Overview

This is a 13-hour day trip run by Concord Tours and Travel, leaving Montreal at 7:00am and returning around 8:00pm. The bus heads first to Montmorency Falls Park, where admission is covered and a one-way cable car ride is included when the cable car is running. From there the day shifts to Old Quebec, with a guided walking tour and free time in the old quarter.

The afternoon is built around a sightseeing cruise with Croisières AML, which runs May through October and is included in the price. In winter, January to March, the entry fee for the Ice Hotel is covered instead. Between stops you get short visits to Quartier Petit Champlain, Place Royale, the Château Frontenac and the Notre-Dame Basilica Cathedral, roughly half an hour each.

It suits travellers who want Quebec City's highlights in one organized day from Montreal without driving or parking themselves. Hotel pickup and drop-off within 5km of the departure point is complimentary.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in reviews of this tour, and they are worth knowing before booking a 13-hour day.

Long day, early start. The bus leaves at 7:00am and returns around 8:00pm. Several reviewers called it a long day and said to be prepared for the full schedule, and some felt an hour at the falls was not enough time.
Hills and stairs. Reviewers note lots of stairs and hills in Old Quebec, with some flat ground as well. At the falls, one traveller described climbing stairs to get close to the water, so comfortable shoes matter.
Rain jacket for the falls. Pack something waterproof if you plan to go near the water or up to the top.
Food is on you. Food and drink are not included, so budget for meals and snacks across the long day. Several reviewers spent their free time in Old Quebec at cafes and restaurants.
Cruise or city time. Opinions on the cruise split. Some found it relaxing and worth it, while others said there is not much to see and preferred extra time exploring the old city.
Large group logistics. The tour runs with up to 50 travellers.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems or for pregnant travellers. Infants must sit on laps. One reviewer reported a dispute over pickup communication via an overseas phone number. Another said the cable car was charged as extra on arrival despite being listed as included, and that riding down to the base of the falls used up the one-way pass. The cruise divides opinion. The operator can cancel for weather or low traveller numbers, offering a different date or a full refund in those cases.
