Book without hesitation, Tours Accolade Your Roots Private Walking Tour
I booked the Your Roots Private Walking Tour 2.5 months in advance for a September tour, next time I willl book earlier. Working with Xavier was easy and pleasant. His responses were prompt, complete, and very accommodating. I already knew a fair amount about my ancestors and that they were early settlers in Quebec City but Tour Accolades and Kim, The French Canadian Genealogist, were able to find new information on a maternal side! Plus, the intoduction to the PRDH database has added a whole new layer for my genealogy research. Our guide, Jocelyne, skillfully wove my ancestors into her stories as we walked Old Quebec. Her knowlege of Quebec City's history is outstanding and not the tidbits you find in tour guides. She shared stories not only of Quebec City's general history but included specifics about my family, even introducing me to Fromagerie Ferme Audet - Quartier Petit Champlain, to whom I am related! Really, you need to try their goat milk ice cream -- and I am not just saying that because I am related to them! The cost of the tour is a true value and the experience priceless. Thank you Jocelyne, Xavier and Kim for a memoriable experience.

Outstanding tour!
Our guide (Neil) was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and informative. He added (at our request) a stop at one of his favorite coffee/pastry shops and quickly remembered all seven of us by name, hometown, and background
Response from the operator: Thank you Neil for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the private tour Neil provided!

Old Quebec:Touch and Feel (for low vision)
We booked a private “Old Quebec: Touch and Feel” walking tour with Tours Accolade, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Quebec City. From the booking process onward, Xavier was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating. The two-hour tour is specifically designed for low vision visitors, and it is exceptionally well thought out. Xavier provides detailed historical and archaeological information, but what truly makes this tour special is how he engages all the senses to bring Old Quebec to life. This is not a typical walking tour. Xavier uses touch, sound, and spatial awareness to complement his explanations, making the experience immersive and accessible. He was completely “on point” and attentive for the entire tour. My wife has low vision and absolutely loved the experience. She found it extremely valuable and was genuinely grateful that a tour like this exists for low vision travelers. It allowed her to fully experience and connect with the city in a way that standard tours cannot. We highly recommend Xavier and the “Touch and Feel” tour to anyone with low vision visiting Quebec City—and to anyone who values inclusive, meaningful travel experiences.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Mike! It was a real pleasure to guide you both and I’m extremely happy you enjoyed the effort and thought put in that tour. :)

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.
How much does Private Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade cost?
+
Prices start at $281 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 Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade 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 Private Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 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 Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade?
+
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 Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade 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 Private Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade?
+
Around 15 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 Private Walking Tour in Old Quebec by Tours Accolade 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.
