    We had a wonderful experience on the old Quebec walking tour with Jean-Simon Michaud! He was very personable, funny and quite informative! He has the ability to keep the group's attention with interesting stories and details without turning our stops into a lecture style history lesson but he has the knowledge to answer much deeper questions. He was kind and accommodating to all of us.

    This was exactly what we were looking for to orient ourselves to the city. Guide was very knowledgeable and gave lots of entertaining anctedotes along the way. I am glad we did this instead of the bus because It was more personal. He gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants, which we tried and were great!
