My wife and I are avid Motorcyclists, so while we were in Quebec we hoped to rent some motorcycles…read moreor maybe some Can-Ams. We couldn't find anywhere near the city that rented proper motorcycles, so I looked into scooters! Quebec adventure tours was perfect. The guy who signed us in was a hoot. Spoke English as well as French, and he was funny! He did a perfect job of introducing us to the scooters (we've never ridden automatics before!) One of my favorite things is that he did a perfect job of balancing the fun of riding with the responsibilities and dangers. He didn't scare the new people, but made sure they understood how to stay safe and have a healthy respect for the bikes. The scooters were 50ccs (a fair bit smaller than my Kawasaki 1700!!) They were tons of fun. We toured around the island for about 4 hours. We'd driven the island many times before, but seeing it at a slower pace without the frame of a car around us was amazing. We got to see the island in a whole new light. I highly recommend seeing the island by scooter or electric bike, and I highly recommend Quebec Adventure Tours! A solid 5 stars!

Francois was beyond friendly, gave us a route around the island, taught us how to use our Stand-Up scooters (DEFINITELY recommend going this route, it was so much fun), and sent us off. We stopped for the FRESHEST strawberries we have ever had. Absolutely unreal and we scarfed them down in minutes. $6/pint and $1 waters! Then we roamed the island and took in the beauty of the neighbourhoods and island views. There are public washrooms everywhere, just look for the little blue sign! We stopped at Cassis Monna et Filles for the best sangria I've ever had, on a serene hill with beautiful views and picnic tables or FatBoy cushions to lounge on and enjoy the surroundings. Our last stop was the Nougat store just up the road, where we got salted caramel nougat (my fav) and pistachio nougat. Could not recommend this more, and definitely looking forward to coming back again!

The train stations of either end of the ride are beautiful, lots of shops and clean, lots of stained glass and ornate. The outside of the building was even more beautiful!

There is a ski school for kids - 10:30am-3pm and a daycare for the little ones so adults can enjoy skiing. The mountain has plenty of advanced and beginners trails.

Mostly French speaking but everyone knows at least a little English.

We had an…read moreamazing time, mostly good luck with the snow and since then I have been dreaming to spend an extended long weekend in this nice ski resort. MSA has trails of different difficulties, some of the blue slopes are indeed steep and the diamond runs are enjoyably long. Unfortunately the snow fairy was upset on the day we departed from Montreal, instead of snow storm we had rain in mid January all the way up to the ski hill (yeah, unfortunately global warming is not a hoax). The next day the personnel worked hard to make the ski slopes skiable and indeed they did an amazing job. By noon almost all the runs were opened and we found some real snow instead of ice. The MSA runs are longer on the south side and some of them more challenging. On a freezing sunny day the gondola may offer some relief from the cold and the views form the top of the mountain towards Saint Lawrence river are breathtaking. But I personally prefer the north side, after a snow storm this is the best place to have fun. The single chair on this side is backed up by a long T-bar that reminds me the ski days back in the Bulgarian mountains and is good although slow alternative when lines for the lift are too long or you need a shelter from the wind. At the bottom of the north side is also my preferred rustic chalet where you will get the best hot chocolate. The people working at MSA are amazingly friendly, everywhere, in the caff, the ski shops, ticket office they will help with whatever you may need. The apres-ski in the local bar is perfect, there is a fire place next to the window overlooking the hill and reasonable variety of good beers. MSA is very quiet during the night, there is a limited number of options to dine and you need to drive if you would like to go out for dinner, I personally consider this as an advantage. Last but not least, you can upgrade your day pass for night skiing at additional cost of ten dollars, so be careful with the apres-ski. Five stars from the heart!!

I realized I had never written a review for YQB, the international airport for Quebec City…read more This review is bifurcated in a way. A more recent visit, where I went here to pick up and drop off a car, gave me an opportunity to spend more time looking at its physical plant. I have only flown into YQB once, and it was on a connecting flight coming in from the U.S. It was a little dated, and has since been spruced up, but it definitely worked. What you have at YQB is the typical curved or boomerang shaped terminal along a curved access road, parking and rental cars in a structure across the street, and a covered enclosed bridge connecting the two. That's because it can be very cold here! The terminal is very clean and, with tall ceilings, it is airy and breathes well. Everything is clearly marked. There are many places to sit and charge your device. The bathrooms are very clean. As can be expected, one part of the terminal's sweep is where you check-in and another is where you exit from baggage claim. It's not overly busy because, while it's Quebec's regional capital, it's also its secondary city. Quebec City is not Canada's national capital. That said, I have either gotten to Quebec City from Montreal via car or have taken VIA Rail that has its terminus at the city's impressive Gare du Palais. The airport is a little far from the historic center, and perched right above its suburb of Ste.-Foy. That's why there's a hotel strip in Ste.-Foy. Transit connecting the historic center and YQB is not so linear. That would be one demerit. The other is the narrow spacing of parking spaces in the parking garage and at the rental car center. One has to "ding" them for that.

One big downside: the lounge is closed for renovations until Summer 2026, which is a long wait if you were hoping for a quiet, upgraded space. Food options are limited at the moment. Aside from A&W, you're looking at vending machines and a small café. Tip: bring a snack or something light with you--choices are slim and non existent. On the bright side, the seating layout is surprisingly thoughtful. There are armchairs, workstations, and group-friendly areas, so you can choose your vibe. There's also a Relay store and a duty-free shop to wander through, though overall the terminal can feel a bit quiet and, honestly, a little boring. If you're looking for downtime, though, it's perfect--I was practically half asleep waiting for my flight. Security and check‑in were a breeze. The airport wasn't busy at all, which made the whole process smooth and stress‑free. A simple, calm airport--nothing flashy, but easy to navigate and comfortable enough if you come prepared.

It was an odd visit to a tourist information center where one expects to find racks full of maps, brochures and restaurant flyers. The stark and empty room suggested that the information center was winding down after a busy summer tourist season. I saw a few posters on the wall but no brochures. Although I was the only visitor in the center, a woman gave me a number and directed me to stand on a non-existent line to speak to a representative. The representative gave me one map of Old Quebec and when asked, she had no brochures or flyers to give me. Note - some visitors might find the stairs and the heavy front door a challenge when visiting the tourism office.

On July 10 at 12:23pm we received an email message that our tour was being cancelled "due to circumstances out of our (the tour company's) control." The company asked if we would be available on July 11 or July 13 for rebooking (we were NOT available). Less than one hour later (1:09pm to be exact) we received another email stating "You can disregard my previous email. I was able to find a solution." We responded, "Thank you. We will plan on our original reservation." On the day of the scheduled event (July 12, 20024) we arrived early at the restaurant for our 11:30am tour. At 11:22am, seeing neither a tour representative nor other tour participants, I telephone the tour company but only got an answering machine message, spoke in French (which I could not understand). At 11:29am I sent an email to the tour company stating, "We are waiting at La Buche but see no guide. Please confirm today's tour is planned as originally scheduled." Around the same time we learned from the guide of a different food tour group (but with the same tour company) that the starting point of our tour had apparently been changed. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED !!! At 1:10pm I finally received a call from a company representative who apologized for the situation. Our travel plans did not allow us to "reschedule" the tour, and by this time our disappointment and frustration at having been "stood up" led us to demand an immediate refund of the tour payment. We had believed this food tour would be a true HIGH POINT of our visit to Quebec City. Instead, it became a COMPLETE DISASTER. We have traveled to many places internationally over several decades and never, ever experienced such a failure to communicate
