February is a great time to visit Quebec if you like the winter season. I would recommend spending most time in the old town of Quebec.

George picked us up in nice warm van. He was friendly and van was clean. It was so relaxing to be driven to our door, since it was long day of travel from Arizona. We had changed our travel plans and it was all done online. I will definitely use them again.

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Old Town Tours. Our guide, Lily, was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories and facts about Niagara-on-the-Lake. In fact, she just about convinced us to move to the town! We also experienced great customer service, and had a lot of fun throughout the tour. We would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Steve was awesome at helping us plan a last minute wine tour in NOTL. His help and relationships in planning our custom tour was instrumental in the success of our day (at the time the Covid restrictions were changing weekly). Harold was with us too taking photographs which was awesome to document our day and our time together. We will definitely use them for future trips to the area and would highly recommend them. They think of everything and have such great, personal touch’s!

We didn't realize it was going to be such a big deal but it was. This ended up being one of the best choices we could have thought of for our team building vacation. We ended up taking advantage of the Hornblower cruise, and our memories still last today. The price was smashing, and we think that you would also enjoy this tour as well.

Very cool thing to do. The view was fabulous. Only complaint was that we couldn't hear the tutorial in the headset. Volume was too low. People were very nice too.
