Review of Quebec City’s two-hour historic walking tour, covering Upper and Lower Town, top landmarks, expert guides, and winter tips.

“Anne was a great tour guide. Her energy level, pride in Quebec Cuty, knowledge base, all added to this tour. We always orient ourselves to a new city by taking a walking tour. This one did not disappoint. Anne concentrated on the upper town with its history of the Citadel, Le Château Frontenac and monuments of founders, I found it compelling that she included women in the history of Quebec such as the impact of the Ursuline Sisters and the Filles du Roi, King’s daughters. Very professional your group. I strongly recommend. Nice to be either a group that included mostly Canadians.”

Taste Gastown’s diverse food scene, sip local drinks, and hear Vancouver’s Wild West stories on this relaxed three-hour walking tour.
“A wonderful way to try different cuisines in the Gastown area and learn about this area’s history. The foods included Japanese chicken karaage, Norwegian waffles, French potatoe dish, Italian pasta and more. We also got some alcoholic drinks as a part of the meals, either a local brewed beer or a locally sourced wine. Of course there are nonalcoholic choices too. In addition we ended up going to one of the restaurants the following day for dinner. We really enjoyed our tour guide, Connor. Great choice for 3 hours in Vancouver.”
