Marie B was amazing! Knowledgeable and accommodating. We went to Île d'Orléans instead of Montmorency Falls which was a much better choice for us. And, of course she drove us through Old Quebec. Great Day! Thank you, Maria B.

Bonjour! Welcome to Quebec! I was born and raised in a small town just outside the city. From generations of French settlers, my oldest one arrived here in 1664 as a fur trader. During my teenage years, I studied in Albany, New York in an ESL program for two years where I became fluent in English. I have a degree in Education from the Laval University in Quebec City and have been living here since then. I know the city's secrets, love every minute of all its seasons and can't wait to tell you all about it! I have worked in the tourism industry all my life and, I know, if you are looking to book a private tour, you are a curious and interested traveller and I love it! I am a friendly and enthusiastic person and all I want is for you to have the best city tour you ever had. I will customize it to your needs and interests, making sure when we walk around the old city, that you have the impression of being here with those French settlers more than 400 years ago. For me, a city tour is part history and part contemporary. At your pace and preference, we will walk to the monuments and historical sites, we will see and/or walk on the fortifications, experience the Wow of the Château Frontenac, see the murals, the churches, the canons, the architecture and more! We will also talk about the city today, its economy, the way we live, what we like to eat and do for fun, our schools and institutions, and anything else you might have questions about. At the end of our tour, you will be comfortable walking in the old town and you will know what is going on in the city as far as shows, festivals, exhibits etc. . . and the best spots for a drink, for jazz or simply for coffee. You will also have in hand my exclusive preferred restaurant list, mapped out with pricing, comments and phone numbers. Welcome to Québec! It will be my pleasure to share with you my affection and pride for this fabulous city! - In the Travel and Tourism Industry for some 25 years - B.A. in Education - Certified Quebec City tour guide ( Merici College ) - Member of the Quebec City Tour Guide Association - Member of the Quebec City Historical Society - Member of Quebec City Genealogy Society My car, a Lexus UX Hybrid, can accommodate up to 4 passengers.

Nature and city highlights of Quebec
Overview of your Quebec City tour
The Montmorency Falls attract 1 million visitors every year. A full 30 m ( 98' ) taller than the Niagara Falls, this is a destination you do not want to miss. Between wonder and adventure, we will admire the falls from a unique vantage point where the view is breathtaking. We will cross the suspended bridge to the belvedere and feel the power of the river as it thunders past. Back to the city, we will drive through Parliament Hill, located just outside the fortifications and home to the famous Plaines of Abraham. We will complete this tour with a stroll in the UNESCO world heritage Old Québec. Feel the European charm of this jewel and birthplace of French America. We will discover its rich history and awe-inspiring collection of architectural treasures unlike anything outside Europe. A perfect tour!

We had a wonderful tour of Montmorency Falls and Quebec City with Marie. Her heritage, knowledge of the area and history, and pride of the region shown through for the whole tour. She is adept at negotiating the city to optimize your time at the important sites. Merci, Marie!
Craig Y.Australia
Great day was good to pack so much information into our tour. Would not have learnt as much or seen as much in the short time we had in Quebec without Marie. Marie was extremely knowledgeable and informative.
Firmin H.United States
Marie is the ultimate in knowledge and being able to connect with those touring. Marie has lived in the area for many years and her friendliness and helpfulness was above and beyond. Our whole family of four enjoyed every aspect of Maires presentation and information she provided. Our trip to Orleans was most memorable, since several of us had been to Quebec City previously. If you or anyone you know is planning to be in or near Quebec we would strongly recommend that Marie be your guide. She is friendly, helpful and could answer any question and above all knew the area and all of its characteristics. Thanks Marie for a fabulous tour.
