To begin…
To start, your tour guide will greet you at a cozy local café to give you a lay of the land.
The right pace
Be prepared to be wowed by the narrow streets of Old Québec by exploring on foot, at a nice relaxed pace.
You’ll be in good hands
Leave your guidebook and tuck away your phone (except for photos!), because your host will show you around this masterpiece of a slice of Europe in North-America.
Space to connect and explore
We keep our groups small. As a result you get a more intimate experience with your guide to go up, down, over and under to see less-obvious sights and hidden perspectives of Québec’s charming historic quarter.
Tips for your stay in Quebec
As you walk, feel free to poke your head into restaurants, galleries, bars, or shops as we pass by to take note for later pleasures. In any case, your guide will be happy to share their recommendations and favourite spots.
Skip the stairs
Québec has a lot of staircases, and we mean a lot! That’s why we include a ticket to ride to the legendary funicular, which will take us down to the foundations of the city and its oldest neighbourhood.

Dianna, Columbia, Missouri"Our Old Québec walking tour was an excellent starter course. The walk was a good pace and the guide told amusing factual stories. Along the way, we could ask our own questions and he pointed out good places to eat or shop. A nice introduction to this beautiful, diverse city."
