Private Guided Walking Tour of Old Quebec with Funicular

5.0 (273 reviews) · By HQ SERVICES TOURISTIQUES

Discover the charm of Québec City on a private walking tour that’s tailored just for you. Instead of a big group, you’ll have a dedicated guide leading the way through Old Québec, sharing stories and insights that bring the city’s history to life. From ancient buildings to narrow, picturesque streets, every corner has a story waiting to be uncovered.

This tour is flexible—your guide will adjust the pace, focus on your interests, whether it’s taking more photos, exploring deeper into history, or getting local tips. If the funicular isn’t running, no worries. We can arrange a cab to take you up the hill or provide a ticket for later use, so you can choose how you want to experience it.

Enjoy a personalized experience that makes the most of your time in Québec City. It’s perfect for small groups, families, or anyone wanting a more intimate look at this historic destination.
