About this experience
Explore Quebec City on this private, guided walking tour. Your guide will lead your group on a walk through the Old Quebec to relive the history of North America's oldest city through its impressive archaeological sites, historic buildings, picturesque houses, spectacular cathedrals, imposing fortifications and its narrow streets. The advantage of a private tour is that it will be tailored to your needs and interests.
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.
