I can’t say enough good things about the tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She clearly loves her city and loves talking about it. I certainly learned a lot of history of Quebec city. I would highly recommend this to her to anyone. Our tour guides name was Chantel.

The tour was more of a walk through Quebec viewing the old city through various lenses: political, historical, geographical, all tied to the current situations in Canada. Our guide was a minstrel in a way because he laced the informative part of the walk with insights and humor. This made the overall experience enriching and a true delight. Our guide was more than happy to accept questions about his content as well as tangential interests of the participants. This is a must for anyone going to Quebec City, and hopefully, you will have our docent lead the way.
