We enjoyed a great walking tour of old Quebec City with our wonderful guide Elodie. We were able to see and learn about the founding and history of Quebec City. Elodie was a very knowledgeable and great guide to this charming city.

    A Dud!

    Katherine_G, Sep 2026
    Viator emailed us saying they were unavailable to do the 10:00 tour and could we go at 4:00. We suggested 1:00but that also did not work. We received an email saying they would cancel and refund us. I have not yet seen a refund yet. Very disappointing! Why advertise tours when you cannot give them?

    Historic and contemporary Quebec

    CATHERINE_F, Sep 2026
    This was my second walking tour of Quebec in the same day, and I was a little concerned it might be a duplication of my first tour. I needn't have worried. Patricia took our group of 3 all over Old Town. While the history was the same, she took us down different streets, showed us new areas and told other stories, including lots about current times. Very fun tour that complemented my other tours. Would recommend this tour for a more contemporary view of Quebec.

    Amazing tour

    This excursion is a great way to learn about Old Quebec with lots of personal attention from the tour guide. Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings. A lot of walking though on cobble stone streets and up some hills.

    Awesome private tour with Guy (pronounced Ghee). He was very informative and took us to the high points of the city. I highly recommend him. We packed in a lot in a short period of time. Well worth it!

    A Wonderful Intro to Quebec City

    Pauline was outstanding- we had a million questions and she handled every one! Her knowledge was broad and varied; we enjoyed her very much.

    Great private tour!

    Ann_S, Dec 2024
    Guy was extremely knowledgeable about Quebec City and was passionate about sharing with us. He was conversational while walking and answered all our questions. We had parents, and twenty-three and seventeen year old boys, and he engaged all of us in the tour. We would definitely recommend him and this tour!

    Interesting tour

    Fewer tourists in town in the morning, so it is easier to get from one place to another, there is so much to see

    Disappointing

    patrick_B, Aug 2026
    Perhaps we were not receptive, but the guided tour of Old Quebec did not thrill us very much. The area is quite small, a palace that is nothing more than a large hotel, and above all, an oppressive crowd of tourists dumped by cruise ships, accompanied by its share of incivility, noise, and shoving. Despite a few anecdotes, the guide did not manage to make us forget this context, combining a sometimes disjointed speech or simply a few blunders regarding the accuracy of the stories.
