Amazing Walking Tour - This tour was a great way to learn about the basics of Quebec City. I would highly recommend this tour on your first day in Quebec. It helps point out the interesting things to see and do. Then on the rest of our trip we revisited some of the sites. Our tour guide was very informative & funny. We also had fabulous weather that day. And that made things even better

Walking tour of Old Quebec - Very good guide, clear voice and flow at just the right speed. Explanations just sufficiently elaborate. Plus, he had all the answers to our questions. He took into account in his journey that we had a stroller.

Great tour- despite the cold weather - The day we took our 2-hour historical Quebec walking tour it was 16° f. Our guide was excellent! He moved at a comfortable pace for everyone in our party and did a good job of giving us lots of information. He was easy to understand and spoke in loud enough voice that everyone could hear. Because it was so cold. It was a nice to take a couple detours inside some of the churches and then we even stopped for hot cocoa which was great! I assumed because it was so cold that the tour probably would not last the full 2 hours, but it actually went a little beyond which was okay. A few people did leave the group because they were too cold - so make sure you dress appropriately! I will say that you in the tour at the lower part of Old Town, so it does require a lot of stairs. However, there is a funicular you could probably ride down and meet the group at the bottom if you have mobility issues. I would recommend the tour.

Give your visit to Québec some depth and nuance! - We were really glad we went on this tour. Our guide was in character the whole time, incredibly knowledgable, and quite entertaining. He was very open to questions and seemed to really enjoy whenever a tour participant showed interest or curiosity in any detail of old Québec. Attending this tour afforded nuance and backstory to the old town which we would not have otherwise gained. We also got to walk right into a couple neat locations we would have otherwise missed. And, our guide actually lives in old Québec and shared his personal perspective on what it's like to live in a 400-year-old town that has seen much less modernization over the centuries than the rest of the city. If I visit Québec again I will sign up for another Cicerone tour for sure!

The history of Quebec told in costume - Excellent guided tour by a guide dressed as Chevalier Lévy, of remarkable erudition who fascinates his audience. Thank you so much !

Hiking skills required - If I had known there was going to be a lot of very steep hills and a multitude of stairs I would not have booked this tour. Street cleaners and garbage pickup made hearing difficult.
