We learned so much on this 2h walking tour. Denise was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and current offerings. After our time in the city, we visited family who live in Quebec and they didn't even know some of the things we shared!

Wear sturdy shoes for cobblestone walk ways. Although there are steep uphill pathways, our tour guide Marie Lou took on a gradual route. Great tour as always. Her local knowledge and humour were terrific!!!

Lovely storytelling and learning quirks and secrets by local guides weaving in secret pathways. Highly recommend Paul.
Rosemarie_Y, Jul 2026
the tour covers so many important attractions that we become frustrated when the guide spoke too fast with French assent and did not allot enough time for everyone to take photos and ask questions. our tour finished 30 mins earlier than the 3 hours promised (perhaps the guide was in hurry for next round?)
Kat_F, Jul 2026
Juan was so knowledgeable and tailored to the tour to us. We saw so much of this beautiful city. This tour is perfect for history buffs! Recommend!

Interesting topics, engaging, wonderful guide! We learned a lot & really enjoyed ourselves! When the tour was over our guide gave us the perfect dinner recommendation for a restaurant that had great food & a reasonably priced children’s menu for the kids! We so appreciated him!
Robin_W, Jul 2026
We had a great walking tour with our guide Valentina. She was very knowledgable about the city of Quebec, it's history and current things to do. She was open to (and encouraged!) questions about all the things we were seeing. It was a great way to get an overview of the city to start our trip there!
KEVIN_N, Jul 2026
History buffs only. Way too much detail.
Don’t need every date of every little thing.
Go to point of interest brief explanation and move on
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Bonjour Kevin,
I wish I had your full name since I can’t find you in our guests to find out when and with whom you did your tour. Many Kevins as guests in the last few weeks but none with a last name starting with N. That said, I am very sorry if you actually did the tour with us and clearly did not do a great job. I am surprised by your review since I really prioritize hiring guests that are genuine and know that our guests do this tour as a 101 introduction to Old Quebec and Quebec City. It should not be about dates, but really about understanding our story, history and culture and getting an orientation of what to do next. If you see this, please send me a message so I can know with whom you did your tour and offer a refund. Émilie
