Overview

Explore Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on foot with a licensed local guide, from Upper Town down to the cobblestone streets of Lower Town.

Start at Montmorency Park and walk along Rue des Remparts to City Hall and Place d'Armes. Take photos of the Château Frontenac, see the Samuel de Champlain Monument and enjoy the river views from Dufferin Terrace. Continue past the Wolfe-Montcalm Monument, Rue Saint-Louis, the National Assembly, Rue Saint-Jean and the Morrin Centre, then head down to Lower Town for the Québec City Mural, Place Royale and Rue du Petit Champlain before finishing at the Royal Battery.

Along the way, your guide shares the stories behind each stop and tips on where to eat and what to see during your stay.

The tour is gratuity-based: the price you pay on City Sky Diving is a booking fee, and at the end you tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth.
