Ciudad de Quebec

My wife and I recently visited Quebec City and used the "Hop On - Hop Off" bus tour. It was a great way to see the city. We went completely around the tour first and then went back and got off the bus at the stops that we were interested in. My only complaint is that the list of the addresses of the pickup spots is WRONG. The list that they sent us had "507 Rue Saint-Joseph E" as a pickup location. It is NOT. Fortunately we spoke to a very helpful employee at a nearby hotel and he got us to the right place.

The pickup spot was incorrect on the website so we waited for over an hour until I called and messaged and quickly got redirected. The ride was beautiful and informative. The audio was not lud enough to overcome the wind and construction on noise. It is still a nice way to get an overview of a beautiful city.

Great for seeing different parts of the city. Not great for moving from one part of the city to another. The order of the tour might not work if you just want to relocate.

The e-ticket can be easily lost in your phone, just by accessing a new app. I had to call in to get a new ticket. I selected an email attachment, which stayed available. The drivers were very courteous.

The bus was comfortable. The driver was good. I liked the audio guide. Learned a lot about history of the Canada. All the stops were interesting and beautiful. We got off on citadel and walk around taking lots of pictures and walking on the wall. The bus was right on time on the first pick up and exactly within 30 minutes to pick us up from the stop that we got off. Highly recommended this tour. You can see a lot in 2.5 hours.

Nice way to see the highlights of old Quebec City. The bus was clean and the sound system worked properly. We were able to cover a lot of ground using the Hop on Hop Off. it’s hard to go wrong here!

The tour covered quite a number of sites with running commentary. The only point I would make is this is more correctly a sight-seeing tour as the bus makes very brief stops. So if you get off you must wait thirty minutes before another bus comes.

The circuit gave us a great overview of what the town looks like before getting to the desired areas/sites/buildings.

Love this type of tour when visiting a new city but because of the layout in Quebec it probably would’ve been better with a walking tour of Old Quebec. There really aren’t enough stops that are all that interesting. Operating hours are kind of short and there weren’t enough busses running to rely on it as a way to get around. We missed a bus by a couple minutes and when we checked the map it was the only bus running so it would be 1:30 until it came back around so we just walked somewhere else. The guide is pre-recorded and available in a variety of languages. Headphones are provided to listen. There are pros and cons to this approach and ultimately it is the best way to do it in a city where lots/most of the tourists don’t speak the native language fluently. But it doesn’t feel as lively as having a real tour guide.

Exactly as described - a tour of downtown
