Additional Information

On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll immerse yourself in the historical heart of Old Quebec and meander through the fortified city while learning about its major landmarks.

You’ll hear tales of Quebec’s founder, Samuel de Champlain, and take in spectacular views from the Dufferin Terrace boardwalk, in the shadow of Château Frontenac. While meandering through parts of the fortified city, you’ll see some of the architectural jewels in its UNESCO World Heritage Site crown.

While sharing my passion for history, Sébastien - a tour guide, and the producer of this tour - will show you the oldest house, the first jail, and the first school for girls in North America.

He’ll help you understand what you see around the old and sometimes cobbled streets. By the end of your stroll through the beautiful town, you’ll have covered 400 years of history and visited the city’s most important sites and some of its lesser-known ones, too.
