Description:

Delve into the history of Quebec City on a guided tour of the UNESCO-designed Old Town's architectural landmarks and iconic sights. Explore the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter and admire the centuries-old ramparts of La Citadelle during your visit of la vieille capitale.

After being picked up from your hotel, make your way into Old Town—also referred to as the Latin Quarter, this is the historic heart of the city and home to some of its most charming buildings and locales. Gaze up at the Notre Dame de Québec Basilica—this parish is the oldest in Canada—and cross the cobbled, church-flanked square of Place Royale. Listen in as your guide shares the events that took place here over the centuries and what life was like for the early citizens of Quebec City.

Walk along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River beneath the towering edifice of the Château Frontenac, and learn about the changing of the guards at La Citadelle—the bearskin hat- and scarlet jacket-bedecked soldiers in front of these star-shaped, fortified ramparts stand on duty for a full 24 hours.
