Explore Québec City on this private, guided walking tour and experience the city in a way group tours simply can’t offer.
Your dedicated guide will lead you through Old Québec, bringing to life the rich history of North America’s oldest city. Discover impressive archaeological sites, centuries-old buildings, picturesque homes, grand cathedrals, imposing fortifications, and charming narrow streets that each hold a story of their own.
Because it’s private, every moment is tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Want more photography stops, deeper historical insights, or local recommendations? Your guide adapts the tour just for you, creating a personalized experience you won’t find anywhere else.
If the funicular is closed, we can arrange cab transport to avoid having to walk up the hill, or we can provide a ticket to be used later in the stay, at the customer's discretion (if they wish to walk up). A 15-20% tip is strongly recommended at the end of the visit.

5.00Louis was incredibly knowledgeable about Quebec and its history. He was also very friendly and personable. Brownie points for being Colombian, as my wife is from there and loves meeting other Colombians worldwide.

5.00Best time with knowledgeable and very informative tour guide. Highly recommend Louis, our tour guide. He has shown us Quebec from a bit different angle, discussed history and politics, religion and economy of the province. We are very lucky to meet him. He is a real credit to the tour company .

5.00The three hour private walking tour of Old Quebec City was a highlight of our trip. Lynn, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful and made the experience so enjoyable. Her knowledge, passion, and love for Quebec and its history was extraordinary. She met us at our hotel and was incredibly caring and considerate of our needs. We have booked many tours during our travels and this ranks among the best. We highly recommend this tour and definitely request Lynn.
Loved the Tour

5.00This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Sam was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area, the culture and the customs of Quebec. He used maps and stories to engage us. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Private guide with Denis is the only way to go!

5.00It was amazing!! The best way to see both old and new Quebec in a short amount of time! The best part for us was having our guide meet us at the port. It just made the day start easier and with less confusion. Our guide was Denis and we couldn't have asked for better! You could just feel his love and pride for his county. He had such a warm personality and was so authentic. We just really enjoyed our time with him. He was willing to go wherever we requested but he also showed us some really off the beaten path sites as well. I was SO grateful to not be a part of a large group. I came away from the day wishing I had more time to explore Quebec. It was a beautiful, quaint and welcoming place.
Best tour of our visit to Canada!

5.00We had Murielle as our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing. She personalised the tour for us and took us to places that we would never have even visited. Murielle’s knowledge, and passion for Quebec City just gave us so much joy and will remain a very special highlight of our visit to Canada. I truly recommend this tour and if you have Murielle as your tour guide you are in for a very special treat.
