Excellent Historical Tour of The Most Beautiful City - We were only in Quebec for the day as a cruise stop so we wanted to get a good historical overview of this magnificent city. Our guide was excellent, friendly and very informative. Over the 2 hours we covered so much that now I need to return and spend more time here.
Highly recommend this tour.
