One of the best city tours we have experienced, Christian our guide was so full of knowledge, he told the history of the city in a fun and engaging way, answering and explaining any questions the group had. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about Quebec, historically and now.

Delightful walking tour with Manon. Highlights were the explanations of the frescos & Canadians history as it relates to USA.
We walked though upper and lower Quebec City in the rain and wind and it was still one of our favorite excursions! Excellent guide, so much history and beauty, cute shops (but no time to stop until the end) . We had tea at the Frontanac Hotel, a highlight. Had it not been raining we would have shopped at the end, but it was 50 degrees....... Rode the funicular to upper QC so an easy walk down. The cathedral is beautiful to see inside.
Rejeanne took us on a wonderful and informative walking tour, pointing out many details that we would've missed otherwise. The pace was great and appreciated her shared insight of Old Quebec
When booking I indicated that there was a member of our party who was in a motorized wheelchair and was assured that the tour could accommodate his needs. I asked if he could do the cobblestone streets and was told the tour would be adapted for him. In actuality we were unable to see much of the city because it was too difficult for him to navigate the streets. I would have appreciated being told that it was not going to be a good idea for us to book this tour. We would have made other plans to make the tour easier for our entire group. We would probably have done the walking tour for 4 members of the group anyway and the other 2 could have selected a tour that was more handicap friendly. Our tour guide, Marize was excellent and did the best she could under the circumstances.
This walking tour pointed out many many historical facts about Old Quebec. This 2 hour tour was more informative than a history class dedicated to Quebec City from its beginning. Personal and private you learn about the things only locals know and wonder.....mmmmmmmm...it even happened back then. Interesting, informative and a must do!
Covered a lot of history and guide was very knowledgeable. Walked at a good pace. Recommendations for shopping and restaurants was excellent.
<p>Richard Seguin did a fantastic job with our private walking tour. We really enjoyed his narratives and stories about the city. We felt we learned a lot. I definitely would recommend him to anyone going to Quebec.</p>
<p>Very awesome tour and tour guide. Hardly noticed the cold damp air We highly recommend this tour, Quebec City, AND Viator!</p>
<p>Marie was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. She met us at thr port</p>
<p>Our guide, Michael, was marvelous. He had a lot of knowledge concerning the history of this remarkable city. He guided us through various areas of the city giving us the historical and cultural significance of each area. He was able to provide us answers to our various questions.</p>
<p>Pierre was truly an exceptional tour guide. He was patient and helpful. He was very knowledgeable about so many of the historical, cultural and events of Montreal. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants an educational and informative tour of the city. Bravo !!</p>
<p>Clarisse is the best!!! We were a party of 2 off a cruise ship and looking forward to being away from the 'others'. Clarisse met us at the port and customized the tour to allow my husband to get cigars at the end. Thanks Clarisse for your care and the wealth of knowledge about Quebec that you shared!!</p>
<p>We had a GREAT time with Simon our private walking guide. He was knowledgeable and nice. He met us at the cruise terminal. There were just 4 of us, so we probably didn't do a "typical" tour, but walked everywhere and had a great time. If you can, ask for Simon!</p>
<p>After a little problem finding the guide, we were pleased with the rest of the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and well versed in all the history of the city being a 12th generation inhabitant!! We saw many parts of the city and he recommended restaurants for our lunch at the end of the tour. One would want to be sure that the 3 hour walk on cobblestones and pavement is something that wouldn't cause a problem. We enjoyed it very much. And Quebec City was our favorite stop on our cruise.</p>
<p>Doing a private tour is the best way to go! We were able to pepper the guide with our questions and he even brought in a few things around the Louise Penny novels my mom loves.</p>
We have booked the tour in Spanish and it has been a wonderful experience thanks to Odette Bernier of the Enterprise Tours Voir Quebec. Your dedication to tell us the history and customs of Quebec, as well as exchanging experiences from the different countries where we live, has made us spend a beautiful afternoon that we take back forever. I recommend them.
