5.00Be prepared for a leisurely walking tour with an excellent guide. There is some uphill walking involved but there are frequent stops to listen to the guide and take a break. Our guide Stefan was very knowledgeable about the history of Quebec and presented it in an interesting and sometimes very amusing way.
Superb!

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!
