Very warm welcome in beautiful and historic city of Québec. I am an active guide since 2012, and have guided small and big groups in English, German and French. Enthusiastic and passionate with a sense of humor, I have a very good knowledge of history and geography. I can talk about these subjects and be entertaining. I have been living in the city for 50 years, therefore I can say a lot about everyday living in the city and the area. I like to talk about history when it can explain the events that follow, the dates of events are important only when put in a chronological context. I think guiding should be a learning experience as well as entertaining. At the end of a tour, the people I guide have a better understanding of the city, the province of Quebec and Canada and had a good time. I communicate very well both ways: talking and listening, therefore the tours listed can be custom tailored to your specific needs and expectations. Please contact me before the tours for proposed modifications, if any. I look forward to show you my wonderful city and its surroundings. B. Sc from the Université de Montréal. I am a licensed guide of the city of Québec since 2012. Member of the Historical society of Québec. Member of the Guide's association of the city of Québec. Additional university courses in Economics, History and Languages. No restrictions.

Overview of your Quebec City tour

Québec is a jewel of world heritage surrounded by natural beauty. With this tour, we see it all ! We start with the jewel of world heritage: the historical lower and upper town. Then we ride on the Plains of Abraham, site of the historical battle that won over New France to the British Empire, visit places well liked by the Quebecers , but not so well known by tourists. And then, the icing on the cake: the beautiful surroundings. Since there is a lot to see, I suggest that we start off with the highest falls in eastern Canada (higher even than the Niagara Falls) the Montmorency Falls, beautiful even in winter! Then we can cross over to bucolic and historical Orleans Island. Once there, you have an option of visiting family wineries, cider producers or black currant wine farms. Back on the mainland, there is an option between the pilgrimage site of Sainte-Anne de Beaupré or the waterfalls of the canyon of the Sainte-Anne River. A wonderful day!!

Beautiful Quebec was an amazing adventure for my spouse and I. We have been on excursions in many countries before as part of a larger tour group with mixed results. When we looked at the city of Quebec and the surrounding area and all that there was to see, we made the decision to book a private tour. It was a little more expensive, but it was simply amazing. Paul was a fantastic guide who had his own car and he took us to all the big tourist destinations as well as many we had never heard of. Paul had an amazing knowledge of local history and showed us how Quebec got to be the city it is today. We are both in our 70's, and don't move as quickly as we once did. Paul took that into account and never once made us feel like we were dragging him down. He had many suggestions of the best places to take photos as we were seeing the area. We very highly recommend this tour.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag mit Paul in Québec und Umgebung. Er hat sich ganz toll an unsere Wünsche orientiert und sich unserem Laufverhalten entsprechend angepasst. Für uns war es ein voller Tag mit vielen Eindrücken. Glücklich waren wir über einen sehr gut deutsch sprechenden Reiseleiter. Danke Paul

We had a wonderful day trip with Paul. We started out with a walking tour around the city then headed out to see some wonderful sites outside the city. Paul was very informative….filling in information that we hadn't learned while seeing some of the city on our own. He was very attentive to what we wanted to do and helped us to see some of the local non-touristic sites. We would recommend him to anyone and would definitely try to book him again if we return to Quebec City.

Paul C was an outstanding guide. He went out of his way to accommodate us, changing the order of our itinerary to better suit the weather. He was knowledgeable, funny and very enjoyable to be with. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Carol

Your Quebec City tour itinerary

Like every tour I guide, the itinerary is tailored to your preferences. The order is a suggestion. We have a more intimate contact with the historical lower and upper town in the morning. Then we can go before the parliament building and on to the plains of Abraham. We also see: Typical and well liked but not so well known areas of Québec, such as Montcalm and Sillery districts. We then drive east to visit: -Montmorency Falls -Orleans Island -Beaupré coast and Sainte-Anne de Beaupré basilica Time permitting, the spectacular waterfalls thru the Sainte Anne river canyon.
