5.00Easy to get to, easy to show ticket and get on the boat. Lovely river tour with excellent guide speaking in three languages! The drinks aboard are a bit pricey but the tour isn’t long so up to you on if worth it. There is food offered to purchase as well. You can move about the boat and I went all three levels at different points of the tour and there is no bad view. >> You will want good weather for this from the queue to enter to enjoying the outside boat levels.
Cruising the Quebec City harbor for beautiful views.

1.00Could not hear as nearly 100 children talking and moving about the ship numerous times. So upset I wasted my day this way.
