Tour guide Denis, was excellent. Gave great information. He made the history come alive by sharing his personal connection to the city through the history of the Kings Daughters.
Odette is an excellent guide, so full of knowledge and super friendly! She made the whole experience truly outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour!
Sam was very personable and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others.
Nothing interesting. To my mind waste of time and money. Not any robust historical data. The guide treated us like children, talking about trivialities with no coherent narrative. It was an unsatisfying experience. It made me think the city wasn't worth visiting until I took a tour with another company.
Bonjour Amparo, I very sorry our tour was not what you expected. I have the impression you did not review the right tour since your guide received 2 totally opposite reviews from yours (guests that were on the same tour as you on June 27th at 3 pm) like this one : Diane was fantastic and gave a very entertaining and informative tour. She had a great rapport with all. When we met back with the rest of our personal travel group who took a private 3 hour tour. I felt like we got the better deal. We saw much of the same and our guide pointed out local arts that the others did not see.
To start with we missed our initial booking as there was an error on my part. The company was very kind to reschedule to the correct date (5 months later). Diane was fantastic and gave a very entertaining and informative tour. She had a great rapport with all. When we met back with the rest of our personal travel group who took a private 3 hour tour.

Exploring an otherwise mostly francophone city can feel a bit overwhelming, but our guide delivered an incredibly informative, engaging experience in English. Terry brought the city’s rich history to life as we walked through the stunning cobblestone streets tailoring the experience to suit children AND seniors. The pacing was perfect and we appreciate all the recommendations Terry gave us at the end of our walk.
An outstanding and highly recommended walking tour of Old Quebec City, made perfect by Vincent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the entire group engaged with fascinating stories and local insights. His passion for the city’s rich history truly brought the experience to life!
This was a good tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Quebec city. We saw all kinds of cool stuff. He pointed out good restaurants and other sites were stopping in, so that we have plans for the rest of the day.
Denise did a wonderful job giving us all the amazing history of Quebec City. She was friendly, knowledgeable, great at answering our questions, sense of humor and great all together.
A great introduction to the history of this city. The guide Pierre (Peter) was very knowledgeable and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge with the group. His recommendations of other places of interest and eateries were very much appreciated.
