Love Quebec - Carole was a fantastic tour guide. She knows the city and history! Very enjoyable tour. Yes there are steps and the streets are up and down but our group did fine and we are mostly over the age of 70!

Best tour guide … ever. - Neil Schumacher was our guide with a Viking organized tour of Quebec City. He was fabulous! Very knowledgeable, with just the right combination of humorous asides and historical information. A true lover of this most charming city. Highly recommend
him for your visit. He gives private tours, also.

A Must Do - A simply fantastic tour. I fell in love with Quebec City because of what I saw and learned. Our tour guide, Paul, was friendly and knowledgeable. He stopped to answer questions and gave us a comprehensive history lesson on the founding of the city. To add to the magic, there was a cycle race that day and the roads were lined with cheering fans. I couldn't have asked for a better tour. I heartily recommend this one, especially those who are visiting the city via a cruise ship.

Jocelyne was very... - Jocelyne was very knowledgeable and passionate about providing history about her beloved Quebec City. There was a lot of construction throughout the tour (unavoidable) . She would have a great job with a portable amplification system.

Disappointed - It is not what we expected. I would like to see more places instead of more talking. We didn't even go inside the Notre Dame.
