“The guide is very nice. Mine was Sorinel, spelling might be off. He told me a lot about the sugar but also about montreal and Quebec. He saw that I was traveling alone and kept me company. We even ate lunch together and he told me what everything was. The food was all so good and plentiful! My favorite though was the pate and also the syrup and pancakes! I loved the maple toffee experience and taste! I will be bringing my kids here when they come to Quebec with us!”

“Our guide, Chris, provided great background knowledge about how the operation works and its history. We enjoyed the old school European/Quebecois meal, the same one many locals come to this spot to eat. I would like to have heard directly from the family who runs the operation as well, but they clearly do a great job. It was also nice to see large local groups of senior citizens and those with disabilities welcomed.”
