Bonjour! My name is Marie-Pierre, and welcome to my hometown, Québec City!

There’s so much to explore here, and it’s not just about the Château Frontenac! Québec City is rich in history, culture, and amazing stories that I can't wait to share with you.

I’ve lived in and around Québec City all my life, and I’m so proud to call it home. I studied Tourism at Collège Mérici, and after graduating, I started running my own tours as a freelance guide. Honestly, I have the best job in the world! Meeting people from all over is such an incredible experience.

On my tours, you’ll discover Québec City's vibrant culture, its economy, its people, and the challenges it faces as a modern city. I’ll take you to the main historical sites and plenty of hidden gems, connecting the past with the present.

I’m also a blogger, so I love giving recommendations on the best local restaurants, pubs, and attractions. Helping my guests plan their trips is like being a hotel concierge, and I love it!

After our tour, you’ll feel confident navigating the city on your own and understand why Québec City is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Plus, you’ll get to know a local – that personal connection is really important to me!

So, grab your walking shoes, and let’s explore!

- I studied the tourism industry for 3 years at Collège Mérici and have a degree in Tourism.
- I am a licensed Québec City tour guide.
- I’m a proud member of the Québec City Tour Guide Association.
- I absolutely love photography, and I'll be thrilled to share my favorite photo spots with you. 

*Just a quick note: I’m not a driver, so all my tours are walking tours. The only exception is the "Step-On Tour," where I join the group on their coach bus.


À bientôt!/ See you soon!
