An elevated private experience — vibrant, refined, unforgettable ⸻ A True French-Canadian Experience Bonjour, My name is Claudine — and yes, if you are looking for that authentic French-Canadian accent, you just found the right guide. I was born and raised in Montréal, in a French-Canadian family, and I bring not only professional expertise, but a true local identity to every experience. This is not something learned — it is something lived. ⸻ Where Passion Meets Expertise I am a certified tour guide in both Montréal and Québec City, with formal training from Collège Mérici, the ITHQ — Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec and the University of Montréal. Since 2014, My career also includes working as a Tour Leader-Manager across Canada and the United States, often combining guiding with professional driving — ensuring a seamless, well-orchestrated experience at every level. What defines my work is simple: a genuine love for people, for history, and for creating meaningful moments. ⸻ A Dynamic, Fully Personalized Experience From the moment we begin, your day is designed around you — your interests, your pace, your expectations. Some guests are passionate about history. Others are curious about food, culture, or hidden places. Most want a perfect balance of everything. I adapt continuously throughout the day, allowing the experience to evolve naturally — with the right stops, at the right time, always in the right rhythm. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels generic. Everything feels just right. ⸻ Travel in Comfort and Style Your experience takes place in my luxury SUV: Hyundai Palisade Ultimate Calligraphy — fully equipped for private touring. • Dual panoramic sunroofs • Excellent visibility from all seats • Integrated microphone system for clear guiding • Quiet, smooth, and refined ride Ideal comfort: 2 to 4 guests Maximum capacity: 7 passengers (rear seating is more compact) For airport transfers or travel between Montréal and Québec City, luggage is comfortably accommodated for up to 3 guests. For larger groups, additional luggage, or special needs (including wheelchair accessibility), a larger vehicle can be arranged to ensure the same level of comfort and quality. ⸻ Experience the City — With Energy and Depth In Montréal and especially in Québec City — the birthplace of Canadian history — every place has meaning. I bring these places to life through engaging storytelling, local insight, and a natural, lively approach that makes history easy to understand and enjoyable. You don’t just visit — you connect. ⸻ Signature Experiences Each tour is tailored, with a wide range of refined experiences available: • Food, wine and craft beer tours • Fine dining in 5-star restaurants (lunch or dinner with private return service) • Montréal Underground City and Metro (perfect for extreme weather days) • Religious heritage tours (Saint Joseph’s Oratory, basilicas, cathedrals) • Scenic drives, local markets, and hidden gems Every detail is curated to elevate your day. ⸻ Exclusive Day Trips Extend your journey beyond the city with private excursions: • Ottawa — Canada’s capital (2 hours from Montreal) • Thousand Islands — spectacular landscapes • Eastern Townships and Lanaudière (summer season) • Canyon Sainte-Anne (45 minutes from Québec City) • Baie-Saint-Paul (1h30 from Quebec City) • Casino de Charlevoix (2h30 from Quebec City) • Tadoussac — whale watching (3h30 from Quebec City) Long days — but truly unforgettable. ⸻ A Professional You Can Trust Your experience is supported by full licensing and professional credentials: • Licensed Tour Guide — Montréal and Québec City • Member of AGTQ, APGT and CGAQ • Licensed Tour Leader-Manager (Québec Province) • Licensed motorcoach and carriage driver • Film industry driver (AQTIS 514 IATSE) Fully insured with commercial permits and official limousine/taxi status (SAAQ), ensuring safety, legality, and peace of mind at all times. ⸻ A Higher Standard of Private Touring What makes the difference is not only what you see — but how you feel throughout the day. Relaxed. Engaged. Perfectly taken care of. This is where experience, intuition, and attention to detail come together — to create something truly exceptional. ⸻ Let’s Create Your Experience Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to discover more, I will design a day that reflects exactly what you are looking for — and elevate it beyond expectations. Dynamic. Personal. Refined. I look forward to welcoming you.
