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.

Yes, you can bring a stroller, but ensure it has sturdy wheels, is lightweight, and folds easily.

Québec City's streets are hilly, and stairs are nearly unavoidable. Winter sidewalks can also be snowy or icy, turning your visit into a slalom, so choose a stroller you can manage easily.

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!

For tours with transport: Maximum 7 participants. For larger groups, I can arrange another driver/guide duo to split subgroups. Email me to discuss!

I can pick you up anywhere in Old Québec (Upper and Lower Town), hotel, Airbnb, restaurant, or museum you’re visiting beforehand.
On a cruise in Québec City? I’ll get you at piers 21 or 22. From pier 30, I’ll meet at your shuttle drop-off.

For tours with transport, I partner with my friend Félix-Antoine from Limo Québec.
Vehicles are spacious, comfortable, and modern: sedan, SUV, or minivan based on group size. The driver’s included, letting me focus fully on your visit for a safe experience.
Price covers everything: vehicle rental, driver salary, and 15% tip.

Yes, I continue to offer guided tours outside the winter season, but during spring/summer/fall, I mainly provide my services to local companies and my availability is very limited. You can still contact me here to book a tour, but I cannot guarantee a positive response!
