5.00We booked this activity as our first item in Quebec City to orient ourselves with the town. I found the tour interesting and helpful in learning the history of the town, picking up some ideas of what to do and where to eat, and gaining insight on current culture interactions. Our tour guide was knowledgable and witty. We enjoyed her pace and information very much. The tour went over about 20 minutes, and my group (husband, two teenage daughters, and me) were hangry at the end and very much needing to lunch. But that being said, I would 100% do it again (but pack a granola bar for along the way).
Good overview of history

5.00We saw a variety of areas which was nice. There is a lot if history behind Quebec City. Our guide was extremely informative and had a nice personality. We also learned about an outside mural and some movie facts. It was hard for me to retain all the history information. Having some diversity with more current information is nice. I would have liked more of that information.
Perfect way to kick off a trip to Quebec City

5.00Paul was the guide for our group. He’s so well versed in the history of the region, but also has lots of quirky stories to share. Viator tours are a great way to get the lay of the land when visiting a new city.
