5.00We 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.
A culturally grounding experience

5.00Lots 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.
Well worth it.

5.00We did the 2 hour “The Grand Tour” in english in September and we would highly recommend it! It was very easy to book and get to our meeting place. Our tour guide Mark Lepitre was very knowledgeable about the history of beautiful Quebec City and all its beauty. He was very entertaining, informative and his tour was at a good pace. This was our 2nd visit to QC and we learned a lot about the city with this tour. Would recommend doing this tour!
