Affiliate disclosure
Here is exactly how this site pays for itself, stated in plain language so there are no surprises. This is our FTC disclosure, and it applies to every page.
Quebec City Tours is an independent guide, not a tour operator and not a booking platform. When we send you to a tour, you book and pay on the operator's own official listing. Some of the links that take you there are affiliate links.
What that means
Some links on this site are affiliate links. Tour links go to GetYourGuide and Viator, the two platforms the real local operators, companies like AML Cruises, Tours Voir Québec, HQ Services Touristiques and Unitours, use to sell their trips. Some hotel links, which we are adding later, go to Expedia through our travel affiliate partner Travelpayouts. If you click one of these links and then book, we may earn a small commission.
That commission is paid by the platform out of its own margin. It costs you nothing extra. The price you see and pay on GetYourGuide, Viator or Expedia is the same whether you reach the listing through our link or type the address yourself.
What it does not change
- It never changes what you pay. There is no markup, no surcharge, no "affiliate price".
- It never changes which tours we recommend. We list the trips worth your time, judged on their real ratings, inclusions and logistics, and a tour that is not worth recommending does not go on the site regardless of commission.
- It never changes the facts. Every rating and review count you see is the operator's own current figure on its live GetYourGuide or Viator listing, not a number we made up or inflated.
About the numbers and prices
Ratings and review counts shift as more travellers book, so treat them as the figure at the time we last checked the listing. Where we show a "from" price, it is the platform's displayed starting price at that same check; the real price for your date, group size and season always shows live on the operator's listing before you pay. When a price cannot be verified, we leave it off the page rather than guess.
Why we tell you this
Because you deserve to know, and because the US Federal Trade Commission requires it. Being upfront also keeps our incentives honest: we would rather you trust the recommendation than click blind.
