The 3-hour tour
CA$69+ taxes · gratuity not included · ≈ US$50
Three hours of history — no tastings, no shopping detours. Nobody else in Quebec City sells this format: between the two-hour classic and the food tour, there was nothing. This tour lives in that gap.
The principle: fewer stops, seen slowly. Six places taken seriously beat fifteen glimpsed from afar.
Twelve people at most. Three hours with a small group builds something ninety minutes cannot.

To replace
Numbers to be measured on the ground (GPS) before publishing — never estimated. The “what if I can’t climb” line will be written with the operations policy.
The route
To replace
Numbered stop captions (a real place + one observation) and photos of the tour — to be produced after field scouting. No generic monument list.
Meeting point
To replace
Exact address · visual landmark · how to spot your guide + grace period — to be written once the point is set (identical on both tour pages).
Before you go
Price, taxes, gratuity
CA$69 + taxes. Gratuity is not included — at your discretion, given directly to your guide. For American visitors, roughly US$50.
Your guide’s language
Every departure is bilingual: the guide moves between English and French to match the group. If the group leans heavily one way, the guide favours that language and keeps you in the loop in the other, one-on-one. Want a tour entirely in your language? That’s the private tour.
Group size
Twelve people at most — small enough to hear your guide and ask your questions.
Bring and wear
Bring & wear
- Closed, comfortable shoes — Old Quebec is cobbled, and it climbs
- A bottle of water
- In winter: layers and good soles
- Your questions — a group of twelve is built for them
Skip
- Heels on cobblestones
- Underestimating February
To replace
Strollers, reduced mobility: an honest answer is coming with the effort sheet’s field measurements.
What it asks of your legs
The “What it asks of you” block above will carry distance, elevation, steps and surfaces.
To replace
GPS numbers to be measured on the ground before publishing — never estimated.
Weather and winter
Departures run year-round — winter is a product here, not a constraint.
To replace
Weather policy (cancellation, rescheduling, thresholds) to be written before launch.
Cancellation
To replace
Cancellation policy to be decided (content blocker no. 5) — no promise displayed until it’s set.
Shorter? The 90-minute tour — CA$35. Or private, in a single language: private tours.
