The package was good especially joining the cruise. King was a very helpful and responsive trip director.

Only One Hour in Quebec City
For a 13-hour excursion to Quebec City, I expected more than a one-hour tour of only a few streets in Quebec itself. The falls were pretty, but we didn't need to be there for 90 minutes. The boat tour was relaxing, but I would not recommend it. Those activities prevented us from having time to enjoy Quebec itself. Lesson learned!

It was like being in...
It was like being in Europe. The bus was great and everything was on time. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable.

A great way to see Quebec...
A great way to see Quebec City from Montreal. The tour company was very good, very organized. lt was great having the pick up and dropped off at our hotel. I really liked the way things were communicated from their office about the time of pick up and who will pick us up and their contact information. Jiang was on time for our pick up. Carolina the guide was pretty good and Francois was a good driver.

Excellent Trip
This was a great trip. Long day but you know that going on. The coordination of the hotel pickup was good, Rebecca, the guide, was great, the driver was great. I loved the waterfalls and Quebec City was beautiful. Also, definitely recommend splurging on the river cruise. It was so relaxing and wonderful. Honestly, a good time all around.

Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise 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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 915 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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise?
+
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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise 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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise?
+
Around 320 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 Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise 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, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. 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.
What is included in Full-Day Quebec City Tour plus Sightseeing Cruise?
