Orléans Express Quebec City Montreal recent customer reviews
We really enjoyed your service, the driver is really good and the bus is wonderful.
I enjoyed that we arrived right on time! I think it would be a benefits to add a package deal when we book a round-trip, instead of paying two time the full price.
Fast trip, but not as comfortable as train. Sun as hitting my face in front row. No leg room.
