About this experience
We seek to make you discover the city differently by passing through lesser-known streets and places in Old Quebec. We are one of the few tour companies that enter the Museum of Civilization. We begin our visits near the St. Lawrence River to connect this maritime route with the history of the city.
We do not allow shopping during our visits even if we take you into some shops and boutiques, while passing by the streets too commercial.
We show you the Holy Door of Quebec and explain the history of the Holy Doors and Holy Years. We conclude in the courtyard of the Seminary to show you the influence of the Catholic Church on the development of our Quebec society.
Our visits are in French or English, but we manage to answer you in Spanish or Italian. We conclude by showing you the places where you can go shopping, have a drink or eat after your discovery of Quebec.
