This was a lovely trip. I wish we had been given a little more time at the falls so that we didn’t have to rush to the top with no time to stop for photos and enjoy the views. A shorter time at Ste Anne and the Copper shop to give more time at falls would be nice.

Our tour included St. Anne de Beaupre, Montmorency Falls, the Copper place and Isle d’Orleans where we got to enjoy the chocolate/ice cream shop. Our driver was Alain and he was fabulous. His knowledge of the various sites is phenomenal and his sense of humour is fabulous. The timing of the tour was great as we had ample time at each stop. We would recommend this tour to everyone even if you know the area as there were many interesting facts shared by our driver.

Our guide, Garry, was very informative and rather humorous!The amount of time allotted at each place was pretty spot on but we would have like a few more minutes at the Copper Studio. We also would have liked a tour that covered more of I’le d’Orleans and made more stops there.
