Wonderful tour. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history.
The tour was phenomenal! Christian was very informative and makes me wish we could be more like the Québécois! Thank you for a very educational tour. The Horners, Ray and Kay, Tucson, AZ.
Great guide- Marie. The tour really helped us understand Quebec City. Lots of information and easy to ask questions.
Great detail on the history of Quebec City. Robert did a good job of giving just enough detail to keep it interesting. Could have been about a 1/2 hour shorter though.
It was a nice overview of the city. I wish we would have been allowed to see inside the cathedral. I felt we spent too much time talking about the wall mural but it was interesting. A good tour depends on the guide being excited about what they are telling you.
Excellent guide very informative and good way to see the city. Great value
Very good. Lots of information. Very enjoyable.
Carmen was great! The enthusiasm she has for Quebec City is infectious. Her knowledge is abundant and she truly enjoyed sharing it.
I had never been to Quebec City before, so this tour was a great introduction. 2 hours turned into 2.5 hours, mostly in Upper Town. Our tour guide James is a native with ancestry both British and French. He knows his history and many funny stories about Quebecois culture. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a great tour - we had a fantastic tour guide - knowledgeable and funny. She was very informative.
