5.00It is a truely picturesque walking tour, with the tour guide having revealed Quebec’s colorful and rich history. It covered the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Quebec, Place Royale and other sites as well. Relishing a freshly baked croissant in a French-inspired traditional bakery, was a delight. The tour guide was entertaining and good enough knowledge about history of Quebec.

5.00Our guide, Sophie, was very friendly, enthusiastic, and informative. Our kids who are 12 and 10 were just as interested as we were. We learned a ton and fell in love with the city at the same time!
