Traveler reviews
Excellent walking tour for 2
We had an excellent private walking tour! Our guide was very personable and tailored the tour to our interests. We would highly recommend this tour.
An unforgettable experience, even in the rain, thanks to Geneviève!
We had the chance to visit Old Quebec with Geneviève, and this was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay! Despite a heavy rain that could have ruined the day, Geneviève was a real ray of sunshine. She was able to adapt the route brilliantly, finding us strategic refuges while continuing to captivate us with her stories.

Amazing tailored tour
Dominique gave us a window of knowledge into Quebec City. Showed special places with amazing views of the St. Lawrence River and, for example, mini sculptures on the walls of the old city. The tour was tailored to us and the winter weather :-) . Great experience overall.
Christmastime Tour
Our adult family of three spent a delightful four days in old Quebec City at Christmastime. It was a magical experience! One of the highlights of our visit was a private tour of the walled city, led by our warm and friendly tour guide Denis Gingras. Denis has an infectious love of the city, matched with a deep knowledge of its unique and fascinating history. We left the tour with a richer understanding and sense of connection to the spirit of the people who settled there and how that spirit carries through to the present day. All at a very reasonable cost. We heartily recommend Denis' tour as something not to be missed!
