Let me introduce myself, I am a people-oriented and resourceful person, born in the magnificent Quebec City. I studied in a private college and I obtained a Quebec Diploma of College Studies in Tourism. I am a Historical Tour Guide who has many years of experience. Having strong communication skills in English, I really enjoy meeting tourists from all around the world and I am very enthusiastic when I talk about New France History. A good time to visit Quebec City is end of May and June, it's not too hot and not crowded. It is possible to do a Young Family Tour with a maximum of two young children + 2 adults. If you want to see a lot of details in Quebec City or Levis City's architecture here are four Walking Tours : * Place Royale, Ferry Boat, City of Levis Private Walking Tour (Magnificent view of Quebec City on the other side of the Saint-Lawrence River) * The Fortified Quebec Private Walking Tour * The Best of Old Quebec Walking Tour * The Winter Walking Tour of Old Quebec (From November 1st to the end of April, you will need warm clothes) I also offer four Car Tours : This year (2026), I will not do any Car's Tours after October 9th * Orleans' Island /Montmorency Falls * Kabir Kouba Waterfall and the Wendake Natives' Village * The Montmorency Fall and the Sainte-Anne-Basilica * The Highlights of Quebec. * Traditions meet modernism ********** Please note that all my Car Tours are for a maximum of 3 adult passengers, I own a car not a Minivan. ********* If you are over 6 feet tall please book with another guide ********** Compared to other cities in the world, Quebec City is not very old; however, it is the oldest city north of Florida (St. Augustine being the oldest city in North America, founded in 1565) Please note that I will not do two tours on the same day, so you will have a good quality tour. Also, if possible, don't book at the last minute. * Licensed Quebec City Tour Guide since 2004 * Diploma of Collegiate Studies in Tourism * In 2004, I was a nominee for best student in English Class * I have been a nominee for best student in Tourism Class * Province of Quebec Authorised Tourists Driver

Magnificent Countryside Tour : April 1st and October 9th
Overview of your Quebec City tour
Orleans' Island has a quaint country atmosphere. You may admire more than 400 wooden or field stones houses. This island offers some of Quebec's loveliest landscape. Best time for a Car Tour is June to mid-October because nature is at its best. After Canadian Thanksgiving (October 12th, 2026) most tourists sites and restaurants will be closed. There is ten Vineyards, few Craftsmen and Antiques' shops, apple orchards and strawberries fields. The two major activities being agriculture and tourism. You will have the chance to see some horses. We will do many stops along the way. You will learn about our ancestors' life during New France Era. More than 300 families settled on this island during the 1600 or 1700's, some of their children moved elsewhere in Canada and the United States. So if you are looking for your French ancestors, it would be a good place to visit. All my Car tours are for a maximum of 3 passengers, I own a car not a minivan. (This is not a Winter Tour)

Janet B.United States
We had a wonderful tour with Diane. It was everything that we wanted with going to Ste. Anne Basilica, Orleans Island and seeing the beautiful countryside!!! Also, we had an excellent lunch on the island and enjoyed the Quebec City area so much with our excellent tour guide! Thank you, Diane!
David L.United States
Our tour with Diane started on Orleans Island, so that we could avoid the flow of tour buses all head for Montmorency Falls. We had a fascinating day on the island, learning about its history and architecture. Diane even stopped a retired boat pilot to talk with us about his job and his ancestral home in an area dominated by the homes of seaway pilots. The French heritage here is very strong and retains its proud vibrancy - the people are rooted here in a way not most of us are these days. Our tour ended with about an hour at Montmorency Falls, which was no longer filled with bus tourists. A good tour with a knowledgeable guide - you'll especially enjoy it if you have a French/Acadian background yourself.

My wife and I had wonderful informative tour of the waterfall and the island. Diane was a great guide and showed us parts of Orleans Island that larger tours would never approach. It was a great day
Gerald H.
Diane provided a wonderful tour that met our expectations. We were able to see the incredible water falls, including the cable car ride and walk over the suspension bridge over the water fall. Afterwards we toured Ile d'orleans in the St Lawrence River including a great lunch at Resto de la Plage by the river and a vineyard wine stop at Vignoble Isle de Bacchus. Definitely the way to see an area with a resident that can arrange where you would like to go
Annette H.United States
She was very knowledgeable about the island. We enjoyed our time with her.
