Historical Walking Tour in Old Quebec: From Pioneers to Citizens

The aim is to help travellers grasp today's Québec society through the pivotal events, institutions, and cultural influences that shaped it. From New France and the British Conquest to religion, politics, and the rise of modern Québec, the tour ties the city's past to the province as it stands now. The route is meant to be comfortable and runs mostly downhill, starting in Upper Town and gradually working its way toward Lower Town. Along the way, travellers take in most of Québec City's best-known landmarks while uncovering the stories that link them together. The licensed guide welcomes questions and encourages discussion, so expect thoughtful storytelling, historical context, and a fuller understanding of both Old Québec and the society that grew out of it.
