Diana was, simply put, an exceptional tour guide. She provided three hours of very personalized information about the history, culture and charm along with the “vibe” of Quebec. She was very attentive to detail and answered every question we had with patience and passion. We would highly recommend any tourist who is interested in a private tour of Quebec to schedule Diana. She exceeded every expectation!
There is no Experience, the private tour was cancelled because the tour guide couldn’t make it on that day.
Our tour was canceled by the tour guide less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled time leaving us scrambling for plans on our vacation.
Renald was excellent. Tailored the tour to our exact needs. Changed routes to avoid staircases to help my parents. Knowledgeable, personable, great sense of humour and showed parts where no larger groups went. Highly recommend his tour.
Informative. We didn't see a lot and backtracked some. Only went in at one place. after the hop on and hop off... it was helpful to supplement. Guide walked very fast. Print out said tour was 90 minutes. We would have done 2 1/2 hours if we hadn't said something.
Hiring a guide for the 4 of us was perfect. Our guide customized our tour to our interests and we covered so much ground in the 3 hours we had with the guide.
We had a wonderful tour! Guy was very friendly and provided interesting information at each stop. We felt comfortable asking questions along the way. We were a group of four women in our 70s, and Guy adapted the walking pace to our preference.
Our guide was very flexible on start time and location. But that’s where the good ends. He wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the history of place, and if he was, he certainly didn’t express it in a way that made it clear and easy to understand. He would give us history on random buildings rather than history of the city as a whole. We asked many different questions in many ways to try to get him to explain the place in the way we were looking. But he eitherdid not know or did not understand. Also, while he spoke English, his English is not great. Overall, very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money. I would’ve rather paid more for somebody better.
Our guide for a private tour did not show up to meet us. After waiting 15 minutes we called the guide who told us she would not be giving a tour and had told the company that she would not do the tour because the company was not paying her enough. When I called Viator for a refund they told me that I needed to have cancelled 24 hours in advance so they could not do a refund. I needed to stay on the phone almost 30 minutes before they offered to contact the firm they subcontracted the tour to, to see if they would offer a refund. Ultimately I got my refund but it ruined a good part of the day.
Absolutely beautiful tour of our new favorite city. Elodie was a knowledgeable, personable guide who highlighted the details and hidden gems of Quebec City. I even navigated the cobblestone in my motorized wheelchair with her guidance to find the smoothest path without missing any of the best views. Thanks for making our trip so memorable!
