Paul was a wonderful guide and the tour is family friendly and fun for all. It was during lunch hours without a lunch stop but we got a free snack and got some ideas for a late lunch from the tour itself. If you have small kids that need an actual meal I would pack one.

Great place to visit with Christmas markets all around. The weather nice a crisp! Cold! Food fantastic but make reservations before you! Dog sledding was awesome! Hotel 71 was in the middle of shops and a very nice hotel! I recommend them highly!

Our guide was great. It was an informative walking tour of the city with a ride on the Funicular, tickets for the Toboggan ride and ice skating. Good time but with it being the holidays the Toboggan line was so long we skipped it. Tried to come back later in the evening on our own with the tickets given during the tour but the line was still over an hour. If you are willing to wait it’s fine I guess. It would be nice if the tickets provided with the package gave you some type of skip the line opportunity but I don’t think that exists for the line. Other than that it was a good time and worth the price. Hot chocolate provided.
Excellent

Guide was very knowledgeable with the history of the city and area. It was very cold that day and standing in line (even though we had thermals, sweater, thick jeans, coat, gloves and hat) our toes became really sore. Unfortunately this package doesn’t come with any fast passes or anything so you do have to wait in the line with everyone else. Also please note that there isn’t a lift to go up the hill. It’s a steep climb with wire on either side.
Great winter fun!

This is amazing winter fun, our tour guide Paul was fantastic and very knowledgeable about Quebec City. What makes it great for tourists is you get to ride the toboggan, funicular, ferry, and ebike in the most pristine winter environment. The manager of bike shop Marc even had coffee waiting for us when we returned, my son and I really enjoyed!
