3.00A lovely walking tour for a good overview of Quebec City and the history of it. However, our guide made several inaccurate statements that our group corrected when we could. 1. Asked about the artist for the statue of Champlain she said we don’t know who made it. Um ma’am it is signed by Chevré. 2. Asked if it is true the artist was on the Titanic she didn’t know . Yes Wikipedia says he was. 3. Told us the central tower of the Chateau Frontenac was added in the 1950’s. It was added much earlier. Etc. Sweet lady but needs more training.
Great walking tour of Old Quebec

5.00We did a walking tour of Old Quebec with Lynn as our guide. She was awesome. Lynn gave us so much history of Quebec from battles to architecture to personal experiences . The tour was small, just 6 of us. Which was really nice. You didn’t get lost in a crowd. I would definitely recommend Lynn and this tour group.
Beautiful tour!

5.00Jac was an amazing tour guide! We signed up for the 6pm tour, we were worried about day light but it was actually so beautiful seeing the sunset towards the end of our tour. The tour hit all the important spots in old Quebec. Jac was able to provide history and more current information about places we stopped at. The tour is well paced where you walk and stop and talk. The funicular was a fun and convenient part of the trip so we didn’t have to climb all those steps. The one downside was there wasn’t enough time for picture taking, you have to be quick or do it while the guide is speaking. But overall I highly recommend!

5.00This is a very good walking tour to learn about the history of Quebec and three old part of the city in particular. The two hours went by quickly mostly due to our guide Pierre. He is a fountain of knowledge on the history of the city and area and enjoys telling others about it. I highly recommend it.

5.00Our guide Jocelyne was absolutely wonderful. She shared so much history about the city, but also personalized it for travelers seeking out options for gifts or recommendations on how to get somewhere on additional days that they would be staying. Her kind personality and warm interaction with everyone on the tour made it even more special. We walked through both lower and upper town and if you’re lucky enough to have Jocelyne as your guide, then you’ve hit the jackpot. There were even comments from other tour company guides that said in passing, that we had the best tour guide. She is obviously well known and respected throughout the city. Great tour company.
Friendly guide....
