This 2.5-hour tour focuses on the modern history of Quebec City, from the British era through Confederation, all the way to the Quiet Revolution and beyond. Rather than the colonial past of New France, we’ll explore how political, social, and cultural forces shaped the Quebec of today. You’ll learn about British influence in architecture, institutions, and everyday life, and how the French-speaking majority gradually redefined its place in Canadian society. The tour highlights key events and ideas from the 19th and 20th centuries, such as the birth of Canadian federalism, the rise of Quebec nationalism, and the Quiet Revolution that transformed the province in the 1960s. We’ll visit symbolic places like the Parliament, the Citadel, religious landmarks, and quiet corners where big changes began. Perfect for those who want to understand modern Quebec in its North American context.
The itinerary may vary slightly depending on the starting point, and are not necessarily listed in the order they’ll be visited: * National Assembly – Quebec’s provincial parliament building * Monument Wolfe-Montcalm – the city’s first monument, rich in symbolism * Quebec City Fortifications – the only walled city north of Mexico * The Citadel – a 19th-century fortress still used by the military * Château Frontenac – the city’s iconic hotel * Plains of Abraham – a key battlefield from 1759 and now a major urban park * Terrasse Dufferin – a scenic boardwalk overlooking the St. Lawrence River * Morrin Centre – former prison, college, and cultural hub * Holy Trinity & Notre-Dame – the first Anglican and Catholic cathedrals * Parc Montmorency – birthplace of Canadian democracy

This is a walking tour only, our feet will provide all the transportation needed (and they're very good at this!). Quebec City can be hilly but we'll take it at a leisurely pace and adapt to everyone. We'll also go mostly downhill.
Rue des Carrières, Québec, Québec, Canada
I really like to start my tours at the Champlain Monument (on Dufferin Terrace), the heart of Old Quebec, for the history of the city to unfold along the tour. But it it's important for you, I can pick you up anywhere inside the walls of Old Quebec or in the historic Lower town area. Please dress comfortably (good walking shoes) and appropriately for the weather.
