Old City Quebec - Excellent tour. Informative and interesting. Older members of the group found some of the accents and descents exhausting.

A real cicerone to discover Quebec - Luis was a wonderful guide, with extensive knowledge of the city's history. Despite the bad weather due to rain, he managed to make his journey enjoyable. Fantastic recommendations. We would choose it again without a doubt.

Wonderful Journey Through Time. - The tour was fabulous. Our Belgian born guide was informative, entertaining and well versed in the history of Quebec City. My wife and felt that we really understood the centuries old tradition and history of Quebec City when we finished the tour. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to appreciate Quebec City’s longstanding history.

Engaging, entertaining, informative - Our guide was amazing, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He took us on a route through Old Quebec that was easy to walk and very interesting. His assumption of a person in Quebec's history made it more relatable and real. I highly recommend this tour.

Felt like we were racing through history! - The tour guide was very knowledgeable & we saw heard a lot of interesting things about Quebec. But the pace was very fast and several of us really could not keep up: At one point we came up a set of stairs (there were LOTS of stairs) and did not know which way the group had turned. One of the group members was rushing up hill, but I spotted the group in the opposite direction & my husband chased her down & we all got back together just as the group was moving again.
