The Grand Walking Tour is great for those who either have only a few hours in Quebec City or are staying a few days. We provide an understanding of the history and the everyday-life of the World Heritage Site that is Old Quebec City. We cover the history but activities, museums, nightlife of the city are not overlooked. The Grand Tour is always conducted on a leasurely paced downhill path. Let us introduce you to Quebec City by joining our Grand Walking Tour!

The Grand Tour starts from Place d'Armes (Armoury Square), right at the heart of the Old Town, with a general introduction to the history of Quebec City and its importance in time. The Dufferin Terrace with its breathtaking view of surrounding landscapes, the St-Lawrence River and the Citadel (star-shaped fort built in the 1820s) follow. The tour curves around famous Chateau Frontenac and enters the shades of the Governors' Garden. The Grand Tour pauses to recapture a few of the most notorious events and people in Canadian history whether they came to life on the Plains of Abraham or at nearby Chateau Frontenac.
