An excellent walking tour and guide!
We had an excellent tour guide, Phil, who made the tour interesting and enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable, answered questions well and willingly, and made a long walk seem easy and fascinating. I'd highly recommend him and the tour company! mark

Request Maurice and thank me later
I am an avid walking tour attendee, but Maurice has officially raised the bar impossibly high for any future tours I take :) We’ve all experienced those dry tours where you stand around listening to a guide rattle off forgettable dates. Maurice is the absolute antithesis of that. His passion for Quebec City is vibrant and infectious. Within minutes, the usual formality of a tour completely dissolved; it felt like exploring the city with a brilliant, witty friend who happens to know every fascinating piece of historical drama. Maurice masterfully weaves complex political and religious history into a gripping narrative rather than a lecture, keeping our entire group completely captivated. He was incredibly generous with his time and energy—never rushing us, ensuring everyone felt included, and welcoming every single question with enthusiasm. He even stayed after the tour to help us map out our supper and brunch. Maurice didn't just show us the city; he genuinely made our trip.

Yvonne was our guide and...
Yvonne was our guide and she was terrific. So knowledgeable about the history of Quebec and Quebec City, interesting stories, answered all my questions, shared life experiences. Good pacing too and she also found some places to shelter from the 30mph gusts of wind while continuing the tour. Great morning.

An excellent private tour of old Quebec
We had a wonderful private tour of old Quebec with Louise as our guide. We booked a private tour as 2 in our group of four had some mobility issues and the day of our tour was exceptionally windy. Our guide, Louise was very considerate pacing the tour to our needs. She located nooks that offered protection from the wind and benches for sitting while she regaled us with interesting stories about the history and architecture of old Quebec . Louise was entertaining, knowledgeable , willing to answered our questions and a woman proud of her city. She also provided us with restaurant and shopping tips and some of the present Quebec culture. A private tour worked perfectly for our group.

Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.
How much does Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $256 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 Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 610 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 Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour?
+
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 Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour?
+
Around 214 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Quebec City Walking Tour 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.
