Our guide was funny, informative and engaging. Quebec City has so much history and culture and this tour was a great introduction and would highly recommend it anyone, even locals.
Our guide, Noel was fantastic!! He made the history very,very interesting!! Would recommend to anyone interested in the history of this beautiful city.
Our tour guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from her. I would recommend this tour as a great way to start your visit to Quebec.
Fascinating, very informative tour took us to many parts of the old city we had never seen before, despite our many visits. Very memorable and enjoyable way to experience the history of Quebec. We both highly recommend it, and our guide, “Guillaume Pelletier.”
Our guide was excellent, brought the city's history to life. Lots of up and down hill walking, so wear comfortable shoes.
Like everything I experienced in my several days stay in old Quebec City, this walking tour was excellent. Our guide was in character as the first white woman to settle in Quebec City and gave us a unique view of the life and history of the times. The stories she shared from a 'first hand' viewpoint were invaluable in gaining an insight into the realities of life and its hardships, and the politics, centuries ago. Loved it!
This tour was fabulous! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city of Quebec. He also told us places to go to after the tour to learn more, we highly recommend this tour.
I especially liked the parts of the walk in the lower town. It gave me a good introduction to the old city in general because I did it on my first day. The guide stayed in her character so that helped with the history of the city.
