5.00The tour of the historic center of Quebec was extremely interesting. Our guide (Alejandra) is very knowledgeable about the history of Quebec and Canada in general. She is a very professional and friendly person who also provided us with valuable advice for the rest of our stay in Quebec. It was very easy and pleasant to use the services of HQ Services, highly recommended.
