My husband and I visited Quebec for a winter honeymoon and very much enjoyed our icy ferry ride! We would recommend. Its short but very nice. We ate at a sandwich shop in Levis. We were not fluent in French but we managed to order and we enjoyed our meal :) More

We live just across the river from Old Quebec city. The ferry is clean, safe and reliable. We like to take the ferry across and enjoy a great meal in the Old City. More

My only complaint: the 10 minute ride is too short! Otherwise, fabulous for photographers wanting a different view of things. The view of QC from 'the other side' is amazing, day or night. When you arrive in Levis, get off and cross the street to BARBACOA, great barbecue, nice vibe. In the summer months you can sit outside on the... More

One of the nicest ways to take in the Old City is to take a ferry boat ride to Lévis. As you sail across the famous St. Lawrence River, you will take in a breaktaking view of Old Québec, the Petit Champlain, and part of the Old Port. Don't forget your camera! A great activity for couples and families. In... More

Coming or going from the north or south shores of the mighty Saint Lawrence River, this is a great way to cross over. The best views of the Chateau Frontenac and Old Quebec are seen from the river. More

If you happen to be in the area with a car, take the ferry. It has very nice views of Quebec's Old Town and is a quick and safe way of crossing the river. More

This was something nice to do for little cost. We went at dusk in February and were able to get a very nice photo of the Chateau de Frontenac from the water, when the lights had all just been turned on. It was FREEZING though, because we went in February. Make sure you bundle up! More

There is a fee for the car ferry between Quebec City and Levis. The ride takes about 15 minutes and you can see both sides of the river and the boats in the river too. The ferry has vending machines and clean bathrooms. There are out door decks and also an inside waiting room. I believe you can also stay... More

If you are traveling west to Quebec City the treat yourself to a memorable ferry ride to old QC. It will not only same time and avoid traffic stress but it will give you are sense of arrival. As you see the walls surround old QC it is not difficult to imagine another time when these walls were vital fortifications... More
