Excellent walking tour, definitely recommended

One of the best city tours we have experienced, Christian our guide was so full of knowledge, he told the history of the city in a fun and engaging way, answering and explaining any questions the group had. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about Quebec, historically and now.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your tour with Christian—his knowledge and engaging style make exploring Québec truly special. Our small groups allow plenty of time for questions and interaction, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back in another season to discover even more of the city!

Delightful walking tour with Manon. Highlights were the explanations of the frescos & Canadians history as it relates to USA.

Raining and still a favorite excursion!

We walked though upper and lower Quebec City in the rain and wind and it was still one of our favorite excursions! Excellent guide, so much history and beauty, cute shops (but no time to stop until the end) . We had tea at the Frontanac Hotel, a highlight. Had it not been raining we would have shopped at the end, but it was 50 degrees....... Rode the funicular to upper QC so an easy walk down. The cathedral is beautiful to see inside.

Great walking tour of Old Quebec

Rejeanne took us on a wonderful and informative walking tour, pointing out many details that we would've missed otherwise. The pace was great and appreciated her shared insight of Old Quebec

An unforgettable Quebec tour

We have booked the tour in Spanish and it has been a wonderful experience thanks to Odette Bernier of the Enterprise Tours Voir Quebec. Your dedication to tell us the history and customs of Quebec, as well as exchanging experiences from the different countries where we live, has made us spend a beautiful afternoon that we take back forever. I recommend them.

Private walking tour.

When booking I indicated that there was a member of our party who was in a motorized wheelchair and was assured that the tour could accommodate his needs. I asked if he could do the cobblestone streets and was told the tour would be adapted for him. In actuality we were unable to see much of the city because it was too difficult for him to navigate the streets. I would have appreciated being told that it was not going to be a good idea for us to book this tour. We would have made other plans to make the tour easier for our entire group. We would probably have done the walking tour for 4 members of the group anyway and the other 2 could have selected a tour that was more handicap friendly. Our tour guide, Marize was excellent and did the best she could under the circumstances.

Walking With a Purpose

This walking tour pointed out many many historical facts about Old Quebec. This 2 hour tour was more informative than a history class dedicated to Quebec City from its beginning. Personal and private you learn about the things only locals know and wonder.....mmmmmmmm...it even happened back then. Interesting, informative and a must do!
