5.00The guide was wonderful. So much information about Canadian history. Good thing that there was a shuttle from the ship that put us within about a mile of the meeting point. There was construction, so you have to work around it.

5.00Walking tour gave us so much more context as to the layout and history of this beautiful city -- the oldest in North America! Etienne, our guide, was very knowledgeable of all of the local histories, took pauses for photos, and pointed out do not miss restaurants and things to see and do after our tour ended.
Our tour guide exceeded all of our expectations!
