Jean Claude was dressed in a warm costume from back in the day. He was engaging, funny, knowledgeable and pleasant! Our walking tour of 8 - all friends. We loved it and would highly recommend it! It was full of history and beautiful architecture and buildings to see and a ride on the funicular!
Jean-Claude was a great tour guide and provided a wealth of information. He even brought us hot chocolate on this wintry day.
Disappointed, but it was cold. Our guide was not focused on our expectations and kept drowning us with names, anecdotes that will leave us no memories. We would have liked a documented and more general historical thread on the history of Quebec in relation, at times, to current life. We would not be able to summarize what he told us to make other friends want it. Sorry, but we regret our choice. We're sure you can do better. Yes, I do.

What a delightful tour! Our guide was Hubert, the first French settler in what would become Quebec City. He helped us understand a good deal of the complicated history of this beautiful area with the right blend of detail and humor. Our group was small so we felt the tour was quite personalized. Don't let the winter weather dissuade you - bundle up! The group moves along and you'll have a chance to warm up en route.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Hubert. It’s great to know that the small group size made the experience feel personalized.

Very enjoyable 2 hours walking through old Quebec city with our guide Charles. We did not know much of the history of the city but felt very informed by the end of this tour. The pace and walking was easy despite this area being quite hilly in places. Well priced tour and well worth your time. Thank you to Charles who was excellent.
