Explore Old Quebec on a guided walking tour and learn about its history. Discover the city's role in World War I and World War II, and visit the Naval Museum of Quebec.
Meet your guide and set off on an immersive walking tour through the heart of Vieux-Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the only walled city in North America north of Mexico. Learn about the foundational history that made Québec what it is today, and uncover the city's vital, lesser-known role in World War I and World War II.
As you stroll along the winding, centuries-old cobblestone streets, admire the stunning, preserved architecture dating all the way back to the early days of New France. 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, veer off the beaten path to discover enchanting hidden gems, tucked-away courtyards, and secret alleys that most tourists walk right past. 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, 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.
Experience the true scale of the city's military past by walking directly atop the legendary stone fortifications. 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 made their grand debut.
Shift from colonial battles to global conflicts and dive deep into the region's 20th-century wartime operations. Get the exclusive chance to visit an active naval reserve facility housing the Naval Museum of Quebec. Get up close with authentic artifacts, uniforms, and personal relics dating back to the early and mid-1900s.
