5.00We had a very enjoyable morning with Judith. She met us at our rental and took us for an adventure in time, place and culture. Never having been to Quebec, this was the perfect introduction. Enjoyed learning her experiences as a local, her brief stories of her travels and return home as well as her deep knowledge of how the city came to be and how the Quebec culture became the way it is. This unique private group set up enabled such a nice conversation, even amongst the summer maintenance. We learned of bricks and stones, tides and plants, old history, recent history, so much. I only hope I can remember a little piece. Highly recommend to any and all who are curious.
