We saw a variety of areas which was nice. There is a lot if history behind Quebec City. Our guide was extremely informative and had a nice personality. We also learned about an outside mural and some movie facts. It was hard for me to retain all the history information. Having some diversity with more current information is nice. I would have liked more of that information.
Great tour. Etienne was wonderful, extremely knowledeable and pleasant. Great way to start off a visit to Quebec City, perfect orientation for the rest of our trip.
Paul was the guide for our group. He’s so well versed in the history of the region, but also has lots of quirky stories to share. Viator tours are a great way to get the lay of the land when visiting a new city.
Good two hour walk through history filled streets. Covered lower town and upper town. The Funicular was a good add on in the walk. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
Luis our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Really great trip round Quebec. Highly recommended
Guide was very knowledgeable and personable
Madeline is a wonderful guide and has a great sense of humor. We loved the tour and would recommend this as a great introduction to the city and its history. I’ve been to the city before, but this is the first time we took a tour. There was a lot to discover!
The company and staff were so accommodating as we had to change our time. The tour was very informative and our guide Diane was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this company.
Really enjoyed the 2 hour walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had an interesting itinerary
Easy to moderate 2 hour walk with a group, regular stops to listen to the walking guide who tells stories of old Quebec City. Pierre/Peter was our guide and he has an east to listen to voice and can speak very good English as he a French speaker. Highly recommended.
