It is a truely picturesque walking tour, with the tour guide having revealed Quebec’s colorful and rich history. It covered the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Quebec, Place Royale and other sites as well. Relishing a freshly baked croissant in a French-inspired traditional bakery, was a delight. The tour guide was entertaining and good enough knowledge about history of Quebec.
