Description
Explore Québec City on this private, guided walking tour and experience the city in a way group tours simply can’t offer. Your dedicated guide will lead you through Old Québec, bringing to life the rich history of North America’s oldest city. Discover impressive archaeological sites, centuries-old buildings, picturesque homes, grand cathedrals, imposing fortifications, and charming narrow streets that each hold a story of their own. Because it’s private, every moment is adapted to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Want more photography stops, deeper historical insights, or local recommendations? Your guide adjust the tour just for you, creating a personalized experience you won’t find anywhere else. If the funicular is closed, we can arrange cab transport to avoid having to walk up the hill, or we can provide a ticket to be used later in the stay, at the customer's discretion (if they wish to walk up). A 15-20% tip is strongly recommended at the end of the visit.

Kruse Quebec
Our guide, Marie-Pierre Lafite, was fantastic. She provided just the right amount of history, social context and current life. The sites visited gave a perfect overview of Old Quebec. She provided several tastes of Quebec, including goat milk ice-cream, maple syrup on a stick, local chocolates, etc. it was a pleasant pace. Top-rating.
