Great Tour of Quebec City

5.00To start with we missed our initial booking as there was an error on my part. The company was very kind to reschedule to the correct date (5 months later). Diane was fantastic and gave a very entertaining and informative tour. She had a great rapport with all. When we met back with the rest of our personal travel group who took a private 3 hour tour. I felt like we got the better deal. We saw much of the same and our guide pointed out local arts that the others did not see.

5.00Exploring an otherwise mostly francophone city can feel a bit overwhelming, but our guide delivered an incredibly informative, engaging experience in English. Terry brought the city’s rich history to life as we walked through the stunning cobblestone streets tailoring the experience to suit children AND seniors. The pacing was perfect and we appreciate all the recommendations Terry gave us at the end of our walk.
