Old Quebec Grand Tour in French

The Grand Tour: A guided walking tour of Old Quebec City

The Grand Tour is an English-only walking tour of Old Quebec which leads you from the Upper to the Lower Town at a leisurely pace. Its content is such that people travelling on their own, in small groups or Quebec City dwellers will enjoy The Grand Tour.

Over the course of approximately two hours, it covers the architecture, the marking events and the Quebec people’s history. It meanders next to Quebec historical sites such as Quebec City’s Citadel / Musée Royal 22è Régiment, Chateau Frontenac, Quebec fortifications, Basilica Notre-Dame, Old Port and Place Royale and uncovers a few hidden Quebec sites as well.

By limiting the number of participants to a maximum of fifteen per guide, The Grand Tour allows for human contact and personal exchanges between Quebec guides and participants during the tour. Even children and children at heart will enjoy themselves!

The Grand Tour follows a leisurely downhill path from beginning to end. All that you need is a good pair of shoes. Some even venture in a stroller and manage it safely! Besides, The Grand Tour makes room for numerous stops along the way and comes to an end nearby the Funicular (lift).

The Grand Tour departs from Tours Voir Québec’s sales desk located inside the Quebec Tourist Information Centre (12, rue Sainte-Anne) across the park from highly visible Chateau Frontenac.
