Awesome walking tour! - Keven our guide was awesome! He gave us a great overview of the city and its history. He also included more detailed history of the city’s people and events throughout the centuries. He answered many and all questions asked by our group. We’ve done many walking tours around the world and this quite possibly has been the most enjoyable!

Interesting and Informative - Very interesting historical tour with “Louis Hebert”. Quick pace between stops, left a few people behind at times. Lasted exactly two hours.

Walking tour through Old Quebec. - Our guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable, with some humor thrown in too. We had a good mix of walking and learning about the history here. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Not a bad tour but hard to follow. - This guide was a bit difficult to follow. The timeline wasn't very clear and though our guide was interesting it seemed disjointed, maybe because it was a big group and the old town was so busy. We went on a second tour the next day through the park service and everything was so well explained and it was easy to understand the timeline. We'd recommend skipping this tour, there are many other guides that may make the history more clear. .
