    Nice informative tour

    Sergei_B, Jun 2026
    As the Quebec city Old Town is pretty small that tour covering most significant attractions at your own pace.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much! 😊 Covering the most significant attractions of Quebec's Old Town at your own pace — that's exactly what we want to offer! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

    Eats battery, but a fun activity.

    Jesica_G, Jun 2025
    This could have been the perfect way for us to see the city. We weren't sure if we each needed or own device (if you like to work as a group, one device is fine. It was nice that it was an option to use multiple devices.) The issue was the app ATE battery. We have two androids less than a year old and a brand new Iphone. All three went from full charge to less than 10% in a couple of hours. We had to go back to the hotel room to recharge our phones. Uninstalled the app, and the phones lasted the expected 24+ hours.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you found the activity fun and a great way to explore Quebec! 😊 We take your battery concern very seriously — three devices draining that rapidly is not the experience we want anyone to have and we have passed this information to our development team to investigate. You make a great practical point about one device being sufficient for a group — we'll make sure to highlight this more clearly in our instructions. We recommend keeping screen brightness low and closing background apps before starting to help preserve battery life. Please reach out to us at worldcitytrail.com/chat with your booking number and we'd love to find a solution for the interruption to your experience. Thank you for the constructive feedback — it genuinely helps us improve! 🗺️

    Not good

    Jay_R, Nov 2024
    It was a waste of money, not well planned out. The route was okay but the riddles were bad. Also we paid for 2 but we only needed one, it wasn’t well explained. It was difficult to get into the app as the confirmation number needed wasn’t on the ticket so I had to contact help.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry the experience in Old Quebec didn't meet your expectations. We take your comments about the riddles and route planning seriously and will review the Quebec content to make improvements. Regarding the confirmation number — we're sorry it wasn't easy to find on your ticket and that you had to contact support to get started. We'll work on making this clearer in our booking instructions. On the per person pricing — each ticket provides a full individual experience on their own device with personalised audio, which is why tickets are sold per person. We understand this may not have been sufficiently clear before purchase and we'll improve how we communicate this. We hope you'll give us another chance in a different city! 🗺️

    Fun way to see the sights!

    Susan_S, Sep 2024
    Once we got the hang of the app, it was super fun! Would do this again in other cities. A fun way to see some fun sights!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

    Great Experience

    AvonaWhyte, Jul 2024
    Wonderful experience...Value for money. I saw the Chateau Fontanac tour for US $25 separately. $8 for 10 Landmarks was more than a deal! Puzzle at different landmarks incorporated English, Science and History. Great teaching fun tool for my children. Great historical lesson for me to indulge in Quebec city.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 😊 We’re thrilled that you found the tour such great value and enjoyed the mix of English, science, and history in the puzzles. It’s especially wonderful to hear that it became a fun learning experience for your children while giving you a chance to discover more of Québec City’s history too. We hope to welcome your family on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

    Bit boring....

    Maren_K, Oct 2025
    Bit boring. Little interactive. The route is okay but similar is also available for free on the net

    Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass die Erfahrung in Québec nicht spannend genug war und zu wenig interaktiv wirkte. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback sehr ernst und arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, unsere Inhalte abwechslungsreicher und interaktiver zu gestalten. Unser Ziel ist es, ein Erlebnis zu bieten, das weit über das hinausgeht, was man kostenlos im Netz findet — mit Audio-Narration, lokalen Legenden, interaktiven Rätseln und Geschichten, die die Stadt lebendig werden lassen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen und Ihnen eine bereichernde Erfahrung zu bieten! 🗺️
