Spectacular Taste and Drink Tour on Isle of Orleans - This was our second tour with this group in two days, and the second was just as amazing as the first. Celine was friendly, informative, helpful, and very safety conscious. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, including a last-minute diversion due to an emergency at one of the stops that Celine handled with care and grace. Highly recommended!!

Good rainy day activity - Enjoyable and knowledgeable guide, good and safe driver. I didn’t realize quite what the tour involved but that’s on me. Two candy stops and two alcohol (1 cider and 1 wine) stop. Enjoyable but not the right tour if you are by looking for a wine tour.

This was a great... - This was a great opportunity for buying gifts! I loved getting to go directly to the local makers, and also see a new part of the area. I was staying in Old Quebec, so it was nice to go somewhere more rural as well.

Fun trip with good samples! - This was a lovely trip and Dan was a great tour guide. We were on a small bus with just 9 of us which was great! The island was overly to see with the snow! We especially enjoyed the chocolate sampling but the other stops were all nice too! It was a nice ride thru the countryside on the island!

Yummy! - It was wonderful to experience these local businesses in person and have the opportunity to try their products before purchasing. We had a very small group for the tour so we were able to have very personalized service from the driver and all the stops we made.

Thoroughly enjoyable - Me and my friend thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Peter the tour guide was informative and entertaining. The size of the group (c12) was perfect for visiting the food and drink locations and we all had plenty to try an each stop. I'd highly recommend this tour when visiting Quebec city - interesting to hear the history of the island and the scenery is beautiful.

Great tour, worth the visit - This tour provides a good value for the dollar. The Ile Orleans is a beautiful agricultural Island with the best Chocolate Shop (Chocolate de Ile Orleans) this aide of the Atlantic. We also stopped at a great European Nougat Shop and a quaint Cidery/Winery.

Great tour! - Great tour with transportation to the island and back. Lots of time to explore at each stop and catch a glimpse of the falls.
