Simply the Best. We spent the whole day with Diane through the historic sites of Old Quebec. Her knowledge about Old Quebec was what made this tour so special. Definitely would recommend Diane for any tours related to Old Quebec.

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. Customised Tours are surely the best ones because we can easily adapt the tour to your specific needs. 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 5 inches 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

Cross the Saint-Lawrence River and see Quebec City perched on top of Cape Diamond
Overview of your Quebec City tour
BEST TOUR TO DO ON A HOT DAY. This 5 -hour tour provides an interesting perspective, because the view of the city on the boat and in Levis is breathtaking. So let yourself be transported back in time. We will walk at a moderate pace in the narrow streets of Historical Lower Town. While hearing about New-France History, you will enjoy short anecdotes and the daily lives of our ancestors. You will have the chance to see some ancestors' houses in Place Royale where Quebec City was founded and how the city has evolved. In the middle of the tour, we'll take the Ferry Boat Round Trip to cross the river and see the magnificent Quebec City perched on top of Cape Diamond. While taking pictures of the city, I will give you more relevant information. You will have a Guided Tour of Old Levis, then we will cross the Saint-Lawrence River. ** As you are paying you will see that the Ferry Boat Round Trip to cross the Saint-Lawrence River will be included in the cost.

Andrew M.United States
Diane was a wonderful guide walking us through the city of old Québec. She answered our questions and never rushed us.
David L.United States
The weather caused us not to go across the river, but Diane took us to nooks and crannies in both the upper and lower town.....that were fabulous. Diane's love of the city shows in every minute of touring. She is a font on energy and information. We highly recommend her as a guide.
Claudia R.United States
Diane is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. She has a good sense of humor that she uses to highlight the history. I would highly recommend walking with her. She recommended a restaurant and we took her advice for our good-bye dinner and it was a lovely relaxing atmosphere and great food. We had a family tragedy the evening before and one of our group got many phone calls during our walk, but Diane was patient and took the distraction in stride. I appreciated her patience.
