A Must-Do When Visiting Quebec!! - I would, and plan to, recommend this experience to anyone and everyone traveling through Quebec City. Our tour guide, Denis, was kind, informational and so passionate about his love for Quebec and it truly trickled down to us. It was freezing and snowing but if I could go back I would do it 1,000 times again. The wine was excellent, food was phenomenal, and the lessons learned and insight Denis gave to us regarding history, current political and social standings in Quebec, along with many suggestions around town was a once in a lifetime experience. To anyone traveling to Quebec City... do this tour!! Worth every penny!! Great for the beginning of the trip to get insight to plan for the rest of your stay. Thank you, Denis and the rest of Chelsea’s team. We appreciate the wonderful experience.

Fantastic evening with Marie - The four of us had Marie all to ourselves. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us suggestions for the rest of our trip. The food stops were close to each other, so it did not require a lot of walking. They included off-the-beaten-path highly rated restaurants that we tourists wouldn’t have tried ourselves. Wine served at 4 of the 5 stops with coffee and sweets at the last. Plus a bonus ferry ride for a view of the port and city from the river. We had a great time.

Fantastic gourmet experience - We had a great guide Jean Marc who toured us around lower Quebec City, stopping at five gourmet restaurants for parts of a progressive meal. Not a bad one in the bunch. JM was very knowledgeable but didn’t overdo it on the facts, it was perfect. It was a lovely afternoon and we would definitely use this company again. Highly recommend.

Lowertown Evening Gourmet Tour Progressive Dinner - We were expecting a large group but it was just the four of us. Our tour guide Jocelyne was absolutely excellent. Her knowledge of the city and the restaurants were exceptional. We had a great time, the food was wonderful and we would highly recommend this tour!

Not What We Expected - This tour was a disappointment in that we thought being a food tour it would include stops at uniquely Quebec eateries while learning about local history. While the food was decent at all five locations, it was nothing special or specific to Quebec City or its French/English history. We stopped at an Italian restaurant for caprese salad (hardly revolutionary) a modern, organic veggie salad (which was delicious), charcuterie board, and ice cream/sorbet (which was actually a return trip to a different side of stop #2). The main course was an Iatalian veal dish which was good but we were rushed to make it to the ice cream shop and had little time to enjoy it whilst still wishing for a dish more native to the area. Even though we rushed through the last two courses we missed the ferry ride across the river with what are promised to be the best views of Chateau Frontenac. To take a later ride would have been pointless since it was getting too dark. The historical information gathered was great, but if we wanted just history we couldh ave done any one of a number of walking tours for just that. All in all, not worth the build up or price.
