Old Québec Private Walking Tour with Expert Local Guide

Step inside North America's only walled city with a private, expert guide who brings 400 years of French-Canadian history vividly to life. Cobblestone lanes, ramparts, and storied squares — at your own unhurried pace.

What to expect

Your guide meets you steps from the cruise pier and leads you through the UNESCO-listed fortified city, weaving military history, architectural drama, and local legend into every alley. You'll pause on the iconic Dufferin Terrace for sweeping St. Lawrence River views, descend into the storied Petit-Champlain quarter, and linger at Place Royale — the cradle of French civilisation in North America. The private format means you dictate the tempo: slow down for photography, ask unscripted questions, or detour on a whim.

Good to know

Book well in advance — Tommy's calendar fills fast. Old Québec is roughly a 10-minute walk or quick taxi from the cruise pier at the Port of Québec. Allow 3–4 hours. Check your ship's all-aboard time and factor in a buffer.
