4.00It was entertaining for us and also informative about the region and the crazy ways they doled out justice. I loved that my extremely judgemental teenagers, 12 and 14, said they liked it and they looked like they enjoyed it. My favourite part was walking though the different places of Quebec City that were unknown to me and learning cool facts about why buildings were built in certain ways and who died where and how. Merci Marie! C’est fantastique! La famille de Geraldton, Ontario

5.00Great tour!! We loved it. It was great learning about the area's dark history. However, if you're a senior citizen or person needing walking assistance, the tour could be difficult. Lot of walking to various locations. Uphill walks, downhill and over cobblestone roads could be a challenge for some.
