TOP REASONS TO CHOOSE QUÉBEC 1608 TOURS

WE GUIDE YOU FROM BOOKING TO THE END OF YOUR STAY

 

 

 

·      Before the tour:  a list of recommended sites and activities

At booking time, we provide you with an online list of significant must-see sites situated in Old Québec and its vicinities. For each site relevant to our private tours, you find a short description, links to their different websites and suggestions of activities. This list is a work-in-progress project.

 

·      During the tour:  a narrative adapted to your interests and cultural background

All tour agencies in Québec City are required to hire licensed guides, it is mandatory! We are no exception!

                                

What most agencies don’t do is to train their guides to adapt their narrative to different types of clients. In our opinion, one of the key elements of a memorable experience is to provide information you can understand and relate to. Otherwise, you may be quickly overwhelmed by all the information we share and will not be able to assimilate and enjoy most of the tour content.

                                

Our experts are provided additional training on the US and Canadian history, on the North America’s French-speaking communities and - New in 2024 - on Mexican history.

 

·      After the tour: a complementary self-guided walking tour

A typical walking tour lasts 2.5 to 3 hours and provides a lot of essential information. However, to cover the entire historic zone and more than 400 years of French and British history, it might take more time!

                                

We provide our guests with a Discovery Walk itinerary that allows them to further explore Old Québec. This itinerary is typically not covered during our guided walking tour. The fast walker can cover our Walk within 1.5 hour. The explorer will rather take 2.5 to 4.5 hours to enjoy the whole Walk. Lots of details and website links are provided.

                                

This complimentary Walk is meant to be done after our guided tour, but can also be done before if it’s more convenient.
