The trip takes you up as far as the Montmerency Falls but you are not that close to them on the river so if you want to see them best go there. But we enjoyed the trip and the guide’s commentary. Drinks and food available on board, more proxy than in town but the chicken wrap I had was huge and very tasty.

Great new perspective from the river. The guide was energetic and encouraging to our questions. The view of the falls was dramatic.

The tour guide was very good/informative and the boat was comfortable. Just felt the tour was a bit boring and having a hard time describing why.

Staff were very helpful. Reservation was easily made. We were lucky with the weather. The narration on board was excellent.

Easy to find, good signage, check in for your tickets before getting in line. Relaxing way to visit the falls and see Quebec City.

This was just ok. The ship noise is so loud you can not hear what the guide was saying. The scenery was pretty, but not worth what we paid.

Boring, the speaker's voice was not audible, sailing too far from land so we couldn't see much. Not worth the price paid

The tourguide narating the tour was very infomative and interesting. He provided much more insight than I was expecting. The boat was well equiped with staff and food & drinks for purchase. It was a wonderful way to experience & learn a bit more about QC by getting out on the water and not spending all day on a tour. Highly recommend!
