Taking the 3-hour tour of Quebec with Alejandra has been a spectacular experience. Without a doubt, she has been the best guide we have had throughout our trip in the country. You can clearly see the passion she feels for what she does; she did not stop explaining things and stories at all times, keeping our interest from start to finish. Additionally, she added a very special and human touch by sharing some personal anecdotes with us. The tour flew by; we were a private group of 10, and we all agreed that it was extremely pleasant and dynamic. 100% recommendable!
Sam, our tour guide, is extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to educate and entertain our group. He answered all questions with a great personality. And at the end, also gave us a few food and restaurant recommendations which were very helpful and delicious!
