The guide and tour was great and the island was pretty cute. That said, the nougat factory was a bit underwhelming everything else was very positive!

Jean Francois was a great guide and driver! Very personable and outgoing. We hit four stops- a chocolate factory, a nougat factory, a cider house, and a vineyard/winery. All stops were nice, but fairly short. At the chocolate place, there was no where to even sit- we just stood and ate 3 chocolate samples. No water or drink was offered at that time, although there was a small coffee bar where you could purchase a beverage. Overall, this was a very nice tour and a good way to see the highlights of Ile d’Orleans.

This was a great day trip if you want to experience the delicacies of the island. Jean-Pierre was quite funny and attentive too. Overall it was a great time.

We loved this tour of Ile d’Orleans! Even on a snowy day in the winter, we were able to safely visit all of the listed locations with a very friendly and informative host. We would highly recommend for a visit to Quebec!

It was a perfectly timed out trip, with just the right amount of food, fun, and history. And it wasn't too long, so we could enjoy more of Quebec on our own before and after, but with some great snacks and experience under our belts. Our guide (Jean Francois) was knowledgeable and funny. Maybe the price was a little high if you only consider the food, but when you wrap in the transportation to and around the island, it was right.

Fun tour that is 100% with your money. We had Celine and she was 10/10! She provided historical information and even jokes along the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Enthusiastic driver and welcoming businesses, it was a grey day with sleet but we still had a great time.

Excellent bus driver and delightful agri/taste experiences. Deliciious chocolate, cider and vinegar, and wonderful people on the island. Well worth the tour.

This was a fantastic experience! Everyone enjoyed this activity and this was mainly due to the guide’s personality and competence. Jean-Francois (the guide) is very knowledgeable, fun and funny lol. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting QC. We were also able to purchase the products we fancied and many of the tasting stops made great backgrounds for our photos :)

Our guide, Jean-Francois was excellent; energetic, funny and informative. The tour itself could have been better. The chocolate stop was a store with samples of 3 chocolates. The cidery and winery were good. The tour would be immensely improved if the nougat or chocolate stop was replaced by a cheese stop.
