Food was great but the music (saxophone) was not as good as the harp. Pls include line dancing with the DJ leading the crowd in one or 2songs during the DJ/dance at the deck. Pls have water available at the deck during dancing time. Pls have some dance instructors or staff to lead /dance with some of the guests ( without partners) to get everyone involved

We had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Jack was our tour leader and he was efficient, knowledgable, friendly, helpful and professional. We visited Montmorency Falls, Quebec City and took a cruise on the river. The cruise was an additional cost but well worth the money. We would highly recommend this tour. The organisation and transport were superb.
