Diane was great. She adjusted our walking tour for my physical limitations. Her knowledge and love for her beautiful city shown in the history she shared with us. Definitely recommend her to friends and family.
I highly recommend this immersive, in-depth walking tour of Old Quebec City. Muriel, our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing local stories and historical information. Best of all, this amazing experience was due to the kindness and understanding of Èmelié, the tour operator, who accommodated us and our cruise ship’s changing schedule. We owe this unforgettable experience of your lovely city to you, Emelié. Thank you so much!
Veronica was a wonderful guide in the beautiful old city of Quebec. She was extremely personable and personalized the tour for our interests and walking pace. She wove together all cultural, historical, and architectural themes to show how they all interacted to create this beautiful, unique place.
One on one experience with a knowledgeable friendly guide Luke was very well versed and diverse in his narration
Sam was the perfect tor guide. Paced everything to our needs and wants. His knowledge of Quebec is astounding. Loved the fact he told us which tourist trap restaurants to avoid.
Our tour guide Murielle was professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond educating us on the history and beautiful aspects of Quebec City.
We booked this tour as we enjoy the walking tours, we had excellent contact from the time of booking to the day of the tour. We were met by Murielle and from the start was pleasant, knowledgeable and ensured we were comfortable during the tour, as it was raining the whole time. We were prepared for the wet weather and throughly enjoyed this tour. This tour ended up with just the two of us and Murielle our guide. Booking with small companies, we have had some of our best tours. Highly recommend using this company and having Murielle as a guide.
Really enjoyed this first visit to Quebec City with our guide, Valentina, She was knowledgeable and friendly. A shout out to the small local company, HQ Services Touristique, who provided this tour. They were very welcoming and efficient. Would definitely book with them again.
What a great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We learned so much more about the history of Quebec City.
The history stories were explained extremely well and very interesting. Very cordial about answering questions and keeping a good pace for the group.A Must Walking Tour
