Explore the snow-covered streets of Old Québec with a certified tour guide!
My winter tour invites you to slow down, savor the crisp air, the feel of snowflakes on your cheek, and discover the city at your own pace, in the spirit of slow tourism.
Whether you’re a history lover, a fan of local delicacies, or simply curious, I offer an authentic perspective on Québec City as it reveals its winter charm.
As it is a private tour, we'll tailor the itinerary depending on your interests and needs.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I can pick you up anywhere in the Old Town or Petit Champlain area. This could be your air bnb, hotel, the restaurant where you had lunch, a museum you just visited etc.
If pickup service is not needed, meet at the Tourny Fountain in front of Parliament
The tour end point will be confirmed with you in advance. Tours starting at Parliament typically end in Place Royale.
