Fantastic overview and experience - Our guide Jeff was super knowledgeable about all of Quebec. Great information; all the stops and food tasting were enjoyable! It was a great overview of the Ile d’Orleans in case we wanted to return there!

Enjoyed the Quebecoise countryside while sampling local taste treats! - I thoroughly enjoyed everything. Little samples...chocolates and wine were the best. Small group with an entertaining tour/driver.

Great way to see Ils de Orléans - Fun afternoon tour of Ils de Orléans. Tour guide Jeff was happy and fun as he drove us to a chocolate shop, winery, cider maker, and nougat shop while touring the island. All had tasting samples for us and there was no pressure to buy anything. Along the way Jeff talked about the island and various things we passed. He also stopped the bus and bought some strawberries from a roadside stall for us to taste while travelling. They were great. The group was small and the bus comfortable. The tour lasted about 3.5 hours. Very enjoyable.

A great foodie experience for our sisters trip! - Jeff was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. It was a good opportunity to see some of the countryside outside the city and Jeff provided interesting commentary along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops and the samples, and the hosts at each site were very welcoming. We highly recommend the trip.

Great experience, totally worth its Award - Really one of the best food tours I could do. Quite a few stops, lots of tasting, meeting with local artisans and farmers, and very fast in transport. Another good point: we are on a group of truly human size, far from the huge tourist buses that roam Quebec City.
+ Our Guide Jeff (Jean-François) was excellent, full of humor and anecdotes, and passionate about History. He answered all our questions and put a real good mood in the group.

Not worth the time it took or money we spent.. - The bus went too fast to take in views or take photos. I thought we would see some beautiful countryside. It was more like going on someone else's errands.

Island of Orleans Taste and Drink tour - underwhelming - This trip was very underwhelming. The taste included al bite of chocolate and nougats. The drink tour included 2 stops for wine tastings. One stop provided a decent wine sampling while another was hardly a tasting. The tour guide provided jokes, but gave minimal commentary of the Island of Orleans. The next day we went on the half day trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre. This tour also took us to the Island of Orleans and the tour guide provided in-depth valuable information of the island.
