As Quebecers say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. During my tour, we’ll spend several hours outdoors and sometimes a few minutes standing still. Some spots can be windy, so proper clothing is essential to fully enjoy it!

• Head and feet well covered:
  Tuque covering ears + neck gaiter + waterproof mittens (warmer than gloves).
  Insulated and waterproof boots with thick, grippy soles, wool socks (no cotton!).

• Upper body: 3 essential layers:
  Base: Thermal base layer (synthetic/merino wool) to stay dry.
  Mid: Fleece/sweater for insulation to retain heat.
  Outer: Windproof/waterproof winter coat with hood, ideally long to cover hips.

• Lower body: two layers:
  Thermal base layer (synthetic/merino wool) to stay dry.
  Regular pants over top if warmer than -10°C (avoid jeans).
  Snow pants over top if colder than -10°C or windy.

No desire to shop for all this? Rent your winter gear for your stay from my friend Émilie at Tuque et Bicycle Expérience.

While my tours primarily target accompanying adults, I’m always delighted to welcome children or teens.
With two daughters aged 5 and 8, and plenty of experience working with kids, I know how to keep them entertained so everyone enjoys a great family time. That said, if your teen has zero interest in walking in the cold or history, it might be wiser to let them binge Netflix at the hotel.

While possible, I strongly recommend a baby carrier or sling instead, depending on your baby’s weight. Québec’s streets are hilly, stairs are common, and winter sidewalks can be snowy or icy — turning your visit into a slalom!
If you still choose a stroller, ensure it’s foldable, lightweight, and has sturdy wheels.

With pleasure — I love pups! Note that some indoor spots can’t be visited with dogs (except service dogs), so we’ll adjust the itinerary. Your dog must be leashed throughout.
Cold can be tough on small dogs, who don’t warm up like humans. It’s your responsibility to ensure your pup stays comfortable.

I’m happy to do a tour for one or two people. The price remains the same regardless of group size.

For walking tours: Maximum 15 participants to ensure everyone enjoys it! For larger groups, I can call in a colleague to split into subgroups. Email me to discuss!
