What travelers are saying
Sam, our tour guide, was an incredibly knowledgeable and personable young man! We truly enjoyed all of our time spent with our small group of 8. Sam led us through Lower Old Québec, filling us with historic information. Up the Funicular we went, where the tour continued. Sam was simply wonderful and we are so grateful for such a great tour on our first full day in Québec City ♥️
We really loved the walking tour and our knowledgeable guide. It could/should have been longer there was so much history to see and hear about. We took the tour the first full day in the city and found it invaluable to help us decide what to focus our time on in our remaining 3 days there. It also helped us orient ourselves to a city that requires navigation skills in old charming cities with unusual street signage. I would definitely use that idea in your tour promotions...
Carol was very good in explaining many of the interesting facts about QC on our tour. We enjoyed it very much.
Excellent guide
My clients just returned from their trip and said they loved this tour and would highly recommend it!
Our guide , Anne, was very knowable about the history and significance of the many sights we viewed. She also provided many antidotes to make the tour extremely interesting. She also provided recommendations on places to check out more thoroughly on our own time. It is well worth taking to get a great layout and history of Quebec.
The guide was wonderful. Beautiful city!
Great tour of a beautiful city!
