This tour was really fun and informative, but for future customers please know that there is a lot of standing in one spot while the guide gives information. So if it is a cold day, dress very very warmly! We were freezing despite our layers, but glad we stuck it out.

Our guide was in character as Lord Dufferin. He was so informative about the history of Quebec. He had details that made the city come alive for us. Highly recommend.

Again I was late…coming from Lévis and had to find my group. I did find them and had a lovely time. Didn’t seem to be about Christmas…just churches and founders. We didn’t go in any of them…sad, as I love the architectures of them. Will have to go back and see them myself. The boardwalk was interesting. Our guide was very informative and you can tell he loves Quebec.

Fun tour of Quebec City, mixing history with Christmas storytelling. The guide was very knowledgeable of the city, and dressed the part. Highly recommended!

The Christmas Magic tour of Old Quebec was more than we imagined. We learned so much about the history of Christmas, and how traditions developed. We learned how the French and English celebrated Christmas differently. Chantal was a wonderful guide! You will have to climb hills and down stairs.
