Our family visited Montreal for summer vacation and booked this boat tour through Fever. Overall,…read morewe had a great experience. Pros: * The boat was spacious, clean, and well maintained. * There was a good selection of food and drinks. * The staff was friendly and welcoming. * The tour guide was excellent, and we enjoyed learning about the history of Montreal during the cruise. Cons: * The food and beverage areas appeared to be understaffed, which resulted in longer wait times. * I wish the cruise had traveled farther or stopped at different locations so guests could get off and explore. I would gladly pay more for a longer experience with additional stops. Overall, I would still rate this experience 5 out of 5. The positives far outweighed the minor drawbacks, and the boat tour was a memorable part of our family vacation in Montreal.

The communication back and forth with the main officie was timely and complete and we agreed to a 3 hour tour. Robert, our guide, met us at the dock- right on time. He called my cell when he arrived so we walked off the ship and he was waiting. He have an overview of the "normal" tour and asked if we wanted any modifications. We had one person in the group with some movility issues, and he made accomodations throughout the tour to accomodate her needs. We began the walk down near the dock. Robert was very knowledgable and personable throughout the day. He addressed our questions about the history and built upon topics that we asked questions about. There was not the pressure to visit certain shops or restaurants that you sometimes have from local guides- much appreciated! We thought the tour was one of the hghlights of our entire trip. Great job by STFE,

Yves Tardif opened the door to Quebec City! I always…read moreknew that there was another city in the province of Quebec other the Montreal, but I had never traveled to Quebec City until this September. It was worth the trip in no small part because of Yves Tardif. I could have seen its historic architecture and sampled the delightful food without his assistance, but Yves provided the narrative. He told us of the story of the founding of Quebec City and of its key role as the initial capital of the province of Quebec. He provided us with not only the political and military history of the city, but also the cultural development of the city, especially within the last fifty years. I learned about the role of the various organizations within the Catholic Church in the development of Quebec City and its continuing role in its daily life. He has a delightful sense of humor, and chats without lecturing. He made the city come alive!

On MARCH 1 we booked a JULY 12, 2024 11:30am Quebec City tour with Local Food Tours and received…read moreconfirmation with instruction to arrive 15 minutes early at Restaurant La Buche, 49 Rue Saint Louis. On July 10 at 12:23pm we received an email message that our tour was being cancelled "due to circumstances out of our (the tour company's) control." The company asked if we would be available on July 11 or July 13 for rebooking (we were NOT available). Less than one hour later (1:09pm to be exact) we received another email stating "You can disregard my previous email. I was able to find a solution." We responded, "Thank you. We will plan on our original reservation." On the day of the scheduled event (July 12, 20024) we arrived early at the restaurant for our 11:30am tour. At 11:22am, seeing neither a tour representative nor other tour participants, I telephone the tour company but only got an answering machine message, spoke in French (which I could not understand). At 11:29am I sent an email to the tour company stating, "We are waiting at La Buche but see no guide. Please confirm today's tour is planned as originally scheduled." Around the same time we learned from the guide of a different food tour group (but with the same tour company) that the starting point of our tour had apparently been changed. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED !!! At 1:10pm I finally received a call from a company representative who apologized for the situation. Our travel plans did not allow us to "reschedule" the tour, and by this time our disappointment and frustration at having been "stood up" led us to demand an immediate refund of the tour payment. We had believed this food tour would be a true HIGH POINT of our visit to Quebec City. Instead, it became a COMPLETE DISASTER. We have traveled to many places internationally over several decades and never, ever experienced such a failure to communicate

The fee to ride is now $7 which we were prepared to pay in US dollars (which they accept 1:1) but now they take credit cards which is even better. There was very little wait and there are 2 cabins capable of taking passengers. Worth doing it at least once.

This is a definite tourist gimmick…read more The Funiculaire in Quebec City is a short but historic vertical railway that connects the Upper Town, to the Lower Town, of Quartier Petit-Champlain. This is sometimes an essential mode of transport that allows for the navigation of the steep terrain to the lower town. When the weather is not bitterly cold and ice in abundance on the walkway, you can honestly walk down but given it was my first time in this part of Montreal, I needed to give this a woohoo whirl. $3 for a ride each way is steep for the 20 second ride. Even though it might make sense on a really chilly day in Montreal I'd say skip the ride in both directions. Going downhill is definitely easier so if you are up top, just walk down. There was nobody else wanting to take the cab up or down when I went, probably because most everyone else just walked the path on the day I went. At minimum it was efficient and easy to get in the cab.

We couldn't find anywhere near the city that rented proper motorcycles, so I looked into scooters! Quebec adventure tours was perfect. The guy who signed us in was a hoot. Spoke English as well as French, and he was funny! He did a perfect job of introducing us to the scooters (we've never ridden automatics before!) One of my favorite things is that he did a perfect job of balancing the fun of riding with the responsibilities and dangers. He didn't scare the new people, but made sure they understood how to stay safe and have a healthy respect for the bikes. The scooters were 50ccs (a fair bit smaller than my Kawasaki 1700!!) They were tons of fun. We toured around the island for about 4 hours. We'd driven the island many times before, but seeing it at a slower pace without the frame of a car around us was amazing. We got to see the island in a whole new light. I highly recommend seeing the island by scooter or electric bike, and I highly recommend Quebec Adventure Tours! A solid 5 stars!

Francois was beyond friendly, gave us a route around the island, taught us how to use our Stand-Up scooters (DEFINITELY recommend going this route, it was so much fun), and sent us off. We stopped for the FRESHEST strawberries we have ever had. Absolutely unreal and we scarfed them down in minutes. $6/pint and $1 waters! Then we roamed the island and took in the beauty of the neighbourhoods and island views. There are public washrooms everywhere, just look for the little blue sign! We stopped at Cassis Monna et Filles for the best sangria I've ever had, on a serene hill with beautiful views and picnic tables or FatBoy cushions to lounge on and enjoy the surroundings. Our last stop was the Nougat store just up the road, where we got salted caramel nougat (my fav) and pistachio nougat. Could not recommend this more, and definitely looking forward to coming back again!

We reserved ahead but staff were flexible when our plans unfortunately had to change (I rode a single the first week when my partner couldn't get away). Staff went all out to make sure we had a wonderful visit. Cyclo provided well-fitting helmets, a lock, and bungie cords. Cycling is a great way to see this beautiful part of the world.

The bikes were great, but where this shop really shines is the service. The staff was just incredibly friendly. We had stopped by the day before to make sure they had availability, and they took the initiative and got our bikes set up for the next day before we showed up. We were ready to go in minutes. Every single person that works here was helpful and welcoming. If you're considering renting bikes in Quebec, this is the place.
