A bargain - Despite a little rain, this was a very interesting tour. We love food and wine and history and the tour was a nice blend of both. Bernard was entertaining and kept us all interested. I thought it was priced well for what we received. It was right around three hours and some uphill walking. The food was very interesting and the restaurant's very welcoming. Thank you Bernard!

Gentle walk and food samplings - Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide led us through Quebec 17th Century historical points and three mostly upscale restaurants. Great exposure to local restaurants. Pace was accommodating for slower walkers. Guide very mindful of varied fitness levels.

Guide worth the price of Admission! - Our guide was worth the price of admission. She was so knowledgeable, and accommodating to my family. She is by far the best guide we have experienced in a long time.

Surprise learnings - My cousin and I learned a lot about Québec history that we were not aware of and acquired a new appreciation of the French population in North America, that was so much more progressive for Women’s Rights and Immigrants.

One of the Best - This was an excellent walking tour! All of the restaurant stops were amazing and the day included a variety of tastings - from seafood to soup to maple sticks. I highly recommend this tour!

Thought this was a food tour! - I have booked and enjoyed MANY food tastings on Viator. Sadly there was very little tasting and much info presented regarding history of Quebec. It was OVERDONE - by the end of the many hours everyone was looking for the exits. The young children probably should not even been on the tour If advertised differently there would have been a different crowd -one who might have wanted all the information on history etc of Quebec Frankly I would like my money and afternoon back
