Great guide-Phil a born storyteller- Loved all the fun facts.
Very nice and interesting. I learned about the history of Canada and Quebec.
Terrific guide, really knew the history and shared it effectively. There were several kids on our tour, and she did a great job engaging them, which was impressive.
Meeting place was easy to find. Guide (Yves) was very knowledgeable and efficient.
Great 2 hour walking tour of Quebec City. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned many historical facts as well as current information about the area. We covered a large area but made lots of stops so it wasn't overwhelming. We had multiple ages in the group tour and all seemed to enjoy it.
Lots of great information. Helen was very knowledgeable. The tour included many highlights of the history of Quebec

We had a great experience on the walking tour. Our guide Yves was really knowledable about the history of the city. We were fully engaged during the entire tour. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of the city.
This was a terrific tour that showed us the highlights of both Upper Town and Lower Town. Our tour guide, Paul Burroughs, was among the best we've ever experienced in our years of taking walking tours in cities all over the world. Informative, funny, and attentive - we couldn't have asked for more. We learned a lot about Quebec history and discovered places that we will return to for more exploration in the days ahead. Thank you!
