4.Quebec City: Old Town and Montmorency Falls Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 820 reviews · 3 hours · from $39

Start near Château Frontenac for a three-hour small-bus tour through Upper and Lower Old Quebec, the Plains of Abraham, Parliament, and Montmorency Falls. Guides such as Jeff, Jean Francois, Celine, and Dan combine French and English commentary with local stories. You will have about 45 to 60 minutes at the falls, including time for the footbridge and photos.

“We thought that this was a walking tour followed by a bus tour. As a result, we were looking for a tour guide at the park. The dot icon showing in both Google Maps and Apple Maps is in the park, not the bus lane across the street. Please update your location description to put that people are to meet a bus in the bus lane with the bus’ name. Please also adjust the maps’ icon. Once someone called us at 9:53, we saw the bus. We were standing in the park across from it, crossed and then got on. The tour guide was charming, knowledgeable, and friendly.”
