Starting priceCA$450Taxes included. Gratuities not included.
Overview
Old Quebec and Montmorency Falls
Explore the historic heart of Quebec City with a private guided experience combining driving and walking in Old Quebec, then continue to Montmorency Falls for its essential panoramic viewpoints. All Old Quebec activities remain part of the experience. Because the full tour lasts 3 hours, the falls portion focuses on the most rewarding sights rather than time-consuming optional activities.
This experience preserves the intimate discovery of Old Quebec: stone houses, fortified walls, small squares, panoramic terraces and local stories. It then adds a carefully paced visit to Montmorency Falls, with time for the main viewpoints and photos without turning the 3-hour tour into a rushed checklist.
Each visit is fully personalized. The Old Quebec portion continues to combine driving and walking according to the group’s pace. The guide then selects the most efficient route to Montmorency Falls, focusing on panoramic lookouts, the bridge area when timing allows, and photo stops. The optional cable car, panoramic staircase, zipline and via ferrata are not planned in this 3-hour format because they require more time.
