8 Day Trips in Quebec City That Live Up to the Photos

1.Half-Day Trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré from Quebec city

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,718 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $70Our pick

Travel by coach from Old Quebec to Montmorency Falls, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica, Île d’Orléans, Albert Gilles Copper Art, and a local chocolatier. Guides such as Martin and Daniel add history and humor. The four-and-a-half-hour route covers a lot, but time at the falls and basilica can feel short.

“Even though the tour says it’s to visit the falls we went there last and late in the day when the sun had set during the winter so very little light. I don’t know why we didn’t go there first or at least leave earlier in the day instead of 12:30 since the tour we took is during the winter with early sunset. Also a little concerning that the guide was also the driver. No sure how safe it is to have a driver of a big bus to also act as a guide. We had no issues but it was a little concerning.”
