    Sit on top and enjoy the ride

    A+ experience.

    Bring a poncho/raincoat. Do not open umbrellas. Umbrellas are useless on the 2nd level😁. Had a great time.

    One hour intro tour of the city

    This was not the hop on hop off bus tour. It was a one hour tour with no stops. Perfect introduction to the city. There was no live guide but that didn't matter. Many language options on the audio. We highly recommend.

    The best tour guide Antoine St-Pierre

    We had an absolutely amazing experience with this company, and what makes it even more special is that it started as a complete disaster! Our hotel concierge gave us the wrong information, so we ended up waiting for the bus in the wrong location for hours and completely missed our tour. While we were waiting, we happened to meet a tour guide from the same company who was walking home after work. His name was Antoine Saint-Pierre, and we recognized the company logo on his hat and T-shirt. We started talking to him, and Antoine was absolutely incredible. Even though he was already off the clock, he took the time to help us figure out where we needed to go, how to reschedule our tour, and where to catch the bus the next day. He truly went above and beyond to help complete strangers. And it didn’t stop there. The next day, the manager and our bus driver were also absolutely wonderful. What started as a frustrating and disappointing day turned into one of the highlights of our trip. Sometimes the best part of traveling isn’t the tour itself, but the people you meet along the way. Antoine reminded us that there are still genuinely kind people who will go out of their way to help others, even when they don’t have to. Antoine, you deserve a raise! Or better yet, you should be managing this company! 😊 At the very least, I hope your manager knows how valuable you are. Thank you to Antoine, the manager, the driver, and the entire team for turning a disaster into a beautiful experience. We will remember the tour, but we will remember the kindness even more. ❤️

    Great Experience! Clean, Easy and Fun

    This was a fantastic way to see the city and get around as we were trying to decide where and how to spend our time. It's clean, comfortable, and perfect on these great summer days in Quebec City. We did this early in our trip and learned where we wanted to go back and spend time later in the week. They provide earbuds with recorded information of each area. Generally interesting and nice. 1.5- 2 hours rountrip if you don't get off. Do this the first time! CRITICAL NOTE: Buy your ticket in advance on Trip Advisor and have the receipt when you first get on the bus. They will NOT sell you tickets as you onboard and it holds up everything.

    Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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 Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 189 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 Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour?

    +

    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 Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour?

    +

    Around 66 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour 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 Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour?

    +

    The bus will be written Unitours and Quebec Tours on it. Please note that departures at 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm are located across the street of Clarendon Hotel located at 57 rue Sainte-Anne, Qc, G1R 3X4 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Quebec City: Double Decker Express Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
