Lovely way to view the city - Great way to catch some postcard photos of the city and waterfall. They won't let me post if I don't say more so...la la la la la...

Enjoyable & educational cruise - We purchased our tickets a day in advance & arrived at the departure location early to ensure we could find parking before the lot was full. At first it threatened to rain but then the sun came out just in time for an enjoyable cruise with friends. The tour guide is in costume & spoke in both English & French. He gave lots of historical information on the Quebec province & its role in historical events. Look up the maple syrup heist on Netflix.
I would definitely do it again if I revisit the area in the future.

Viewing Fall leaves alongside the river's edge was beautiful! - The cruise was very relaxing. We booked our cruise during October and watching the changing of the Fall leaves was just beautiful! Staff on board were pleasant and helpful.

A very nice cruise along the river to Montmorency Falls - A large vessel utilized for this sight seeing tour along the St. Lawrence seaway to Montmorency falls, just north of Quebec City. There’s food service on board as well as a bar. The tour was very well narrated in both French and English. Friendly staff and the price was very reasonable. One in our party utilized a wheelchair and the staff was most helpful in getting us on board.

Not Worth the Effort - I expected a more personalized experience than a big ferry ride. The narration was interesting, so maybe the timing was poor because I'd had an excellent tour the day before. The ferry wasn't close enough to take very good pictures, so it was an expensive crowded ride.
