Our family was visiting Quebec for the first time and we were looking for a good overview of the Old Town. Shadya was a great guide; she asked questions about our interests, was very knowledgeable, friendly and full of stories. She guided us down the many steps, up and down hills, and to my relief, took us to the Funicular as an alternative to many more steps back up to the Upper Old Town. Shadya's English is excellent and she provided some great dining and ice-cream recommendations. I highly recommend Shadya and would book with her again.

100% recommend Shadya. She is knowledgeable and gives a lot of local color in her remarks. She's also a fun person to walk the city with. The pace was perfect and we felt like we had an excellent overview of Quebec city.

We loved our tour with Shadya. She made it fun for everyone in our family (including teens) and we’re still talking about what we learned from her about Quebec City.

Shadya is a gem. You want your next tour with her. Her knowledge is so deep (she teaches the new tour guides) but her personality and style are as important. She can "read the room" and give you exactly the tour you want. IT rained pretty hard during our tour (and was cold) so she got her car and we drove for part of the tour. we give her an A+ rating and would do 6 stars if we could

I feel that Old Quebec really just doesn't have much to see/do and stories are made up / told to make it take longer to tour.

This was a simply amazing tour with Shadya. She was engaging, knowledgable, and very professional. The three hours went by much too quickly and we would have welcomed more time with Shadya. Tours by Locals came through again!!
