Great Experience
I booked this tour for a work event and it was greatly enjoyed by the entire team. Our guide, Luc, was fantastic, intertwining history, humor, and personal interaction with each team member while visiting interesting areas that would likely have been missed or ignored on our own.

Loved Our Nighttime Walking Tour of Old Quebec with Maude
We enjoyed a lovely walk around Old Quebec with Maude. She is a native and brought so much color based on her history and her experience to the facts she shared with us. I highly recommend an evening tour. The lighting is beautiful and it is not as crowded walking the streets as it is during the day.

Learning from a local!
Diane obviously loves her city! I appreciated that she was knowledgeable about the historical and present happenings. She shared both very willingly.

Old Quebec Evening Tour
This was a good introduction to Old Quebec. The evening tour gave us plenty of room to walk about and learn about the history and architecture and character of Old Quebec because there are fewer people on the streets at that time of day. We visited the lower parts of the city, rode the funicular up, and visited the upper parts. The guide provided great information and stories about Old Quebec. I highly recommend this tour.

A great afternoon in Old Quebec
Our guide, Yves, was wonderful. He tailored our three-hour tour to what we wanted to see, and to our desire to walk everywhere. He was a font of knowledge about everything having to do with Quebec City and its history. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour; Alejandra is wonderful.
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!
