The Experience

Your guide meets you at your hotel in Old Quebec and leads you through the Lower Town first, past the Quebec City Mural and into Place-Royale, where the city's oldest buildings cluster around a square that has held commerce and life for centuries. From there you climb the Breakneck Steps into Upper Town, where the pace and the sights shift — wider streets, grander buildings, the weight of institutions. The funicular ticket gets you down the cliff face without the walk back up; if it's closed, your guide arranges a cab or saves the ticket for later in your stay, your choice.

The route itself is fixed in outline — Dufferin Terrace, the Fortifications' gates and walls, Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral, City Hall, the Tourny Fountain, Parliament — but the tour is not. Want to stop for twenty minutes at one plaza instead of five? Photograph the hotel that shows up in every travel magazine? Hear the archaeology of a particular street corner instead of moving on? Your guide adjusts. That's what private means here. A group tour holds a schedule; this one holds your curiosity.

The walk covers a moderate distance across uneven terrain and narrow streets, so comfortable shoes matter. The tour runs two to three hours and operates in all weather, so dress for what's outside. Groups stay at eight people maximum, though larger parties can be arranged. Hotel pickup is included, so you don't navigate to a meeting point on your first morning in the city.
