Gare du Palais
Built in 1915 in the heart of Lower Town, the Palace Station seduces with its castle-style architecture, similar to that of Château Frontenac, with its glass hall and decorative steel arches. Still active today as a Via Rail and intercity bus terminal, it is one of Canada's heritage railway stations.
Pass by without stopping
St. Roch Church
Built between 1914 and 1923, Saint-Roch Church is the largest church in Quebec City, with its medieval Revival architecture mixing Gothic on the outside and Romanesque on the inside, as well as its two 45-metre steeples. The spiritual and historical heart of the neighbourhood, it is home to one of the few remaining active crypts in Québec City and today hosts the immersive AURA show, which transforms its vaults into a painting of light and music.
Pass by without stopping
Cartier-Brebeuf National Historic Site
It is located in Limoilou at the confluence of the Saint-Charles and Lairet rivers. This 6.8 hectare park commemorates the wintering of Jacques Cartier and his companions in 1535 - 1536, very close to the Iroquoian village of Stadaconé, and the establishment of the first residence of Jesuit missionaries in Quebec City.

Maison Dorion-Coulombe
Built in the last quarter of the 18th century by the Dorion family, this former farmhouse was saved from demolition in 1975 before finding refuge on the banks of the Saint-Charles River in Limoilou. Today, it houses the Saint-Charles River Interpretation Centre and serves as the gateway to the linear park, with a permanent exhibit on the history and riparian ecosystems.

Unique to Quebec
Gil is unique to Quebec . If you want to see the other side of the city and avoid the tourist traps and want some great memories and photographs and understand the area get on this tour . Gil is a bank of information and takes you to sights you won’t find yourself or with the guides in the old town . We saw and felt what it was like outside the tourist view of the city . We highly recommend his Pedi cab tour perfect for couples . Let the bike the strain and return with a few provisions for happy hour .

Touring Quebec on 3 Wheels
Our 3 hour gourmet rickshaw tour with Gil was fabulous. Gil took us to lots of different areas of Quebec City, into neighbourhoods with interesting architecture, through beautiful parks, accommodated our request to stop at a pharmacy/drug store, and shared lots of history about the port. Our stop at the Grand Marche was interesting & we sampled 5 different products & had some free time to explore. Gil couldn’t do enough for us, even dropping us back to our hotel in the lower city. Thanks Gil for a great experience. Robyn & Arnie, Australia
Response from the operator: Hello Robyn and Arnie, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to show you a different side of Québec City through the Lower Town neighbourhoods, its history, architecture, and hidden gems. I’m glad you enjoyed the stop at the Grand Marché de Québec, the tastings, and the flexibility of the tour to fit your needs. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Québec one day! Gil

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Route Gourmet: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.
How much does Route Gourmet cost?
+
Prices start at $142 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 Route Gourmet 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 Route Gourmet worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Route Gourmet?
+
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 Route Gourmet 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 Route Gourmet?
+
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 Route Gourmet 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 Route Gourmet?
+
Included: Point of Sale Products. Not included: Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Route Gourmet include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Quebec City. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Route Gourmet 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 Route Gourmet?
+
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 Route Gourmet wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Route Gourmet if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
