    The driver (Jean) was very knowledgeable and engaging. We had a chance to see some of the areas outside of Quebec City which were beautiful - particularly Ile D’Orleans. The Basilica of Ste Anne de Beaupre was stunning. Montmorency Falls was impressive and offered a variety of activities.
    Our criticism comes about a stop at a copper art gallery. We were there at least 40 minutes. We would have much preferred more time at the Basilica where our visit felt rushed. At the Falls, we arrived about 45 minutes before closing which made some people reluctant to take advantage of the many activities available there.
    Overall, it was an enjoyable tour and the driver was very entertaining but the stop at the art gallery was overlong and interfered with time at more touristy attractions.

    Although we assumed it was going to be a guided tour, our driver was personable, prompt, and attentive, AND she informed us immediately that she was NOT a tour guide. She drove us back to our hotel through the countryside rather than the highway so we could see Canadian culture. We were able to engage her in meaningful conversation comparing our cultures.

    Our guide, Judith, is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the City and how it was affected by world events of the various time periods. She is very personable and easy-going, and she took time to answer our questions. We highly recommend the private tour. Ask for Judith!!

    Our guide Odette met us at our hotel and led us on a walking tour throughout old Quebec City, customizing the tour to our preferences. She started by telling us about the area’s history --including the British and French occupations. We viewed significant and historical buildings, the tourist shopping areas, the only cigar store (by request) and more. Odette is very knowledgeable and shares her insights.

    For a comprehensive and meaningful tour, I highly recommend Odette.

    We were really glad we went on this tour. Our guide was in character the whole time, incredibly knowledgable, and quite entertaining. He was very open to questions and seemed to really enjoy whenever a tour participant showed interest or curiosity in any detail of old Québec. Attending this tour afforded nuance and backstory to the old town which we would not have otherwise gained. We also got to walk right into a couple neat locations we would have otherwise missed. And, our guide actually lives in old Québec and shared his personal perspective on what it's like to live in a 400-year-old town that has seen much less modernization over the centuries than the rest of the city. If I visit Québec again I will sign up for another Cicerone tour for sure!

    We were assigned a guide called Renald. He was a true Quebec City local and clearly had a great knowledge of his city and love for it. As a private tour just for the 2 of us, we were looking for a highly personalised experience and Renald certainly did that! He tailored the tour and engaged with us on everything we asked. We were extremely happy with our experience.

    Tommy Byrne is entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Quebec and the city in general. He gave us recommendations for restaurants and the best French onion soup:).

    Fascinating history of Quebec made more so because it was clear that Tommy has actively worked in preservation of the artifacts of the city. He also knows the locals and was obviously well respected (a local referred a person to him for a tour during our walk).

    Loved this walk and highly recommend.

    **Wear good sturdy walking shoes. This tour is not for people with physical limitations— Quebec is hilly with cobblestones.

    My husband & I hopped on rented ebikes and headed for lower Quebec City's historical section dodging parts where we were already staying, and learned about the unknown parts. (The advantages of a private tour.) We pedaled away from the town to a different neighborhood where inside staircases were designed to go on the outside saving interior space. We stopped at a vast indoor market where we picked up necessities and had gratis coffees from our guide. It was great to explore the vast array of bike paths during our 7 miles. A former teacher, Guy learned more English for the job. Bravo!

    We were looking for a private tour of the attempted invasion of Quebec by Benedict Arnold. Michel took us on an excellent tour that included all of the important locations and gave us his insight into the battles. He is very knowledgeable and provided us with a detailed history of the events of the invasion and a bit of the history and culture of the Quebecois. Just what we were looking for!
