Judith LaVoie was an absolutely fabulous tour guide. She is a scholar, a professor, and a lawyer rolled into one. With her blending of history and culture with geography and climate she entertained us while she educated us. You can tell she loves this business!! She even met us in front of the house where we were staying. Ask for her by name and you will really get your money’s worth. She went for 2 1/2 hours and would have gone longer but we had a tour of the Fairmont Hotel we had to attend. Merci, Judith!

Our guide, Judith, was fantastic. She led our family (including semi-tolerant teens) on a conversation-based historical guided walk through the Old City. Her knowledge and wit made for a good time. It was nice to have a guide to ourselves so that we could ask questions and steer the conversation to our interests. This was a highlight of our trip. Kudos to Judith for sparking interest and compliments from the teenagers as well!

My group would highly recommend this tour. As for the tour guide, Judith...where do I begin? She captivated us with the immense knowledge that she has for the area. It warmed our hearts to hear her say that she set out to find out about her heritage and now shares it with others. It was a tour from a local which always gives more insight to other parts of the city besides the "touristy" parts. Additionally, Judith's demeanor, kindness, and light heartedness brought more than just the delivery of information. She made it personal by learning about each of us. We cannot say enough! Thank you.

Judith was a superb tour guide with extensive knowledge of history and all else relevant to Quebec and the region. She went above and beyond to ensure she adapted the information she shared to what my husband and I would find most interesting and most relevant. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is simply outstanding!

Fantastic experience with a personal guide! Judith was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us a very in depth account of Quebec City’s role in the history of North America. She pointed out so many details we never would have noticed on our own. She also made several good restaurant recommendations. The nice thing about doing a private tour is the tour becomes a conversation and more personalized rather than someone just talking at us along with lots of other people. This was a great start to our experience in Quebec City and helped us better understand everything we saw during the rest of our time there.

We can’t speak highly enough of our trip to Quebec – a real highlight was the tour we took of the Old City with Judith as our guide. A really interesting and lively tour with comprehensive local knowledge and history, presented with reference to pertinent international events. Highly recommended, as is the delicious afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac.

Judith is a gem. It is a unique cultural experience from the perspective of a native from Quebec City. This is not your typical tour with many people walking through the old city looking at sites and rote historical facts memorized from a guidebook. It is a tailored and personalized experience from someone who is passionate about sharing the history of Quebec and the Old City. Judith is funny and engaging, as well as a wealth of knowledge. You will not be disappointed. We really enjoyed our time with Judith. Take a personalized tour from a local. You will not be disappointed. She knows her history and geography.
Highly recommended.

This was a truly outstanding walking tour, especially if you're intellectually curious and want to avoid the large group format. Judith is a pleasure - she herself clearly enjoys the subject of Quebec City's history, which she can seamlessly discuss from any number of angles. The tour is relatively free-form, as Judith adjusts the conversation to whichever aspects of the city you seem to be interested in (she even brings maps and charts, which actually made it even more fun). You come away with a real sense of this fascinating city, from someone who is proud of her roots here. Highly recommended.

Judith’s extensive knowledge of Quebec City and lively mind make this a uniquely engaging tour. If you enjoy having the opportunity to ask (and answer!) questions, this is the tour for you. Judith is an educator at heart, and her personal history with the city adds another lens for visitors to see the city through. My husband and and I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Our tour with Judith was an absolute delight. In truth, it often felt more like a stroll through the city with a very knowledgable, old friend — conversational and personalized, never a lecture or canned presentation. As a personal guided tour, my partner and I had every opportunity to ask questions and tailor the tour to our interests or curiosities. And Judith's orientation toward the natural world — geography, climate, etc. — gave very rich context to the historical events. We've been on many group historical tours in many cities but Judith has spoiled us — we're sold on the value of personal tours where ever we will go now.
