    Great guide, great tour.

    Sam was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable yet never pretentious. He loves his city very much, but doesn’t take things too seriously.

    Aimie_D · October 2026

    Beautiful and informative

    This was a nice your with a friendly and knowledgeable local but was very difficult in my wheelchair. I expected some difficulty but was still surprised at the lack of accessible sidewalk ramps. Many areas have ramps that have very large ledges that are difficult for wheelchairs. Our tour was still really nice and I would recommend it to others.

    Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular cost?

    +

    Prices start at $42 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 Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,854 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular?

    +

    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 Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular?

    +

    Around 649 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular 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 Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour, Old Quebec City Food Tour with 10+ Authentic Local Tastings. 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 Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular?

    +

    Included: Funicular Entrance; 2 Hours Guided Walking Tour; and Licensed Local guide. Not included: Hotel pickup and dropoff; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
