Nice overview of Quebec...

4.00Nice overview of Quebec City. I would have preferred a real tour guide rather than a recording as the voice over didn’t always align and not all stops were called out.
Rain out

4.00I never have had a problem with Hop on Hop off tour. The only bad experience we had, which is not their fault, was a rain storm put us in bottom of bus for half the trip with steamed up windows. It would be nice to get a partial refund.
Worth the time and money

5.00Overall, totally worth the time and money. Got to see parts of the city that we wouldn't have visited otherwise. Guide was a recording, which had lots of interesting facts, but the bus got ahead of the recording, so I didn't always know where to look. The drivers were pleasant and patient. you could choose to sit upstairs in the open air or downstairs to be out of the sun. Very comfortable and clean busses.
Disappointing

3.00The bus stops at 4 pm and often takes 45 minutes before another bus comes. I hopped off and then took over an hour before another bus came so I ran out of time since they stop after 4pm. Only rode for about an hour so not worth the money for me!
Not too interesting

3.00It’s a nice bus and a pleasant ride. Narration is recorded. You listen with earphones for your language. But while Old Town Quebec is fascinating, the rest of the city is just a normal big city, and that’s where 90% of the tour goes. Also note that if you need to change your ticket to the following day you cannot. They made us eat the charge for the one day and buy new tickets for the next, so you might not want to get tickets too far in advance.
Great way to see and learn about the city!

5.00Very easy to use. Start at any of the designated stops. They can scan your ticket. The audio, with fresh disposable earphones they provide, is very clear and easy to understand with 7 language options. Drivers are friendly and helpful. I used the message function on the Viator ticket page to get help with the amazing real time map to figure out where the buses and stops are. Be on the top deck for the great views!
Doubtful experience witf Viator.

3.00If you book via internet, be aware that once you booked, you will have real troubles finding the location of the stops, because your confirmation will NOT give you that information. Better book in info tourism or at the hotel where they give you map and directions. Calling Viator won't help. Their robot sends you to the touroperator but won't give you the number. Tour itself was worth every bitbof it. However, if party is more than 2, take a cab. Much cheaper to get around. Maybe less background info, but if loud Canadians are sitting behind you, you won't hear the audio anyways....
No live narration

4.00We were on 2 buses on the hop on hop off on the same day and neither of the drivers provided any instructions or live narration on the microphone. It would have been helpful to hear information about how to deboard and why the bus was stopped for extended duration at the museum of civilization.
Do not buy ahead of time!

4.00This was a great way to see the Old City of Quebec, especially for a first timer! I would NOT buy this ahead of time though because accessing the tickets was a huge hassle. A ticket was never sent to my Trip Advisor app nor my email and I had to contact the office and it was an ordeal. Luckily I sorted it out before the bus arrived but I watched another group of people go through the same thing and they could not find the QR code to gain entry on the bus… It’s a lot easier to buy the ticket right as you board instead of ahead of time. They will not sell out and another bus will be coming along in case a bus is full.
Great ride
