Simon was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. He was friendly, approachable and eager to share is vast vault of interesting facts about Quebec. Thanks for an amazing tour Simon.
Very informative! Glad we did this the first day of our trip. Our tour guide was amazing and gave us a lot of good recommendations.
The walking tour takes you through hidden treasures behind the walls of Quebec City. Dani the tour guide provides much insight into the history of Quebec. How it was the capital of Canada two times.and much more historical information. She was pleasant, friendly, and animated in given us a plethora of information on different Governors and prominent figures of Quebec. The streets she took us through are filled with colorful stores that offer numerous amounts of souvenirs. Dani took us down the road to Mary’s famous popcorn . We went further down to this beautiful mural that displayed all the people she spoke about.
Easy to find the starting point and guide. Very informative overview of what to see/do in Quebec City. If I could do this over, I’d do it on day one of my stay in QC. Our guide, Chontell (spelling??) was fantastic.
Gigi was very knowledgeable and pleasant guide who helped us understand very complex Quebec history.
Perfect city for this type of tour and our guide went above and beyond. Great time.
Christian was a very knowledgeable guide, describing Quebec's past and present place in Canada in a clear, non-partisan member. He made sure all tour members felt included. Can not overstate how good he was.
Excellent tour. Our guide Carmen was so knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.
Very informative. You’ll see and learn things you may not find if you did it on your own. The guide was excellent.
Was a very good experience! It would have been 5 stars if we hadn’t had an exceptional tour the day before (Quebec under Seige). I’d give this a solid 4.5 stars. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging! Plenty of stops in the shade as well.
