I deeply believe traveling is a unique experience that has to go beyond stereotypes and tourist traps in order to be authentic and fulfilling. For me, truly discovering a new destination requires a real immersion into its heritage as much as into its revitalization. What do I like to share with you during my tours? Quebec City's rich history as well as its vibrant and dynamic rebirth as a cultural and gastronomic destination. You will finish my tours with a true perspective of its local life. You will also come back home with a better comprehension of our city’s important role in North America's development through all the key events taking place here since its founding. Some of them might surprise you! Moreover, I think it's really important to have a positive impact, as much as possible, on the local communities when traveling. That's why I support local businesses every time I have the chance myself. During my tours, I will definitely point out to you the best places to go to, not only to support our local industry, but also to enjoy the best service and products. As a passionate local about my city, and after more than 25 years living downtown, I am still amazed by its beauty, its heritage, its nature and its food (even after close to 20 years guiding too!) Whether you are looking to learn more about the military or cultural history, the architecture, the culinary industry, or anything else, I can tailor all my tours in order to focus more on your specific interests. As a foodie myself, I can also give you many suggestions about the best restaurants and pubs in town, before or during the tour. Don't hesitate to ask me! By the way, if you don't know how to pronounce my name, don't worry about it, you are not the only ones! My parents wanted to spell it unusually, even for us. So, I luckily got the chance to talk about it everyday! (The D is silent). ;) As well, you will notice during my tour that I don't have hair due to alopecia. At 37 years old, I lost all my hair because of this auto-immune disease. Besides this inconvenience, I am very healthy, just hairless. I'll be happy to talk about it if you have any questions. If ever you see me with hair, it’s a wig! See you soon! In 2011, I completed Tourism studies at the Champlain College and Cegep Limoilou institutions I am a Quebec City licensed tour guide and working as a full time freelancer since 2014 I am on the board of directors of the AGTQ (Quebec Tour Guide Association) I organize the Pentathlon des Neiges event in February. The 2027 edition is my 7th year in the team.

You've been to Old Quebec several times and you would like to discover other parts of the city? It's your first time here but you're always looking to skip touristy areas when you travel somewhere? You like guided tours because you can explore further without having to worry about the way back to you hotel? During this tour, you will explore areas on the other side of the fortifications; the more local and authentic ones. You will discover places and neighbourhoods you might have missed without a guided tour or during your first visit of Quebec City. In addition, we will visit together the Plains of Abraham park very famous for the battle of the conquest in 1759 but also for its views of the St-Lawrence river, its walking trails and lush gardens. All these areas are accessible by foot from the historic town. This is where I have been living for the past 15 years! Some of the best restaurants and festivals can be found in these areas as well.
Djany was an amazing guide for our family! She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her off the beaten path tour to see other parts of the city outside of the traditional tour we took with our cruise ship. Communication was excellent as our ship was running 30 minutes late and at a different pier than expected but she gave very clear directions on how to connect with her. Highly recommend Djany for a tour of this city!
Djany was wonderful! My wife and I were on the last day of a six-day organized tour and had been walking so much before our tour with Djany we were concerned we were too exhausted for another half-day walking tour, but she was great about pacing our walk and still covered so much in Quebec City. Her knowledge of the city and ability to tailor our tour to cover areas we either had not seen before or that were passed over too quickly in our other groups was a huge help in our appreciating this fascinating city! We cannot recommend Djany highly enough to other travelers!
Fabulous! Easy, friendly, informative. Great pace, flexible and just a lively relaxed day. Highly recommend.
Was so nice to see another side of Quebec. Djany was friendly and informative. We were a party of 6 with different interests and we all enjoyed it!!
Our tour and tour guide, Djany was awesome. She was very knowledgeable, easy to listen to and flexible to our needs. I strongly suggest Djany as a tour guide,
Djany’s tour was far and away one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Her breath of knowledge is extensive and exceeded only by her warm and engaging personality! We saw areas of Quebec that we never would have explored on our own and all in all, it was a perfect afternoon!!!
This 4, 8 km (3 mile) walking tour is meant to be adapted to your interests and pace. I can be very flexible on the itinerary. Along the way, here are the most beautiful areas off the beaten path I would like to show you: -The Parliament Hill area and the Tourny Fountain, our meeting location -The Plains of Abraham Park, the Joan of Arc garden, the Martello towers -Montcalm neighbourhood, the Art District, where the French and English bourgeoisies settled during the 19th and 20th century -Walk on Cartier Avenue, full of local shops, cafes and restaurants -St-Jean street (outside the fortifications) and St-Jean-Baptiste neighbourhood: many food and pub recommendations given along the way (we may stop somewhere for a little treat!) -End of tour in d'Youville Place, next to St. John's Gate

This is a walking tour of about 4.8 km (3 miles), including a few hills. You must be able to walk and/or stand for the duration of the tour. The itinerary will vary according to your walking capacity and the pace desired. Although Quebec City is very hilly, most of the tour is a moderate exercise as we are going to go at a slow pace. Many stops along the way will allow you to sit and rest for a moment.
