This was the perfect experience to visit the falls in the comfort (AC or Heat) of a tour bus. Yves brought us to the top of the falls, gave us great historical information throughout the whole ride - including jokes! I enjoyed the ride through the villages and learning about the architectural homes. We did a quick stop at the copper museum before going to St-Anne. We ended the trip at the chocolaterie in Isle d’Orleans before returning home. Great tour, did not have to use our own truck, informative and a great family outing

We selected this tour as we wanted to see the Falls, Orleans and the church and we did not want to drive ourselves. The Falls were excellent and we had enough time to walk the bridge and see the falls from several angles. The Il de Orleans was a nice drive, the chocolate shop was a little crowded but the hot chocolate was light drinking melted chocolate bar.

The tour was really nice and they are very accommodating. We missed our original booking because we were late but they still honored it and allowed us to go on the tour the next day. I just wish we had more time on The island and on the falls and just totally skid the Copper Museum Tour.
