2 Hour Walking Tour in Downtown Quebec City

Itinerary

Parliament of Quebec
Admission not included15 min

An introduction of Canada and the Province of Quebec. You will see the building in which the laws are approved for the Province of Quebec being Quebec the only francophone province of Canada which is the cradle of the Canadian culture. I will explain the main characters that shaped Quebec's history. (Outside Tour only)

La Citadelle de Quebec
Admission not included10 min

I will explain the history and importance of the Citadelle in Quebec City which is the only city with City Walls north of Mexico. Why this location is so fundamental in Quebec City's history and I will share super interesting facts that occurred at this place. (Outside Tour only)

Pole Culturel du Monastere des Ursulines
15 min

You will listen to the history of how Marie de L'Incarnation founded The Ursulines in the early 1,600s which was the first educational institute of the New France and also the impact this place had with the First Nations of Canada.

Rue Saint-Louis
10 min

We'll stop at the intersection of Rue Saint Louis and Rue Haldimand which is a very historical intersection to explain the history of 2 of the oldest buildings of Quebec City which were built in the late 1600's including the architecture and difference between the French influence and the British one.

Governors' Garden
10 min

We will stand at the place known as Governor's Garden where I will explain the Wolfe - Montcalm Monument which commemorates the Plains of Abraham Battle in 1759 and explain how that location used to be dedicated to the Governor of the New France back in the days.

Admission not included10 min

By far, the most iconic building of Quebec City and the supposed to be the most photographed hotel in the world. I will explain the history of this building which was built in 1893 and share some fun facts around this hotel. This hotel represents the image of Quebec City around the world. (Outside Tour only)

Terrasse Dufferin
Admission not included10 min

Right next to the Chateau Frontenac, we will stop at the Dufferin Terrace to look at the majestic Saint Lawrence River which is vital in the commerce of the entire province of Quebec. Also, I will give some time for taking pictures as this location is one of the best spot for picture taking. I will explain as well the undergrounds of the Dufferin Terrace which has the ruins of the previous habitations of the New France royals. (Outside Tour only)

Notre Dame De Quebec Basilica Cathedral
15 min

Probably the second most recognized location of Quebec City. I will explain about the history of this building built in the mid 1600's as a promise made by Samuel de Champlain, Founder of Quebec City in 1608. I will also talk about the Seminary of Quebec and City Hall which are in the same square.

10 min

This mural which was painted in 2001 by a group of French and Quebec City artists on a 4,520 wall tells the story of Quebec City since its early days until today. A beautiful place to stop and learn about our history and very helpful before roaming around the city to better understand its culture.

Place Royale
15 min

The place where everything started!!! I will explain how this location is where it all started when the first French explorers arrived to Canada and the importance that Louis XIV had in making this possible. Also, I will talk about Notre-Dame des Victoires which is right here at Place Royale.

An Exceptional Guide and a Wonderful Tour!

Christian is a passionate, kind, and genuinely wonderful guide! I’m from Québec City, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned about my own city during this tour. Christian has an impressive knowledge of the city’s history and took us to discover some truly beautiful and fascinating places. He was incredibly attentive to the group, always making sure to answer everyone’s questions and taking the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. I highly recommend this wonderful tour, but above all, I highly recommend Christian as a guide. His passion, kindness, and knowledge truly made the experience special!

Exceptional

Our experience with Christian was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, I was impressed by how educated and knowledgeable he was. One of the best tour guides we’ve ever experienced. I really appreciated the small group size, which made the tour feel intimate and personal. At the same time, Christian has a tremendous ability to engage with everyone. His storytelling and sense of narrative made the entire experience feel interactive and engaging, also well paced from beginning to end. I was particularly amazed by the handling of questions. Every question I asked was answered with confidence, clarity, and an impressive depth of knowledge. He’s also very respectful and accommodating toward everyone in the group. I was equally impressed by his language skills. His English and Spanish were not only completely fluent, but prolific the skill level and linguistics of a native speaker. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Christian. I found the tour incredibly informative, engaging, and enjoyable. Truly spectacular.

Fantastic Tour With Christian!

I’m actually from Quebec City, so I thought I knew quite a bit about Old Quebec—but I was honestly surprised to discover that 99% of the information Christian shared was completely new to me! Christian’s energy is absolutely contagious. He was entertaining, passionate, and engaging from the very beginning all the way to the end. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re visiting Quebec City for the first time or, like me, you’ve lived here your whole life, I highly recommend taking this tour with Christian. You’ll learn something new, have a great time, and see Old Quebec from a completely different perspective. Thank you, Christian, for such a great experience!
