Description
Discover Quebec City on a guided walking tour. See the Notre-Dame-de-Quebec Basilica, walk on the fortifications, and end with a glass of wine on a rooftop terrace.
Prepare to be transported to another era. Meet your passionate local guide and set off on an immersive, sensory walking tour through the heart of Vieux-Québec—a UNESCO World Heritage site and the only walled city in North America north of Mexico.
A Journey Through Cobblestones and Empires
As you stroll along the winding, centuries-old cobblestone streets, you will feel the echoes of the past beneath your feet. Admire the stunning, preserved architecture dating all the way back to the early days of New France, featuring charming stone facades and steeply pitched roofs. Your expert guide will bring history to life, unraveling the complex, captivating tapestry of the city's dual French and English heritage. Along the way, we will veer off the beaten path to discover enchanting hidden gems, tucked-away courtyards, and secret alleys that most tourists walk right past.
Iconic Landmarks and Hidden Histories
Prepare to be dazzled as we step inside the awe-inspiring Notre-Dame-de-Québec Basilica-Cathedral, renowned for its breathtaking gold-leaf interior, intricate stained glass, and deep historical roots. From there, we will transition to the fascinating Morrin Centre. Built as a 19th-century public prison, it now houses a stunning, spellbinding Victorian library—a true literary sanctuary steeped in dark and fascinating history.
Footsteps of the Founders
Experience the true scale of the city's military past by walking directly atop the legendary stone fortifications. You will stand on the very ground where Samuel de Champlain—the "Father of New France"—built his first settlement, and explore the historic squares where the earliest chapters of Canadian politics and society made their grand debut.
A Toast to the City
Throughout the journey, we will pause at Québec City’s most iconic, postcard-perfect vantage points—guaranteeing you capture the ultimate photos of the majestic Château Frontenac and the rolling St. Lawrence River. Finally, reward yourself for a day of exploration. We will conclude our tour by ascending to one of the city's premier rooftop bars. Relax, take a breath, and sip a crisp glass of wine as you soak in a breathtaking, panoramic sweep of the city skyline you just explored.
