So-so
It was interesting but it was advertised as a boat tour but only a small part of it was on a boat. The rest was a walking tour. There were also too many sexual innuendos for the children in the group.

Quite disappointing
Guides were so in an automatic mode! I was quite frustrated. And they ask for money in the end, even for a tour that was very well paid!

Quebec City from the River
Another great way to get a different perspective on Quebec City - this time from the river. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, tailoring our tour to the adults and children in the group. Can’t recommend highly enough.
