Fantastic Isle d’ Orleans
This was a magical day!! Yves, our guide, was extremely flexible so we stopped for syrup tasting, jam tasting, iced apple cider and maple candies. We enjoyed the bronze installations of the Stations of the Cross at the Basilica of St Anne of Beaupre…..quite a beautiful work of art gifted by France. Yves was a lot of fun and very thoughtful of our needs. Just a marvelous day😊!!

Fantastic day out of the city
Fantastic day out of the city. Yves greeted us at the cruise port just after docking. We visited Montmorency Falls, both the bottom and the top. Yves told us the history and lore of the area. He also took some fantastic photos of us, proving my husband & I were both at the falls at the same time! We then drove around the Isle of Orleans learning the areas history while visiting farms and a chocolate shop. Overall an excellent day.

Montmorency Falls and Isle of Orleans

Perfect 3 hour morning tour
Our guide Audrey was a local with thorough knowledge of the area and its history. Our original guide Yves was not available so she was able to step in for him. The falls were very majestic. We stopped at the bottom for pictures then she drove us up to the top where we were able to walk the path then the bridge going over the falls. The beautiful fall colors enhanced the experience. We then toured the Isle of Orleans with several stops; we one at an orchard where they made many products for sale and a chocolate shop.

Private tour of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.
How much does Private tour of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $256 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 of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls?
+
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 of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls?
+
Around 8 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour of the Isle of Orleans and Montmorency Falls start and how do I get there?
+

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.
