We aim to make you discover the city differently by passing through lesser-known streets and places in Old Quebec. We are one of the few tour companies entering the Museum of Civilization. Our tour begins near the St. Lawrence River to connect this maritime route with the history of the city. Shopping is not done during our visits even if you are taken to some shops and boutiques, while passing by the streets too commercial. We show you the Holy Door of Quebec and explain the history of the Holy Doors and Holy Years. Finally, in the courtyard of the Seminary, we explain the influence of the Catholic Church on the development of our Quebec society. Visits in French or English, we manage to answer you in Spanish. We conclude close to the place to go shopping, have a drink or eat after your discovery. For 2026, the Award remains the same. Ideal for avoiding crowds.

    Walking Tour: Quebec Differently

    This walking tour was a nice way to get an overview of the city and history. Guy, our guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and thorough and accommodating. NOTE: We did this tour on our first day in Quebec. Our hotel was in lower Quebec, and we met the tour in upper Quebec. Guy told us it was a 15-minute walk which took us about 40 minutes and included the steep hill climb followed by a set of steep stairs, which I wasn't ready for!! Suggest you take a taxi, the Funicular, or the bus if this is your situation!

    Response from the operator: I apologize for this long walk you had to do to join this tour. When I write distance or time to walk, I'm using the App Plans on iPhone. These Apps consider average walkers and the shortest distance. I realize when I met you that walking up a hill did not correspond to your condition. So, I'm sorry for this mistake. I did that tour on a different path that day to finish at the park in Old Quebec where we had the best view on the Snowbirds jet plane of Canada. I hope you appreciated the view on this air show in august.

    The guide was very...

    The guide was very knowledgeable about many aspects of both Quebec and Canada. He made suggestions on how to make the most out of our visit to Canada and was a great conversationalist.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind comment Nagel. I hope you will come back to visit us in Quebec, Canada. You came at the beginning of the season. Think that up to mid-octobre we have a nice weather in Quebec.

    Fun and informative .

    Our guide Guy was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I feel like I really got to know about the history of the city and also many fun facts that we would have never known. During the tour he ran into some acquaintances who were also able to share personal anecdotes. We had a great time. I highly recommend this tour with Guy.

    Response from the operator: Irene and Richard, Thank you for your very kind comment about my visit with you in Old Quebec. It’s a pleasure for me to meet back my friends in town when the spring’s nice weather comes back. I’m glad to know that you’ve also visit the Ste-Anne Basilica on la Cote-de-Beaupre. I hope you will come back at Quebec with friends or family. Guy

    Discover Old Quebec differently: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.

    How much does Discover Old Quebec differently cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quebec City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Discover Old Quebec differently take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quebec City is not rushed.

    Is Discover Old Quebec differently worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Old Quebec differently?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Discover Old Quebec differently suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discover Old Quebec differently?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quebec City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quebec City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discover Old Quebec differently start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quebec City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quebec City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quebec City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular, Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quebec City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quebec City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Discover Old Quebec differently?

    +

    Included: Your spirit to want to discover!. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Discover Old Quebec differently offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Old Quebec differently?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Discover Old Quebec differently wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Discover Old Quebec differently if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Quebec City. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
