Our guide Anne was knowledgeable, and gave great insight to the city and what it had to offer. She was very friendly and made the tour engaging. she had photos to provide visuals to what she was describing if she was referring to another season or historical references. Definitely would recommend this tour

Enjoyed a fabulous tour lead by an energetic guide named Francis. He kept us entertained and educated for the full 2.5 hours we were with him. He hit the highlights of Old Quebec and helped us to truly experience the city. We would definitely recommend this walking tour! Excellent value for the money!

Annabelle was an excellent died! So funny and engaging and clearly a love and the passion for the history of Quebec City. There is so much I would’ve missed had I not had Annabel there to point out and bring context to the buildings, architecture and artifacts that simply lay before us. So many places I know I want to explore more deeply! And will in future visits. Thank you Annabelle!!
