Great guide, interesting stops, beautiful views. We stopped at three winery all unique from each other. It was a very good tour . Would recommend
Thank you so much Kim A for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the wine tour on Île d’Orléans, from the beautiful views to the unique character of each vineyard 🍷🌿 It’s great to know you appreciated the variety of stops and the quality of the experience—each winery truly has its own personality, and we love sharing that with our guests. We’re also happy to hear your guide made the tour even more enjoyable—that’s exactly what we aim for! Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience in Québec!
Choose carefully when you go. We did the tour in late October, and were told on the bus that because one of the three wineries closes early when it's late in the year, we "can't stay forever," which really meant we were going to be rushed. We had exactly 30 minutes at the first winery (for a group of about 30 people!) and getting food was simply not an option. The second winery was a much better experience-- we were given a little time to walk around and enjoy the grounds. The third winery also felt rushed, but it was getting so cold that it felt like most people were kind of done. This tour is probably wonderful on a warm sunny day, at high season. But to be charged full price for what felt like less than the full experience left us feeling irritated.
Thank you Elizabeth T for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet expectations. You’re absolutely right—timing and seasonal factors can impact the pace of certain stops, especially later in the season when some wineries operate on reduced hours. That said, we understand how feeling rushed can take away from the overall enjoyment, and this is not the experience we aim to provide. We sincerely appreciate your comments regarding timing, group size, and the ability to fully enjoy each location. This kind of feedback is extremely valuable and helps us better adjust expectations, communication, and logistics depending on the time of year. We’re glad to hear that you still enjoyed parts of the experience, particularly the second winery, and we agree—on a warm, relaxed day, the experience can feel quite different. Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in better conditions for a more complete and enjoyable visit.
Jean Francios was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and very entertaining! Everyone had a great time! We highly recommend him as a tour guide.
Thank you so much Kathleen671 for your fantastic review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on the wine tour and that the experience was enjoyable for everyone. A big thank you for your kind words about Jean-François—his knowledge, energy, and sense of humor truly make each tour memorable. He’ll be delighted to hear your recommendation! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing tour in Québec!
Cruising travelers need to be very careful that the return time for your trip gives you plenty of time to get back to your cruise ship. Unlike the excursions booked on the ship, there are no guarantees that you'll get back to the ship. We had planned a great excursion, and believed the duration was 3 hours, but after getting on the bus, the driver told us it would be 4 hours... we had to get off, or risk missing the ship departure. Never got to enjoy the excursion... still hoping for a refund.
Thank you julieaY6220RD for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to clearly see and follow along with the guide’s explanations, especially from all areas of the bus, and we appreciate you pointing this out. Regarding Montmorency Falls, our tour is designed as an overview experience that balances city highlights with a stop at the falls. We recognize that for some guests, a longer visit or additional access (such as the tram) would be preferred, and your comments are very helpful in guiding future improvements and better setting expectations. We also appreciate your note about the guiding style, as this helps us continue refining the experience for all guests. Please also note that when a booking is made through a third-party platform, refund processing times may be longer, as each platform has its own policies and procedures. That said, when an issue is clearly on our side, we always make sure to issue a full refund. Thank you again for your honest feedback—we truly value it and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more tailored experience in the future
First vineyard was horrible. Wine tasted awful, we couldn’t understand what the gal was saying. This one should be skipped for sure The other two were fine. Wine was acceptable and the venues were lovely Jean Frances was a good tour guide and quite funny at times.
Thank you Cora D for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that one of the vineyard stops did not meet your expectations. Experiences can vary, and we understand how important it is that each stop offers both quality tastings and clear, engaging presentations. Your comments are very valuable and will be shared as we continue working with our partners to improve the overall experience. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the other wineries and their beautiful settings, and a big thank you for your kind words about Jean-François—his humor and personality definitely help make the day more enjoyable. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better and more consistent experience next time!
It started out a bit rocky but well worth it. There was some serious traffic issues and our guide was about 50 minutes late to pick us up. I did receive text informing me of the delay. Once the guide, Jeff (or maybe Geof) arrived, he was incredibly fun and informative. We went to 3 different winery and had a great time. I reccomend and would do again!
Thank you so much Leslie G for your thoughtful review! 😊 We’re sorry for the delayed pickup at the start—traffic can sometimes be unpredictable, but we’re glad you appreciated the update by text and your understanding. We’re especially happy to hear that once the tour got underway, you had such a great time exploring the wineries. A big thank you for your kind words about Jeff—his energy and knowledge really do make the experience fun and memorable! 🍷 It’s wonderful to know the tour turned into a great experience overall and that you would recommend it. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another fantastic wine adventure in Québec!
Our tour guide, Celine, was wonderful! We had tastings at 3 vineyards on the island. The fall colors were amazing and all the vineyards were lovely. We didn't really care for the wine but, we understand they grow different grapes in Quebec. Had a nice time with fellow tourists.
Appreciate the honest take, Wesley T 😊 Really glad to hear you enjoyed the scenery and the vineyards—fall on Île d’Orléans is hard to beat 🍁🍷 And you’re absolutely right: Québec wines can be quite different from what people are used to. The climate here leads to unique grape varieties and styles—not always for everyone, but definitely part of the local character. Big thanks as well for the kind words about Céline—she’ll be happy to hear it! And honestly, sharing the experience with a fun group often makes it even better. Thanks again for coming along—we’d love to have you back to try a different side of the island next time!
Amazing tour guide! Beautiful wineries and very nice people working at them. Everything was on time and very organized. Definitely recommend!
Short and sweet—we love it, Ashleigh G 😊 Beautiful wineries, great people, smooth organization… that’s exactly the experience we’re aiming for every time 🍷 And a big thank you for the “definitely recommend”—that means more than you think! Hope we’ll see you again for another round on the island
Disappointing and Not as Described We booked the Wine Tasting on Île d'Orléans tour from Québec City on Friday with high expectations based on the description. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The listing clearly stated it was a small-group tour capped at 13 travelers, but our group had 26 people. This completely changed the dynamic and made the experience feel impersonal and rushed. The description also promised a behind-the-scenes tour with insider facts about the winemaking process. In reality, we were given the same tastings as any walk-in visitor—in fact, worse, since our large group size made it crowded and less personal. Two of the wineries were clearly unprepared for such a big group. The tour guide seemed unorganized and often unsure of what was happening. When we asked how much time we had at a stop, the answer was simply “Whenever,” leaving us with no idea whether we could shop, explore, or order food. The entire day felt confusing and unstructured. Considering the higher price, we expected a VIP, curated experience. Instead, it felt like an oversized bus tour with little value added. Honestly, we would have had a more enjoyable (and affordable) day simply taking an Uber between wineries on our own. Very disappointing overall—not worth the money and definitely not what was advertised.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review, mjhoward8. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not match what was advertised or expected—especially regarding group size and the overall organization of the day. You’re absolutely right: a smaller group and a well-structured experience make a huge difference, particularly for a wine-focused tour. Your comments about the group size exceeding what was indicated, the lack of clarity at stops, and the feeling of a less personalized experience are all taken very seriously. This is not the level of experience we aim to deliver, and we understand how frustrating that must have felt—especially at that price point. We also appreciate your point about expectations around a more curated, behind-the-scenes experience. That’s something we continuously work on improving with our partners to ensure the visit feels more exclusive and meaningful. Thank you again for your honesty—feedback like this is essential for us to address gaps and make real improvements.
Fantastic. Our guide Jeff was amazing. What a great day!!! Highlight of our trip to Quebec City. Fantastic guide made the day even more memorable.
Now that’s the kind of day you hope for 🙌 Thank you ruskin1969 for the enthusiasm—it comes through loud and clear! Jeff will be thrilled to hear he helped turn it into a highlight of your trip. When the guide clicks with the group, everything just flows. Really glad Île d’Orléans delivered for you. Hope the rest of your stay in Québec was just as memorable!
