!
