A fantastic walking tour with a rich and thorough history lesson from our guide. I wish I could recall his name ~ he was fabulous! Worth every penny☺️
Gabrielle was excellent and very knowledgeable. Pace was great, not too strenuous. We covered Lower Town and Upper Town
We had Serge as our guide for this small group tour. He was very knowledgeable and passionate, clearly loves his job! Highly recommend
Great tour of the old city. Easy walk, just a few steps. Our guide stopped multiple times to highlight historic points. Would recommend.
Our guide was excellent. Well versed on the history and culture of Quebec. We were never bored or restless with his topics.
Wonderful tour, very helpful doing this early in your trip getting the lay of the land. Anne was lovely and did a great job explaining the area and giving suggestions for restaurants and other excursions. Recommend highly!
Great way to learn the history and to see old Quebec with others. Tour guide very helpful and informative.
Saw a lot and learned so much about the city and its history. Our guide, Marie, was fabulous with an amazing amount of knowledge (she's a Quebec native!) and coupled that with a great sense of humor.
She was able to answer all of our questions as well as giving us insight that could only come from someone who grew up there.
She was even able to navigate us around the Grand Prix bicycle race that was roaring through the city, an exciting side adventure we didn't even know about in advance.
You need to be a good walker to navigate some cobblestone streets and lots of hills -- otherwise you might feel disappointed. But it's a great tour and Quebec is a beautiful city to visit.
Fun and informative. Marie was very knowledgeable. We did the tour at night and the town was beautiful!
He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and the group was receptive to his engaging personality. The experience was very positive.
2 hour walking tour helped us orient ourselves in Old Quebec City and understand local culture and history
Great tour! Etienne was knowledgeable and friendly. Learned so much. Loved having the funicular as part of the tour.
Too much detail on history and not enough sites seen. Inconvenient starting point. Not enough covered in upper town.
Francine was our tour guide. She was excellent. She took time and showed all the sites explaining in detail.
Highly recommend this tour
Enjoyable, educational, worth to price. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and gave us interesting insights into Quebec's history and present day.
Denis was great! He was very knowledgeable and everything he had to say was truly interesting. I personally loved the tour being focused on the historic details of the sights we visited, since that's sort of the point of visiting Quebec. He also gave us recommendations to continue exploring as well as nice restaurants to visit.
Valentina was personable, knowledgeable and cheerful! A great introduction to the city that gave us ideas for further exploration.
Excellent tour with Denise of the Old Town of Quebec. Despite the rain, Denise gave our group a complete history of the area and its origins. She was very knowledgeable and had great insights into the early life of its settlers. I highly recommend this tour as a way to introduce yourself to Quebec.
The tour gave us a brief history of old Quebec City and gave us our bearings in the tourist areas as well as some information about areas beyond tourist central. It was a fun and informative trip with a small enough group to not make it feel like a school class outing. The guide answered all of our questions, did not ramble on in his talks, while answering all questions with ease. It was a fun and informative outing.
Great overview of Canadian history with a wonderful guide. Marie, a local, was so enthusiastic to show off her city and answer any questions we had.
Louise was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Clearly a passionate native of Quebec. Had a nice tour.
Our guide Etienne was great. He knew so many details and was very informative about the history of this beautiful city.
Enjoyable walking tour including history, architecture and fun facts. Great tour guide who was energetic and friendly!
We really enjoyed our tour with Paul! Lots of history and interesting facts. Just the right amount of walking and talking.
Learned about historical and social development in upper and lower Québec. Our guidebook terrific, really engaging. She pointed out many small but important details along the way.
Pierre was an interesting and informative guide. Covered lots of history and introduced us to interesting aspects of history and culture. He also offered good suggestions for dining.
This tour brings Quebec’s history to life! Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to so many interesting places around Vieux Quebec. Great start to our first visit to Quebec City.
A very fun walking tour - we started in lower Quebec City and ended in upper town via the funicular. Stephan was a knowledgeable and personable guide - it felt like he shared insider spots and insights with us. Also made sure we were learning some history.
Luis was an outstanding guide! Mixed lots of history into the tour while highlighting several notable sites throughout the city.
James was a wonderful guide who was a great storyteller about the history of Quebec. The tour went at the right pace for older adults and due to the funicular undergoing maintenance at the time we needed it, offered options for the participants other than walking up. (We all made it 😅) Beautiful scenery and a wonderful intro to the city.
