Half-Day Trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré from Quebec

Great experience. It was snowing early that morning. My wife and I had lunch by Chic Shack just a few steps from the meeting place. First tasted poutine for lunch. Corn soup to go with it. Light snow was drizzling.We were waiting at the designated location by 12:30pm. The bus has been waiting for us all along. The trip was worth more than I expected. We checked out a copper art place where we got to see how their art is actually made as designed by the artist Albert Gilles. and continued on by the family. Also, checked out a chocolate house. We spent more time at the Montmorency Falls and the St. Anne de Beaupre Basilica Church. The driver was very informative and very knowledgeable of the area. He lived in the area. Plenty of time for taking photos and videos of the places. The day went by so fast. It was already dark by 4:30pm. We were dropped off by the same place by the Chateau Frontenac. Perfect timing.

This was a very enjoyable afternoon, the driver guild was very informative.The stops were well organised with enough time to visit the locations.

The falls were breathtaking and the church and surrounding grounds were beautiful...great tour! The tour guide was very informative.

Our guide wasn't the best..........not much commentary, he was basically just a driver to get us to the various places we were visiting. It was like a self-guided tour. The Chocolatiere Factory was just a tourist stop to purchase chocolate.......no factory in operation, unfortunately. The Copper Museum was interesting and the woman there gave a nice description of the work they do and how they do it. The visit to the Ste-Ann-de-Beaupre was awesome, though we didn't have much time to explore there. Motomorency Falls was a bit of a disappointment, but it was nice to see............wouldn't take the tour again.

Tour was excellent with helpful commentary on communities, falls, and cathedral. Despite the falls being over crowded, they were well worth the visit. The visit to the cathedral was excellent. October 8, the day of our visit was an excellent time to see the foliage changing.

The 5 hour trip was fantastic and Marcel was a very good guide. The falls are spectacular and the basilica of Saint Anne de Beaupre is a stunning piece of 20th century architecture. The Isle d'Orleans was very interesting and showed an unexpected piece of Canada. The visit to the chocolate factory and shop was a waste of time.

Great day trip from the city got to see a lot .Our 61/2 hour tour turned into 71/2 due to people being late ! But it was great because we liked the extra time.

Visit to the falls was good but as other people have stated they need to allow more time at tthe fall. Didn't have enough time to ride to top and get back down before the bus was to leave. Bus could spend less time in other spots.

We had an enjoyable day visiting Montmorency Falls and the surrounding area, including the lovely Ste Anne de Beaupre church. Our driver/guide was both informative and entertaining. This was a good choice for us to see the beautiful country outside of Quebec City.

We enjoyed this half day trip and just wished we could have spent more than 1 hour at the falls since we climbed up and then down the stairs :)
