Bonjour ! Discover Quebec-City, Lévis, and the surrounding areas with me as your private guide. I am available to take you on a journey through history, culture, and heritage almost every day. My TBL calendar may show as "red" but don't let that deter you! I often work with colleagues to ensure I can still give you a tour. If you see that I am unavailable, feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to accommodate you. What can you expect from my tours? - A warm and friendly experience - A thorough overview of the area, at a relaxed pace - Insights into local history and captivating anecdotes - A better understanding of political and cultural issues - An exploration of French-Canadian culture, including food, language, architecture, and more - Personalized attention and answers to your questions, along with recommendations for the best spots to visit. I specialize in several areas of focus: - Military history - Women's history - American history in Quebec City - Off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods like Old Lévis, Old Lauzon, St Jean Baptiste, and St Roch - Genealogy-based tours using your family tree, if available - Polysensorial tours for the blind and visually impaired. Uncover your French-Canadian roots with a tailored tour, based on your family tree. If you don't have one, I work with a professional genealogist who can help. My military history tours showcase military landmarks, monuments, and discuss sieges, battles, and the impact of military history on Quebec. Each tour is tailored depending on your specific needs, interests, pace, background, preferred itinerary. Weather and crowds will have an influence too. Whether you want to focus on the highlights, go off the beaten path, or a combination, I am here to make it happen. I am not only a tour guide who is passionate about my work but also a member of a local historical society, a gardener, and a parent of three young kids. I was a beekeeper (and look to have bees again later). I worked for the Hôtel de Glace as a guide, behind-the-scene guide and night guide. I've a background as amateur oarsman in Strasbourg. Originally from Strasbourg, I lived there for many years and worked as a guide for ToursByLocals. I then spent three years in Trois-Rivières and have been residing near Lévis for several years now. I founded my company, Tours Accolade, in 2017 and am eager to share my passion and knowledge of the area with you. Certified guide of Quebec City (license renewed every year). Quebec City guided tour diploma from Collège Mérici. Member of the local professional guides association AGTQ. Founder Tours Accolade Quebec. Professional partner of The French-Canadian-Genealogist.

Overview of your Quebec City tour

Looking for a unique tailored full-day tour of Québec City and its surroundings? This private experience is fully tailored to your interests and pace. Whether it’s your first time here or not, we’ll make the most of your day — together. You can combine a walking tour of Old Québec with a scenic countryside escape, or we can do something totally different. The tour will reflect your priorities and your style of travel. Traveling with a group of more than 5? Need a larger vehicle or a shorter/longer experience? Feel free to reach out, and I’ll create a custom listing for you. I’ve welcomed groups of up to 23 with advance planning.

Your Quebec City tour itinerary

The itinerary is always personalized to your interests, preferences, and pace. The only real limit is the duration, factoring in weather, traffic, and seasonal conditions. Most clients enjoy a walking tour of Old Québec in the morning, lunch, then a visit to Montmorency Falls, Île d’Orléans, and Côte-de-Beaupré. But we can also explore places like Lévis, the Côte-du-Sud, or even Trois-Rivières via Portneuf. Nothing is set in stone. The day can evolve depending on your mood and energy. You won't be rushed. I handle time management so you can fully enjoy the excursion. I never accept commissions from the places we visit. Every stop is chosen with your enjoyment in mind. Extra costs aren't included in order to keep the tour fully flexible to the last minute.

What's not included
Other: - The products you'll buy. - Tickets, tastings and entrance fees. - Funicular (not mandatory). - Lunch (I can join you if you would like). Why tickets, tastings and entrance fees aren't included ? Because it's a private tour ! Every tour is different : maybe you would like to taste more wine rather than go to the canyon and I don't want you pay for things you're not going to taste or see. Even during the tour you can change your minds and ask to skip one place to go to another.
