Must-see sights for first-time visitors
A first-time visit to any city can be overwhelming. What to see? What to do? To simplify your initial Quebec City visit, I've created the perfect tour for first-time visitors. Think of it as my “greatest hits” as well as my favorite off the beaten tracks spots.
Professional Private Guide
Since 2014, I'm a proud certified Quebec City tour guide. I also had my degree after completing a 3-year college program in Tourism.
Perfect Shore Excursion
Will you be visiting Quebec City with a cruise? Awesome! When possible, I will meet you directly at your cruise terminal.
Tour Pricing
I offer two versions of this Quebec City tour to suit your needs. The 3-hour tour is ideal for fully exploring Old Québec, as it includes more sights and landmarks and allows for a deeper, more immersive experience of the city. If you’re traveling with children or prefer a gentler pace, the 2.5-hour tour follows a similar route with fewer stops and less walking, making it better suited for families and guests with mobility considerations.

Yes. A one-year training or a 3-year technique program in Tourism is mandatory in order to have a tour guide license. This training is recognized by Québec City Professional Tour Guides Association (AGTQ) and an official diploma is given when the student graduates. When guiding, a tour guide must wear his license visibly. Wearing the license is proof of competence, of respect for the municipal laws and of other tour guides. A tour guide not wearing a valid permit contravenes the municipal bylaw and is liable to a substantial fine.
