The guide was distinctively dressed in period garb, which was interesting, from the start. A mix of fact, history, personal commentary, story & humor, was used throughout, making this a very enjoyable walk. A lot of ground was covered in the 2 hours, giving one ample ideas for places to explore further, when on one’s own. Highly recommended!

We scheduled this tour at the beginning of our time in Quebec to get a lay of the land before we toured on our own. Quebec is such a walkable city that it was perfect for that. It happened to be snowy day which made it even more special. Our family found it to be a great value for the experience.

Great experience! The guide was very knowledgeable and very engaging throughout the tour. Very good to see the city with another perspective and knowing the history behind everything you’re looking at!

Excellent walking tour despite very cold weather. Our guide had an exceptional knowledge of history and architecture. An absolute must do in QC.

Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and interesting.
