Traveler reviews
Very enjoyable tour!
I had an amazing time on the tour and learned so much about Quebec City from our extremely knowledgeable guide, Louise. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to know more about the city's history and rich culture!
Good tour
This was a very informative tour about Quebec City. The tour guide was knowledgeable and wanted to share lots of information. It starts in the upper old city and ends in the lower area so please be aware there are a lot of steps but they are going down not up. Just a word of caution if you have any issues with steps and I would suggest comfortable walking shoes. You do hear about the large Fairmount hotel but do not go inside so you may plan that another time The guide gave us restaurant suggestions which we enjoyed. I believe the tour lasted around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Go on this walking tour!
Very worthwhile. Our tour guide Tommy is a 12th generation Quebec’er so having him show us his Great Great Great Grandfather’s house made the tour seem that much more authentic. Super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Worth doing!
This was a really fun tour. Our tour guide Mark was really knowledgeable and his dad jokes were funny. Definitely worth doing. It’s the perfect amount of time where you get to walk around and learn about both architecture and history, but you don’t feel like it’s taking all day.
