Well worth the full day!!! - This is a wonderful day trip that took us 14 hours. William who served as our tour guide did a fantastic job of keeping up informed and on the move. You are on a bus with 50 passengers; therefore, when you stop get your snacks and drinks.
This visit to Quebec city was a great adventure; however, it took an extra hour because our bus had a mechanical issue that caused us to change buses. The replacement bus had a very smelly toilet. This was not the fault of the tour company, but the bus operator.

Wonderful day touring Quebec City - Let me start by saying I'm not a group tour person. A friend recommended that I try and visit Quebec City while I was in Montreal on a six night solo trip. I decided to book the tour rather than do it solo and I'm glad I did. I was picked up at my hotel and taken to the bus and the same on the return. Mr. Lee our driver and Angela our guide were wonderful. Morris our guide in Quebec was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a great tour and included the best stops for photo ops. The St. Lawrence river cruise was enjoyable with another fabulous guide. Be sure and try the whiskey. We also enjoyed a stop at the Mont Morency falls on the return to Montreal. It was well worth it and I would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful day. - It was wonderful. Our tour guide William was great and spoke to ALL of the people on the bus in their respective language including English, French and Spanish. We did the cruise which I’m not sure we would do again as it cut into our city touring - but we enjoyed that too. If you’re not a walker this trip might not be for you. We saw a lot of older folks struggling a bit. Lots of cobblestones and hills. But it was BEAUTIFUL. It was a long day but so worth it.

William the tour guide! - William our tour guide was excellent. He was organized, knowledgeable, funny and very attentive to the group. He was proactive in providing answers and instructions. The information he provided was very helpful, like a mini history lesson. I was so impressed He had flags on his iPad for demonstration. My son who is homeschooled had a great learning experience & fun trip. I would recommend taking a tour with William to anyone.

Nice bus trip - Not a bad tour, but not one I would recommend. My reasons for booking a tour vs just doing it on my own are (1) information shared by the tour guides and (2) time saved navigating, looking for parking, etc.
While the guide on the bus was nice and even humorous, other than a little history of a couple of bridges we went over, I didn't learn anything during the 3 hrs there or 3 hrs returning. Other than a restroom stop enroute, we only made two stops: (1) Old Town Quebec where we had a 1 hr walking tour, free time, then met at the boat and (2) Montmorency Falls which has it's own parking lot. So I only saved myself from finding parking once.
In hindsight, I would prefer to have driven myself, booked a walking tour of Old Quebec City, bought a boat ticket, and visited Montmorency Falls. You can fit it all into the same timespan on your own just as easily as doing the tour. But if driving yourself isn't an option (or if you just prefer riding a bus), it isn't a bad experience.

7 hour bus ride!!! - Unfortunately I should have read the description better. We actually spent more time on the bus drive than in the actual tour. I made the assumption that there would be a tour guide in the bus giving us interesting information about both Montreal and Quebec City. Though our tour guide in Quebec City was delightful, it was hard to hear with a group of about 50-60 people following her. I never should have booked this with a drive-I could have done this myself. Bring something with you to do on the 7 hrs of being on the bus.
