We finally had to cancel because the guide kept changing both the time and the date. Not impressed and didn’t get to do the tour.

In-depth tour with a great guide
Our guide, Elodie, did a wonderful job taking us through the old city and the lower city. She is knowledgeable about the area. We were the only 2 on this tour so she met us at our hotel in the old city. She asked what we were interested in and took that into account so that we got the most out of our time together. It was a wonderful informative tour with a great guide!

Wonderful personalized experience!!!
Elodie is such a generous and attentive guide. She tailored our tour to our interests and needs from the time she met us at the ferry to the presentation she did especially for us at the plaque of the 'Filles du Roy'. She made us feel like royalty! Our tour lasted long enough to really enjoy Old Quebec, and even include some shopping in quaint little shops. She even accepted our invitation to one of the oldest restaurants in Old Québec, "Les Anciens Canadiens".

A Dud!
Viator emailed us saying they were unavailable to do the 10:00 tour and could we go at 4:00. We suggested 1:00but that also did not work. We received an email saying they would cancel and refund us. I have not yet seen a refund yet. Very disappointing! Why advertise tours when you cannot give them?
