Our guide, Mark, was very friendly, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Our tour was all encompassing. We learned about the city's history, architecture, politics, religion, geography, and more. Our day was bitter cold so Mark found us places to shelter from the wind while he talked. Dress warmer than you think you'll need to if you do this in the winter!

Really great and informative walking tour. Our guide, Robert, was interesting, humorous and incredibly well versed in both local and broader Canadian history. He gave great recommendations on restaurants, art galleries and antique stores. I highly recommend a walking tour such as this as an introduction to Old Quebec as it will set you up well for your whole visit!

Mark was such a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, interesting, professional, great with kids — really it was a perfect start to our time in Quebec City to get history and to help orient ourselves in the city. Highly recommend!!

Robert was a wonderful guide! He provided a great overview of the history of the city, the architecture, and the best places to eat. Very little uphill walking which was great and he made careful to guide us around all the slippery spots! He spent extra time with us and gave extra care to show us everything. Highly recommended 😊

This was one of our favorite walking tours. We’ve done a lot of them. Our tour guide (Yves) was great—knowledgeable, friendly, engaging. You can’t beat a local who knows and loves his town!

It’s a rare and wonderful thing to have a tour guide who can communicate the history of a place with such passion that nobody even notices the steep hills or freezing temps. Christian was that rare guide - our family is deeply grateful for the experience and the balanced perspective through which he shared the history of this beautiful city. Perhaps the most telling moment was towards the end of the tour when Christian asked our group to guess whether he was for or against the sovereignty movement based on the information he shared throughout the tour. Our tour group was tied - half thought he was for, and half against. Christian was happy to see our group split like this as he aims to tell a balanced history that represents all perspectives. (He also never told us which side he was on, which I also appreciated.) Christian is a gem of a guide - perhaps one of the best we’ve ever had - and our family will remember his stories for a long time to come.
