Spend one hour touring Quebec City from the open top of a double-decker bus. Your English or French guide covers Old Quebec, major buildings, parks, statues, and the city’s geography. Guides such as Patrick, Raymond, Daniel, and Daniele add humor and local context. The tour is a quick, useful first look.

“Our guide was excellent and had a good sense of humour which he showed throughout our tour. The information was great, and the bus was comfortable. I appreciated the water that was available for sale on the bus. We learned a lot in a short amount of time, and I'd definitely recommend this tour to others!”

Toronto: Night Sightseeing Tour on a Double-Decker Bus

4.Night Sightseeing Tour on a Double-Decker Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 133 reviews · 1h 30m · from $32

Spend 90 minutes seeing Toronto after dark from a guaranteed upper-deck seat. An English-speaking guide points out the CN Tower, Old Toronto, the Financial District, Chinatown, and more while the bus moves through the city. The roof may be closed in November and December, so dress for the weather.

“Marilyn was a great guide on our night tour of Toronto, with Steve driving. We were lucky to go close to the CN tower as part of our trip. Learnt lots about local history and got a good overview of the area. Really enjoyed our trip and the buildings all looked gorgeous at night.”
