A private tour of Quebec City with a driver lets you see the city and its surroundings at your own pace, in a vehicle reserved for your party only. Montmorency Falls, Île d'Orléans or Old Québec: pick one of our four tours or ask for a custom itinerary.
Your bilingual chauffeur picks you up at your hotel, home or cruise terminal, drives you from stop to stop and brings you back at the agreed time. No parking to find and no bus schedule to keep.

A private Quebec City tour on your schedule
Unlike a bus tour, a private tour adapts to you: linger at a viewpoint you love, add a photo stop or cut a stop short if the kids are tired. The vehicle and chauffeur are reserved for your party only.
It is a great fit for couples, families, friends travelling together, or business guests you want to show around between meetings.
Best time for a Montmorency Falls or Île d'Orléans tour
Spring: the falls are at their fullest with the snowmelt.
Summer: the busiest season on Île d'Orléans, with farm stands and producers open.
Fall: autumn colours and harvest time, a favourite for the wine and food tour.
Winter: the sugar loaf at the foot of the falls and Old Québec under snow. Some island producers keep shorter hours off-season; tell us your dates and we will adapt the route.
Custom itineraries
Want to combine two tours, add a meal, make a full day of it or head out to Charlevoix? We build a private itinerary around your interests and timing. In your request, list the places you would like to see, the number of people and how long you want to be out.
Cruise passengers in port at Québec City
The Port of Québec cruise terminals are in the Old Port area, right next to Old Québec. Our 3 and 4-hour tours fit well into a port day. In your request, include the ship name, arrival time and all-aboard time so we can plan the tour with a comfortable margin.
For a simple transfer between the port, the airport or your hotel, see our Quebec City cruise port transfer page.
Before you visit Montmorency Falls
Our Montmorency Falls guide tells the story of the site in pictures: Wolfe's camp, the 1876 sugar loaf, the industrial era and the old Sainte-Anne train. A great read before your tour.
Which vehicle for your private tour?
Lincoln Aviator: up to 3 passengers, ideal for a couple.
Kia Carnival premium van: 4 passengers, easy access for the whole family.
GMC Yukon XL or Chevrolet Suburban: 6 passengers.
Ford Transit 8 or 15-passenger: up to 14 passengers for groups of friends or company outings.
Montmorency Falls & Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
A 3-hour private tour along the Côte-de-Beaupré in a luxury vehicle. See Montmorency Falls, which are taller than Niagara Falls, then continue to the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a major pilgrimage site. The falls are at their most powerful during the spring melt, and in winter a frozen spray cone known as the sugar loaf forms at their base.
Île d'Orléans Wine & Gastronomy Tour
A 4-hour outing: cider house, cheeses, vineyards and artisan chocolate. The easiest way to enjoy local tastings without anyone in your group having to drive. Summer and the fall harvest season are the liveliest times on the island.
Historical tour of Île d'Orléans
A tour led by a licensed guide. Explore the villages, old churches and heritage homes of an island often called the cradle of French America, and discover the hidden spots most visitors drive right past.
Old Québec Tour
A 1.5-hour walk plus 1.5 hours by vehicle: the only tour combining both. On foot, the narrow streets and fortifications of the UNESCO World Heritage district; by vehicle, the Plains of Abraham and viewpoints further out.
