This is an excellent tour with an excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable, personable and pleasant. The falls and the basilica are worth the visit even on a chilly day.
Amazing tour guide

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun to to listen to. The beauty of the waterfall and the all downhill hike with lots of spots to pull over for pictures. We also had some amazing treats at the end.

It was a nice tour of the town, then it was off to see the waterfall. It was about 1 mile walk down the hill in nature to get back to the bus. The bus held 10-15 guests,
Great trip

Denis was a very good guide who shared his h owl edge of Saguenay with us. The trip was interesting. You need to be active to walk the mile along the gorge from the waterfall back to the bus. Beautiful scenery

We had an excellent guide named Dennis. It was very convenient because the meeting place was right beside the cruise port. It was a beautiful hike, nice pace, and he gave us delicious treats at the end of our hike.

This was an amazing, must do tour. The tour operator is two minutes outside of the dock where the ship arrives. We took the 2 1/2 hour city and waterfall tour. I believe there are two tours per day. We took the later one and still made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. It was a nice small, clean 24 seat van. We don’t like doing large bus tours (50+ passengers) as it takes too long to get people on and off and there’s always some selfish person coughing all over everybody!. The small van was ideal! Drove around the town for a little bit and then drove out to the waterfalls. Our tour guide Marie, was amazing! She was funny and informative and was one of the best tour guides I’ve toured with. I also loved her French accent! I highly recommend this tour. There is very little to do tour wise in Saguenay. Five stars!
Great hike to the waterfall

A small group tour in Saguenay. At 2 1/2 hours, a perfect length with driving time approx 30 minutes total. Our guide was well prepared, high energy and very entertaining. The short waterfall hike was very beautiful, all downhill along the canyon on a boardwalk or well maintained trail. There were some steps to navigate, so we couldn't take our 2 year old's stroller. Highly recommended and would love to return.
Great Hike and City Tour

Great hike with our guide Dennis. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable. It is a beautiful area and finding the pickup location right next to the port building was very easy. Highly recommended.
