We really enjoyed the tour and saw areas we wouldn't have found on our own as we were only in the city for a short time . Diane is very proud to be a guide in her beautiful Quebec City and made us laugh when talking about the English ! We are from England and she was pleased to welcome us even though we'd invaded and beaten the French in years gone by when they thought they were safe from any invasion 😀. A great tour we recommend.”
