Overview of your Quebec City tour

Let’s start the day discovering Old Quebec. We'll stroll around Place Royale, Cradle of French Civilization, and its narrow streets to uncover the secrets of this wonderful UNESCO World Heritage site. I'll make history come alive with anecdotes about people and landmarks we’ll see, such as Chateau Frontenac, Notre-Dame, and Battlefields Park. This part of the tour is mostly by walk. After, we'll get the car. The journey will also let you feel and taste the superb Isle of Orleans, a designated historical district. This “Enchanting Island” will charm you with its scenery and heritage. We’ll stop at lovely family places to savour the island’s bounty and sample fresh products — wine, chocolate, and more. On our way back, we’ll stop at splendid Montmorency Falls, 1.5 times higher than Niagara, to enjoy a scenic view of the St. Lawrence River.

My family had an amazing day with Shadya. Our daughter has some mobility issues and Shadya worked with us to make everything easy and fun. She planned a route to accommodate my daughter's wheelchair and was so thoughtful and prepared. It allowed us to all relax and enjoy the day without thinking about logistics at all. She knew great stories and really took the time to show us so many wonderful elements of Quebec City and the surrounding area. Shadya is also just a wonderful person to spend a day with. We highly, highly recommend her and feel like we made a friend in Quebec City.

This was great tour with a wonderful guide. Shadya was one of the most pleasant guides I have ever used. My wife and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. I have traveled a lot and used many guides and Shadya was a joy to be with, very well versed in local history and culture. If you are planning a Quebec visit and want to get most of your stay then Shadya is there to help.

Shadya K. picked my wife and I up at the cruise ship terminal and provided us with a full-day tour of Quebec City, the Isle of Orleans, and Montmorency Falls. She crafted a wonderful tour for us with just the right combination of walking and driving. Shadya is a fabulous guide. She is knowledgeable, organized, flexible, warm, and a great teacher and communicator. Her stories helped bring the history of the city alive. We had a great day. We recommend Shadya highly and without any reservation.

This was an excellent tour from beginning to end! From our first meeting with Shadya and every stop along the way, she was interested in customizing our day to our interests, pace and liking. She showed us Quebec City in full- and her information and stories were fascinating. Her knowledge of the city, enjoyment of her job as a guide (and teacher) and easy-going personality made this tour a great one. Highly recommend.
