GRAND TOUR QUÉBEC · 46°48′ N, 71°12′ W · FOUNDED 2026

The old city, told slowly — in both languages.

Every departure is bilingual — your guide moves between English and French to match the group.

There’s no departure to hunt for: the one that suits you is simply the next one. Your guide leads the tour in both languages, following the group in front of them. A French-English couple, a family hosting American friends, a half-and-half group — nobody waits their turn.

What happens if the group leans one way?

We tell you before, not during.

Straight answers

What happens if the group leans one way?

If the group is mostly one language, your guide favours it and keeps you in the loop in the other, one-on-one. We’d rather tell you up front.

Do tours run in winter?

Yes — year-round. Winter isn’t the off-season here; it’s Quebec City.

Is the gratuity included?

No. It’s shown below the price, at your discretion, given directly to your guide.
