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. Customised Walking Tours are surely the best ones because I 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 Christmas Walking Tour in Old Quebec (From November 23rd to January 6th, you will need warm clothes) 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

Overview of your Quebec City tour

This 2-hour Guided Walking Tour provides a joyful and pleasant atmosphere in the heart of Old Quebec, under the Canadian Snow Flakes. You will appreciate all its historical and colonial aspects as the 18 and 19 century houses and the prestigious Château Frontenac. The many temporary boutiques will be enlightened so Old Quebec will be metamorphosed into a enchanting Christmas German Market. Furthermore, my interpretation will help you learn the meaning of all the symbolisms of Christmas, for example the Christmas wreath, lights and so on. So let yourself be immersed back in time. We will relive the Winter and Summer life of our ancestors during the New-France Era, while recounting short anecdotes. I will also walk at a slow pace in the narrow streets of Historical Lower Town so you can appreciate the 1600's architecture. The two first weeks of February, there will be Guided Tours during the Winter Carnival, it will be possible to see the Ice Sculptures as well as the Snow Sculptures.
