    We enjoyed the itinerary...

    We enjoyed the itinerary of this excursion, and Adam worked diligently to ensure that we had a great experience. We appreciated his conscientiousness and affable demeanor and would definitely recommend the tour.

    Highly recommend!!

    Great experience for myself and my 80 y/o mother. Loved that we could customize our itinerary and Adam was kind and courteous! He knew great spots to suggest on Orleans and the best part was arriving at the falls early before the bus tours. He picked us up at the cruise port and took time to stop at scenic spots for some great pics!

    Itinerary was good but...

    Itinerary was good but should not start at 1:30 pm this late in the season as many sites close early and we were not able to visit. Guide was very good.

    Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $585 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quebec City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Quebec City is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island?

    +

    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 Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island?

    +

    Around 10 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 Quebec City 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 Quebec City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island 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 Quebec City 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 Quebec City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quebec City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular, Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour. 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 Quebec City?

    +

    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 Quebec City?

    +

    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 Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Snacks; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Private Tour Montmorency Falls, Basilica & Orleans Island offered in?

    +
