This is a family run business, they are so friendly and so kind. I was not able to get my car up the hill due to the snow, so they walked down the hill then brought my car up for me while I was getting ready. They also let you try pure maple syrup. Additionally, they let you switch drivers ever 45 min! I’ve never had a tour with such a friendly group of guides and I highly recommend it!

I believe this is a MUST do on your visit to Quebec. If possible, on your first day there! You get history lesson, but an interesting one :) She’ll recommend things too so and see before you leave including the best restaurants.
