VIA Rail Quebec City Montreal recent customer reviews

Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Friendly staff, comfortable and spacious seating in business class, good breakfast. One negative was that one seat did not have a window! When we reserved our seats, this was not indicated on the seating chart. We are tourists and wanted to see the landscape between Quebec City and Dorval!
