voyages01 Posted November 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2017 We were on the Zuiderdam in september with a stop in Saguenay. Wow! first the welcoming committee was incredible. Poeple all dressed up in costumes of the early settlers, square dancing, free blueberry pie and juice, maple candy...lots to see right there on the docks. We bought a 4 hour tour right outside the cruise terminal from a local operator (they sell online). We were lucky to get on cause they only 4 spots left to sell and there was quite a line up for this tour. Apparently they usually sell out 4 or 5 months in advance but on this day they added an extra bus (they use 24 passenger buses that are quite confortable). The tour took us to some nicevillages, the scenery was great and we were right in the prime of fall folliage. We went to a village with a covered bridge with paintings from local artists on the walls, went up to the national park and did a short hike to 3 observation decks overlooking the fjord, just amazing! We had a short break for coffee in the village and also stopped at another park where there is a permanent nativity scenes exposition. Our guide Denis was excellent, his english was perfect and gave us lot's of information about the area without being boring. He treated us to some local pastries, local cheese (he says that Queen Elizabeth orders it for herself) and some chocolate covered blueberry. You can look them up on trip adviser, they have great reviews there. I'm not sure but I think the name of the company is Tours Fjord et Monde. Well worth the price, cheaper than on board tours that use the large buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
