The trip was entertaining, the driver stopped on our way there and on the way back to give us a bathroom break. The tour lady in Quebec was awesome, she fluently spoke multiple languages simultaneously and had great knowledge of the city and world history; very nice trip 😊

Our day trip to Quebec City was absolutely amazing! It's the perfect day trip from Montreal and I highly commend our chauffeur Serge for getting us to and from Quebec City safely. We stayed in Old Town and was picked up by a van and met the rest of the group prior to the start of our tour. Katia, our local guide from Quebec is a true gem! She's fun, accomodating, and knowledgeable about the rich history of Quebec. She spoke English, French, and Spanish throughout our tour, giving everyone the opportunity to understand her better and learn about the beauty of the charming Quebec city! The stop at Montmorency falls was about 30 minutes and it was enough time to take pictures. The Chateau Frontenac was definitely a highlight of this trip. You can take the funicular, however we decided to walk as it provided us a great opportunity to explore! We were given enough free time to eat and shop! I highly recommend this trip! Thank you, Gray Line Montreal for the topnotch service!
