    Nice tour, would recommend

    If you want to travel to Quebec from Montreal, this is a great way to do it. The added boat tour was a plus and our guide was very good. The driver was the nicest person ever and ensured our safety to and from. Would definitely recommend

    Pathetic Trip

    Don’t do it, it’s not worth the money, it cost you money to get to there pick up point and on your return at night they drop you off at the same place and it’s impossible to find a raxi

    We expected a better tour experience

    We selected English as our preferred language for the tour. Although the tour guide seemed knowledgeable about the history and development of Quebec City, he was not a native English speaker, so we had a lot of trouble understanding what he was saying. In addition, we were assigned seats at the back of the bus, and discovered that both sides of the windows were blocked by large stickers that prevented us from looking out at areas being pointed by the guide. We feel that we didn't get the same experience that other people got, like those who were assigned unblocked windows, or those assigned a native English-speaking guide. We won't be booking through Tripadvisor in the future.

    Great Quebec City tour

    It's definitely worth doing this activity. It was well organized & except for the downpour of rain, it was a perfect day. 5*

    Bus Issue to start, but it all worked out.

    The bus had an engine issue 30 Minutes into the trip. Fortunately the itinerary had a one hour food and bathroom stop scheduled halfway to Quebec City. So we used that while 3 smaller private shuttle buses were dispatched. Luckily we were still close to Montreal and this only put us 30 Minutes off schedule. It all worked out but was a bit of bad luck and maintenance on their part.

    From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.

    Is From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 344 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip?

    +

    Around 120 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Montreal: Quebec City & Montmorency Falls Full Day Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montreal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, The Original Old Montréal Walking Tour by Guidatour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montreal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montreal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
