Quebec City Shore Excursion: Quebec City Sightseeing Tour

Quebec City, Canada

Make the most of your time while in port in Quebec City with this 2-hour shore excursion. Soak up the French atmosphere of Old Quebec and visit several historical treasures along the St Lawrence River. You'll be enchanted by the old-world charm and stunning beauty of sites such as Place Royal, the Plains of Abraham and Place d'Armes, and your friendly guide will offer interesting commentary along the way. This is an easy, comfortable way to see the city while in port!

When your cruise ship docks at the Quebec City port, walk a few minutes to the port departure point, where you'll meet your guide to begin your 2-hour sightseeing shore excursion.

Aboard a comfortable coach, soak up from quaint French atmosphere of Old Quebec, the historic heart of French Canada, while hearing interesting stories from your guide about the city's history and culture.

Stop by Place Royale -- what's known as the birthplace of French civilization in North America -- and admire the beautiful Plains of Abraham, where the famous battle between the French and English armies took place in 1759.

Pass by picturesque Place d'Armes and capture photos of the astounding Chateau Frontenac hotel. You'll also see the city walls and learn about their important function centuries ago.

Your bilingual guide will offer commentary in English and French, if there are French passengers on board. After your tour, you'll be taken back to the cruise port.

We had to get our own transportation to the first Meeting place, were transported in a small bus by a grouchy, non helpful man to a second meeting place, and waited in a crowded area for the final tour bus. But that driver and that tour guide were outstanding. I do not understand why the tour bus could not have picked us up at the first meeting place since it was right on the tour. I enjoyed the views and information and would definitely take the tour again.

The first half hour was spent picking up other passengers at various locations. Then we drove around and without stopping, we heard a little bit of info. We didn't! Hear anything about the Champlain statue or park and we didn't stop to get off the bus except for a bathroom break at the fort._br/_ All in all it was a poorly organized trip. We had to walk about a half mile to return to our original starting point._br/_ I would not recommend this to anyone else.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was fantastic..very knowledgable and interesting . A very good all around intro to the city. We only had to walk a short distance from the pier to pick up the bus...but found meeting point very hectic and understaffed. Only disappointment was we had to get on one bus that took us to another spot to pick up our bus and this did take some time away from our tour time.

Half the time was spent picking up and dropping off others in bad traffic. Only time outside bus was behind fence in front of Parliament building (under reconstruction)! No time off bus anywhere in Old City. All pictures from inside bus. Useless and frustrating tour. Poor itinerary.

We were not real pleased with the tour. We arrived at the designated spot and had to wait in the hot sun without any place to sit for about 20-30. When the bus arrived, 10 minutes late, we first saw a new tour bus pull up and we thought it was perfect, but then a second bus pulled up, it looked like a retired, retro-fitted school bus. It was definitely older and had an A/C unit in the middle of the bus which was not real functional. others complained about it being hot. The driver was knowledgeable, but we were not impressed. We were overall disappointed especially when based upon the description we had read prior to purchasing the excursion.

The tour was well orchestrated and the driver was very good. Definitely worth getting an overview of the city.

Good tour for an overview of the city. We walked back to many of the interesting sites to get pictures because there were no opportunities to take pictures without window reflections on the tour bus.

Great trip. Pick-up point at Museum of Civilization was very close to the cruise terminal. The driver/guide was excellent. He was very informative as we drove through the Old Port and Town and then we continued to other areas of Quebec including the beautiful park area of the Plains of Abraham. The driver gave us the choice of leaving us at the top of the Old Town beside the Hotel Chateau Frontenac or returning us to the Museum of Civilization. We choose to leave at the Chateau and were so glad we did. The Chateau was so grand and the walk downsteep in places through the Old Town had a great many old buildings with small individual shops selling a variety of goods.We went in October and most places had Halloween decorations very festive.

Half the time is spent picking up from many different locations. Same at the end for drop-offs. Do the Hop on-Hop off instead

This Bus Tour was very helpful when we arrived in Quebec City to see the highlights and find our way around. We were also given a very thorough history lesson as we were driven around. I would have liked to have stopped for a few minutes at a couple of the special sites, especially for those who were not staying more than a day while on a cruise. We stayed 2 more days in the city so were able to go back to our favorite sites.

Review by:   Mary Ann D,    September 2016 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
Our guide JeanPierre was excellent well versed and knowledgeable. He packed so much information into two hours it was almost overwhelming. He handled a potential unpleasant passenger exchange very professionally. The only negative was the confusion at the start of the tour locating twelve missing clients. There was no signage nor representative where we were told to meet the bus. Very confusing. If your looking for a two hr. City tour with minimal walking, then this is a good choice.

Great overview of Quebec City before walking around yourself, plus you get to see more of the outskirts of the city. Well worth it. Thanks for another great tour Viator!
 

Review by:   Karen P,    September 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
First of all, we had to walk much farther than we were expecting. Then we couldn't get to the museum where we were supposed to meet because of the marathon that was taking place that morning. We had to walk even farther to get to a place where they would allow people to cross through the runners. Then there was no one at the museum to greet us. When an agent showed up, he told us that the bus could not get to the lower part of the city and that we had to take the funicular up to the Hotel and meet the bus there. We also had to pay 2.50 each to ride up to the upper part of the city! There were so many people there a it was hard to find out which bus we were to take. We were glad to get on the bus just so we could rest. This was our first tour with you and it was not the best start.

The bus tour we took in Quebec was definitely a 5 rating. The bus tour guide was excellent and very accomodating.
 

Review by:   Sandy,    August 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
The instructions provided on when to catch the bus were incorrect. The voucher clearly stated 10:30 a.m. We arrived at the specified location by 10:20, and the bus had just pulled away. We were advised that the 10:30 time was not accurate and it reflected when the tour was to begin, not the pick up time for that location. The tour guide quickly contacted his company, and they flagged down another bus to allow us to board and take that tour, even though it was not the bus we should have been on._br/_ Because of this, it is difficult for us to trust Viator for future tours. You should consider tightening up your communication process so that complications do not arise.

As mentioned previously, our pier was miles away, the location difficult to reach for us and the the pickup spot not well marked._br/_ We enjoyed this tour but did not see Chateau Frontenac and the Boardwalk close up as we got on the bus in the lower stop.

The tour and the tour guide/driver were great. He gave us lots of information about the places we were seeing and I felt the tour was very thorough. We were on a cruise ship and were picked up on the street. It was somewhat confusing as to where we were to meet and we were not told that we would be picked up by a van and transported to the bus. There was lots of construction at the museum we were picked up by so that might have added to the confusion. A sign with your name would be very helpful.

Great tour, took us places the Ship Tours did not. However, when coming in by ship it is impossible to verify reservation by phone 24 hours or even 1 hour in advance. Poor instructions as to which tour company and bus was to pick us up. I was looking for a Viator tour bus.

Review by:   Karen H,    October 2014 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
Tour was NOT two hours. After picking up other tour members at other locations, the tour was about one hour and twenty minutes or less in length. If you are able to walk, do Internet research on the places listed on the tour before you are in Quebec City and do a walking tour by yourself OR save yourself $10+ dollars and sign up for the walking tour. Be sure you arrive before the listed starting time for this tour. The tour bus may leave before the appointed start time about which you are not warned.

Unfortunately, we had to miss this tour as my husband was not feeling well. I am sure that it lived up to the other tours we have scheduled with Viator in the past
