"Thank you for an amazing 4-day guided tour to Quebec City! I can't believe how much we saw and experienced in such a short time. From walking through Old Quebec — which truly felt like Europe — to visiting Montmorency Falls, cider tasting, and exploring the iconic Château Frontenac, every stop was unforgettable. We even made it to the boardwalk and Île d’Orléans!"
