Meet the tour guide and enjoy an ongoing commentary of interesting facts and stories about this historic Canadian city. Learn about the past and present and get a glimpse into the future of Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, while walking along from one location to the next.

See and learn about the important function of the city walls from centuries ago and gain a better understanding of the defense system of North America's only remaining fortified city.

Visit Place Royale, often referred to as the birthplace of French America, and the beautiful Plains of Abraham, where the famous Battle of Québec between the French and English armies took place in the Seven Years’ War in 1759. Also, enjoy views of picturesque Place d'Armes and take photos of the towering Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Canada’s most-beloved hotel. 

The tour concludes back in the Upper Town district. It truly is a fun and fast way to get to know Québec City and the many amazing attractions it offers.

Private walking tour.

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.

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!

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.
