During your hike in Quebec, breaks will be taken along the river or at the most beautiful viewpoints to allow you to sample some Quebec specialities. Afterwards, you'll have to catch the shuttle bus that will drop you off in Quebec City's old town.

It was great hike, customized to the size and ability of our group. Lunch was included and personally prepared by our guide which felt so personal and sweet. He even brought vegetarian options. The paths are well maintained. The right amount of challenge for me.

We had a lovely time with Lorenzo on our tour. He took the time to answer questions and explained some of the vegetation on the hike. The park itself Is well maintained and the views were stunning. It takes less than an hour to get to the park from old Quebec. We then started a two hour hike with our guide and then had a short lunch. The lunch was sandwich chips and a cookie. If you want more food there are some small snacks available in the shop. After our guided tour we went on our own to the next hike. One suggestion I would make to facilitate ease of this trip is the pick up.I would encourage the owner to have a sign so it is easy for us to find the van in the morning. Additionally more communication on the way to the park would be appreciated. Merci!

Balade intéressante, une guide qui nous a donné plein d'informations. Le sentier effectué est un peu court.
