Bring your walking shoes as there are cobblestones in Old Quebec. Terry was a great tour guide and we covered a lot of sights and learned some great history-both past and more current. Highly recommend.

It was a wonderful experience. We got to see a lot of the city. Both the new and old parts. Our tour guide Luis, also gave us tips as to where to eat. Quebec has many Michelin rated restaurants. He explained a lot of history. We very much enjoyed the tour. I didn’t know the name Quebec originally Indian.

We loved our tour.

Raymond_F, Sep 2026
Pierre was our guide. He was excellent. He gave us many details on the history of Vieux Quebec as he guided us thru the significant sites. He was friendly and courteous.

Outstanding tour and outstanding guide

Richard_W, Sep 2026
Terry, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of Quebec, the architecture, and the First Peoples. He paced himself based on our walking abilities and was a perfect delight. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in really getting to know Quebec City, especially if Terry is your guide!

Abigail_G, Jul 2026
Lynn did a wonderful job showing us the city! We did this tour on our first day in town and it set us up for the rest of the week by getting an overview of the city so we could see what we wanted to explore further. Lynn did a nice job keeping the kids engaged too!

Private tours, the only way to go.

Roland_R, Jul 2026
Anne was fantastic. It was a great experience. We learned so much about Quebec city. I’m a bit of a history buff and she had all the answers to all of my questions. Just a very delightful person in a very delightful time. I highly recommend the private tour. It gives you exactly what you want at the pace you want.

An exceptional experience - we want to come back!

Deanne_N, Jul 2026
We had an exceptional time with Pierre! He went above-and-beyond to tailor our experience to the topics we mentioned throughout. Obviously, he is a great listener, which is a gift. Pierre was so warm and welcoming from the minute we met, he set the tone for the whole tour. His genuine love for Quebec and its history truly brought another level that made us want to return!

Private Tour is Best!

Barbara_S, Jun 2026
A private tour is best. Then your guide can work in your interests and it is much easier to ask questions, etc. Our guide Dennis was excellent. Informative and helped us find the area where our next excursion left from.

Good your but our guide...

Carole_W, Jun 2026
Good your but our guide was too loud. Good for a large crowd but needs to tone down his volume if there are only two people.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Bonjour Carole! Thank-you so much for your feedback. The guide you had is a great human being and an excellent guide. I sent him your feedback and he feels bad because he really thought you had difficulty hearing. He thought he was doing the right thing. It reminded him to double check more. He says a big thank-you and sorry for not offering you the quality of guiding he is used to giving. Émilie

Amazing private walking tour of old Quebec City

Thomas_M, Dec 2025
The three hour private walking tour of Old Quebec City was a highlight of our trip. Lynn, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful and made the experience so enjoyable. Her knowledge, passion, and love for Quebec and its history was extraordinary. She met us at our hotel and was incredibly caring and considerate of our needs. We have booked many tours during our travels and this ranks among the best. We highly recommend this tour and definitely request Lynn.

Loved the Tour

Kellie_F, Nov 2025
This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Sam was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area, the culture and the customs of Quebec. He used maps and stories to engage us. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Private guide with Denis is the only way to go!

Kathy_C, Nov 2025
It was amazing!! The best way to see both old and new Quebec in a short amount of time! The best part for us was having our guide meet us at the port. It just made the day start easier and with less confusion. Our guide was Denis and we couldn't have asked for better! You could just feel his love and pride for his county. He had such a warm personality and was so authentic. We just really enjoyed our time with him. He was willing to go wherever we requested but he also showed us some really off the beaten path sites as well. I was SO grateful to not be a part of a large group. I came away from the day wishing I had more time to explore Quebec. It was a beautiful, quaint and welcoming place.

Chi_P, Oct 2025
This company had an excellent service. They contacted me a day before when the tour guide could not make it as scheduled. They arranged another one, named Marie, with different time slot. To compensate for our time changed, they fully refunded. Marie was punctuated and experienced tour guide. We really had great time!

Fun & Informative Quebec Walking Tour

Wendy_D, Oct 2025
Our 3 hour walking tour of Quebec City was fun & very interesting. We walked up gentle hills & stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. Our guide was able to answer all our questions & give us lots of tips on activities over our 4 day stay. Dress appropriately for the weather since you will be outside for 3 hours.

Highly recommend this walking tour!
