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!

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.

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!

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.
Carmelina_O, Jun 2026
The guide was very good to always look out for our safety as streets are busy in Quebec.
We learned alot anout the history and culture of Quebec from our guide Serge!! He was knowledgeable and always giving us time to ask questions. A very friendly and happy guide! Excellent tour

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.

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.

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.
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.

Comfortable, fun, very informative
Pierre was so knowledgeable and personable.
Without this tour, I would have missed so many interesting things. Also gave us great dinner tips.
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!
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.
Cindi_S, Oct 2025

Sam was very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed our tour and the indepth insight. He also took the time to show us where to buy Coffee Crisp and Maple Candy and waited while we did so. He was able to answer our questions and we appreciated it.
Catherine_M, Sep 2025
Great tour, our guide was fantastic and we covered so many interesting places on the tour. She was very knowledgeable and keen to share as much history as possible. I would highly recommend this tour.
nina_n, Sep 2025
We enjoyed exploring both the lower and upper city on this private walking tour—there was certainly no shortage of history! In fact, there was probably more information than we could absorb in one go. At times it felt a little on the dry side, and we would have loved a bit more space for interaction, photo stops, or simply to catch our breath.
Although it was said at the start that “it is your tour,” in practice there wasn’t much tailoring to our interests or pacing. We didn’t ask outright for breaks or pictures, but part of what we hoped for in a private tour was a guide who could “read the room” (or in this case, the cobblestones).
Our biggest challenge, however, was hearing the guide. With a group of only four, we expected conversation to flow easily, but the very soft-spoken delivery made it difficult to follow along. A microphone or small audio system would have made a big difference.
All in all, we’re glad we saw so much of beautiful Quebec City, but with a little more flexibility and better audibility, this tour could have been excellent

Bonjour Nina,
I have received this and have sent it to your guide.
I am sorry you were not satisfied with your tour.
I wish you had said this to your guide during the tour, I know how she cares and she would have adapted right away.
