The best way to discover Quebec City is by foot. You'll get access to cobblestone streets an hidden passages, and enjoy some breakthrough sight views on the city and its surrounding. During this tour, I'll point you to noteworthy venues and restaurants that you might want to spend some time. We'll have the opportunity to take the glass funicular to appreciate the historic landscapes like the stunning views on the St Lawrence river. Along this mostly stop and go walk, you will get to discover the cradle of the French culture in North America, including some key French, English and Canadian architectural gems. With my eyes as born and raised Quebecer, I will happily share anecdotes with humour to convey how the city was built and how it evolved through the last four centuries. Last but not least, you will also get to know what Quebecers did to protect the French culture, including the French language.
