We enjoyed a small group walking tour with Robert. The guide was both knowledgeable and entertaining. It is an excellent tour to schedule for you first full day in Quebec City. It covers a couple of key highlights that you can visit on tour but also provides good acclimation to the layout. The 9:30 tour finishes in petite Champlain where you can have lunch and plan the rest of your day and visit”

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area as she lives in one of the historic homes. She gave interesting facts about the building construction and where the materials came from, the ladders on the roofs, Le Chateau Frontenac, the famous mural, etc. She recommended taking the funicular up the hill (it's a good hike if you don't) where we had a nice lunch after the tour”

Maryse was a wonderful guide. What made this tour so special was the history that only a true Québécois could present. It was a combination of her knowledge, enthusiasm and love of what she enjoyed sharing with our small group. Much of our tour was in a substantial rain. She never allowed the weather to dampen our enjoyment of the walk through old Quebec City.”

Quebec City Walking Tour was one of the best walking tours we have ever taken. Obviously Quebec City is a wonder land of things to see. However, our tour guide who lives and was born in the city was extremely informative and made the tour very enjoyable. Lots of details and history.”

Our 2 hour walking tour ended up as a 3 hour tour with our excellent guide, Robert who is very dedicated and knowledgeable and most eager to educate as well as entertain. We learned a lot about Quebec city while walking all around the old town. Robert gave us several recommendations for shopping and dining and made our tour very enjoyable and worthwhile. He is a real treasure.”
