    My wife and I enjoyed the two hour walking to with HQ Services immensely! Our guide, Tommy, was…read morepersonable, friendly, very knowledgeable of Quebec history, and kept our group entertained the whole time. The tour itself begins near the waterfront and winds through the cobblestoned streets of Old Town, with amazing 18th century architecture the whole time. Although there are formidable, steep hills on the tour, don't worry! The transition to the fortified area is a blast, as a ride up the funiculaire is included in the tour, so the walk ends up being very relaxed, even if you're not a hill climber. My iPhone told me afterwards we walked a total of about 1.5mi. (2.4km). The tour ends near the Notre Dame cathedral, where we were turned loose to explore on our own We had a great time. HQ also rents e-bikes, although we passed on them. That was a little too daring for us senior citizens . I highly recommend HQ for a wonderful easy paced walking tour of this historic and fascinating city.

He is a lifelong Quebecer and demonstrated pride with every point of interest throughout the full two hours. He had us fully engaged and excited to hear everything he had to say. We were lucky to have Denis as our guide and you will be too if you are assigned to him. Do not forget to tip!

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

We stopped at the historical church of Basilique Saints-Anne-de Beaupre, the beautiful waterfall of Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, which was my favorite of the stops, a copper artisan shop (which I could have done without), and a charming chocolate shop in Ile D'Orleans which I loved. Our tour guide, Allen, was wonderful. He was full of knowledge, as his family is from the country side where he took us to, easy to listen to, and funny. The single deck bus was clean and comfortable. Each of the stops had clean restrooms. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to kill some time, learn a little history, and want to see the countryside, I recommend this tour, particularly with Allen as the tour guide.

We didn't expect four stops with just about 40 minutes left for each of the two places we really wanted to visit. The trip to the island was a surprise but it was just to see an ice cream / chocolate shop. Surely there were more things to see on the island. The copper demonstration was also a surprise. The artist was lovely and the cooper beautiful but is is definitely not something we were interested in. Another reviewer said cut this from the tour - I agree. I would have rather spent more time at St Anne's. The falls weren't as promised. The cable cars weren't running and the paths were still closed. So we viewed the falls from quite a distance. They should have told us the cable cars weren't operative. Very disappointing to say the least. St Anne's was lovely. We arrived just as mass started which was odd - we sat and joined services for a bit so we wouldn't disrupt the congregation. We should have arrived before or after mass not during mass. We had a car and could have saved $110 plus the bus driver tip and driven the short 15 - 20 minute drive ourselves. The falls and St Anne's are about 10 minutes apart. For the falls we would have parked at the top and walked across the bridge at the top (which was open) rather than view the falls from a block or two away. For the church, we would have arrived before mass so we could have walked around without disturbing the parishioners. If you don't have a car - this tour permits you to see St Anne's and the falls but I would make sure the cable cars are working (we were told they are closed until mid to late June 2023). Alternatively, if you don't have a car - I encourage you to check into uber. You could probably spend less for the three car rides and spend more time at St Anne's and at the Falls.

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.

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!

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. Thank you Cyclo staff for a epic trip!

He spoke English the while time which wasn't his first language but he did awesome! It was super appreciated parce que malgré que mon français n'est pas si pire malheureusement mon chum comprend très peu. There was an expected tip with this service as well...which i was more than happy to accommodate because of how awesome our guide and horse were...but i ended up leaving 20$ as a tip and i'm not sure if that was cheap or not but i hope it conveyed how happy we were with the service. I should have just asked him what he normally gets tipped. We learned so much about the city and saw so many things we can't wait to go back and discover more of! As a funny anecdote: when the ride was over the driver said "there are so many flEAs today" which being bilingual i immediately understood to be "flIEs" but mispronounced due to the language barrier and thought nothing more of it...i later found out my boyfriend understood it literally as FLEAS lol and being that we had our dog with us he avoided the horse for the rest of the time we were there lol!! All in all awesome, appreciated, amazing experience that i can't wait to repeat...in Vieux Québec and here at home in Mtl.
