Spring break in Quebec City - We had a wonderful experience touring Old Quebec and enjoying delicious food with Lyne as our guide! She took us to several fabulous restaurants and we enjoyed learning the history of the city as she pointed out hidden details along the way.
Lyne and Émilie (owner of HQ Services Touristiques) were great with our kids (10 and 12), listened to their stories, answered questions, and even arranged for special mocktails at each restaurant for them to enjoy!
Restaurant staff was always ready for us to arrive, with food and drinks served promptly. We learned the story behind each restaurants and meal served as well.
Tip: Book this tour for your first day to get the lay of the land. You'll know exactly where to go for all the best food and drinks for the rest of your visit.
Also thank you, Lyne, for the Cabane a Sucre tip! I hadn't had a proper "sugar shack" meal since moving away from Quebec years ago, and it really took me back!
Thank you Lyne and Émilie!

Great introduction to Quebec history and its food! - Fantastic three hour Old Quebec City tour with Lynn who was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. We visited four Quebec restaurants featuring delicious food as panzanella salad, Quebec Onion soup (made with beer), shrimp flambé, and guinea hen, all paired perfectly with wine or beer. A great afternoon with great people. No better way to see Old Quebec. Cheers to Lynn! This tour is a must do. Make sure you come hungry!

GREAT COMPANY - My drive to get to Quebec city of five hours turned into seven and the half hours causing us to miss the tour. HOWEVER I need to thank and congratulate the wonderful tour guide who was fantastic communicator. While I was driving the guide called in order to get an update of my arrival time. He was so nice and helpful, also very, very accommodating as well as the owner. There were different resolutions to our delay by the weather which we have NEVER experienced and we have taken tours on all of the continents. THIS COMPANY IS FANTASTIC - LOTS OF RESPECT!!!!

Awesome - Overall this was a great tour. The onion soup was to die for. I loved how our guide gave us recommendations for other places to eat and things to try during our stay here in Quebec - they were all spot on. I could have used a little more history during the tour, esp when we were in Place Royale

Unique and wonderful experience - Our tour guide was Lynn and she was excellent. This was the highlight of our trip to Quebec City! The restaurants were excellent. We had a different course at each restaurant. The last spot was a great surprise! All food was exceptional. We learned a little bit of history as we walked around old Quebec City.
