You walk through the heart of Old Québec on a private tour that blends history, art, and sweeping views. Begin at Place Royale, sensing the echoes of Samuel de Champlain’s first settlement. You gaze at the enormous Québec City Mural, its painted figures telling centuries of stories. Riding the Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec, you feel a soft breeze as you ascend between Lower and Upper Town. In Haute-Ville, the city’s high ramparts open out before you in a panorama of rooftops and steep streets. Finally, inside Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral, candlelight glints across sacred stone, and you feel the weight of generations in the quiet stillness.

Please note: The program and attractions may vary based on booking date/time and crowd conditions, ensuring each visit is a unique experience.
