Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you Noreen for your kind review. I'm always happy to share a Canadian perspective to the events of 1775-1776 that shaped our 2 countries.

Our guide was fantastic!! He took us all over Quebec City and explained the history, the architecture, and culture of the city. He took his time to help us understand the importance of the city and how it was involved shaping the history of Canada. Because of this tour we plan to return to Quebec City and spend more time exploring it in the future.

Awesome tour. Michel Perron showed us around the old town with lots of historical stories. He made it interesting for our 7 year old, our 13 year old, and both of us 47 year olds. Highly recommend a tour from Michel!

Our guide, Michel, was awesome and well prepared with materials he carries around in his backpack. The man obviously loves to show folks his city and has endless stories to tell, and endless energy too!
A very worthwhile and fun introduction to the city which was a great start to our visit in QC.

I learned so much about Quebec's history and culture from this tour. The guide was able to take me on a journey from the founding of the city to the present day. I have a better understanding of the historic relationship between America and Quebec - from the American Revolutionary War to the Treaty of Paris. I would highly recommend this tour.

Michel provided an excellent overview of the history od Quebec and Canada. He was engaging and we enjoyed about a 1 mile walk through history. Pre-excursion communication was also excellent.
Highly recommend!
Mary_P, Sep 2024
Michel enlightened us with a wealth of information as we walked through beautiful Quebec City. He presented local history in tandem with corresponding “world” history which provided us a much broader appreciation of the sites we visited and the influential cultures of the province. Michel presented this verbally as well as visually with documentation and of course the city sites.
We are so glad to have had the opportunity to tour and learn from this enthusiastic and very knowledgeable native of Quebec.
Warren_H, Sep 2024
Michel was personable and engaging. He is super knowledgeable and shares it in a way it is easy to understand.
Patricia_E, Sep 2024
Michel, born and raised in Quebec, shared everything about Canadian history and also how it intertwined with our US history. He had corresponding maps and timelines for better understanding, and interesting historical pictures. Michel, thank you for our interesting tour!
