For a walking tour, I thought we would walk more. Our guide was enthusiastic. I had hoped to cover more ground, we really only did a few stops in 2+ hours.
Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed your guide's enthusiasm. Our goal isn't to cover the greatest distance, but rather to bring a handful of key locations to life through their stories, history, and architecture. We completely understand that some guests prefer a faster-paced walk, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We hope you still came away with a deeper appreciation of Québec City
Tour guide was very knowledgeable, had a lot of energy and very personable. The tour was a great experience
Very informative history lesson, very interesting and humorous guide named Helene. Great way to spend a couple hours getting to know the city
Thank you for your review! We’re so pleased Hélène helped make your introduction to Québec City both enjoyable and informative. 😊
We walked into the TripAdvisor office and then booked online. Our tour guide was Alaine B, not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city answering any questions we could have, She also knew the city well enough to direct us around active construction. There was a number of school tours happening at the same time and she did a very good job of orating to us so that we could all hear properly. Despite the cold weather, she kept everyone engaged and warm. As a person who spend a lot of time in Quebec city, she had a lot of personal anecdotes to share as well as an interesting tidbit about her personal history. I will recommend this to my Friends and family.
Thank you for the wonderful review! 😊 We're delighted to hear that your guide's knowledge, storytelling, and ability to adapt to the day's challenges helped make the experience so enjoyable. Keeping everyone engaged, heard, and comfortable, even in cold weather and busy conditions, is a real skill! One small question: we don't currently have a guide named Alaine B. on our team. Could you perhaps be referring to Marie B.? We'd love to make sure the right guide receives your kind words. 🔥 Thank you as well for recommending us to your friends and family; it truly means a lot. Santé!!
We did our walking tour with Mark, and he was great. He provided historical background, and provided perspective of how it's impacted Quebec culture to-date. He was very engaging and tried to address everyone's questions.
We’re really glad you chose to explore Québec with us! Thank you for your kind words about your tour with Mark it is always amazing to hear how much people enjoy the way he connects history to today’s culture. He’ll be very happy to know his engaging style and attention to everyone’s questions made such a difference.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Louise, she was fantastic!! She was very informative and shared her knowledge of the history, architecture and love for Quebec City. We saw so much, as well as, learnt so much through Louise’s passion and humour that kept us wanting to learn more about the city.
Thank you! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your walking tour with Louise—her passion, humour, and deep knowledge of Québec’s history and architecture make every step memorable. It’s wonderful to know you experienced one of TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best tours, thanks to our dedicated guiding team.
Yves was informative and in good humor throughout the walk. Highly recommended. Thank you for an excellent experience
Lots of walking and seeing major sites along with history. Well worth the price. The guide was very knowledgeable. Took a good 2.5 hrs- only downside was we did not go into any buildings. However, gave us excellent feel for the city and history.
Marie was excellent. She was interesting, engaging, and extremely pleasant. Marie's love for and connection to Quebec came through in her presentation to make our experience one that will be long-remembered and appreciated.
Tour guide was knowledgeable, talkative, no boring moments and controlled pace of the tour very well.
