Cruise on the river! - Excellent guide and trip. Beautiful day to take a cruise. It was very windy and chilly but listening to descriptions took your mind off that.

Worth every penny - Seeing the falls, the St Lawrence and hearing the history of Quebec. We also liked the option of sitting indoors or out.

Nice Boat Trip, Terrible On and Off Boarding Experience - We took this 1.5 hour cruise on a beautiful sunny day in May. The cruise was slow paced and relaxing and it was only about half full so you could walk around from deck-to-deck. The MC provided lots of great information in both French and English.
The downside is that even if you buy a ticket in advance you still have to queue up at the ticket booth to get a physical ticket and the line was long and slow. Upon return to the dock they only had one exit plank so it took 15 minutes to disembark.
Overall a good few hours out on the harbor even if the starting and ending experience are both less than ideal.

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 what I was expecting at all! - It’s hot on fantail, standing room only on covered second deck, could not hear the narration. Best part was getting off the boat. I recommend skipping! Save your money!!
