We were keen to gain a good appreciation of old Québec city as quickly as possible, so decided to take a walking tour. It was easily arranged for quite a moderate price and our enthusiastic guide proved to be a wealth of information. We thought it great value and picked up far more detail than I recorded (or can remember) in half a day.
Here’s an example of the snippets of interesting information. Walls made of French stone were plastered to help keep out moisture which would split the rock when it froze; neither the local Québec stone, nor English stone (identifiable because it is grey and square cut) needs plaster to keep out moisture. In the British period, ships brought out bricks from London (hence London bricks) which still are superior to any local bricks.
The photos show our tour guide, also a wall of French stone being replastered (appropriately, at the Consulate for the Republic of France). Address: Tourist Information Centre, 12, rue Sainte-Anne, QPhone: (418) 694-2001Directions: Several tours are available, in English and French, book at the Tourist Information Centre near place d’Armes.Website: www.toursvoirquebec.com

 Tour Bus in Quebec by jamiesno
The city tour was approximately $29 CDN and the country side tour would have been around $50.
There was an error in communication between me and the telephone guy because I didn't want a city tour but ended up on it.
I don't recommend the city tour if you are able to walk. Old Quebec is so beautiful that walking is definitely the way to go. They are not long walks either so you can really soak up the atmosphere of the city. When I ended up going on the city tour I simply repeated it all again with a lesser view through a tinted window. I think I might of took 3 or so pictures, that's it.
The country side tour on the other hand was very nice. I could never of seen what I did by walking and I saw some amazing sights. I really recommend the country side tour. The Montmorency Falls though I warn you are very impressive and probably warrant a little more time. I would probably enjoy going back there for a half day to just relax.
So there is my two sense worth on the tours, in my off the beaten path tips you will see some of the highlights of my country side tour. Leave a Comment

 Ghost Tours of Quebec,Quebec
City,Canada. by Greggor58, 2 more photos
I was LUCKY in that I had the experience of having Eva acting as guide....she was simply INCREDIBLE relating the many stories that comprise the tour! She clearly enjoys her work.
The group was small ...only about seven people and the tour took us all of an hour and a half as we walked from venue to venue...all under the cover of darkness and Eva carrying a lantern lit by a single candle,at each stop Eva told us a story that related particular hauntings and spooked happenings!
I wont tell you the whole story because you need to experience this for yourself...the next time you're visiting Quebec City.
The tour cost is about $ 18.00 for adults....$ 15.50 for students and seniors...and children under ten are free...
The tour leaves at 8:00 PM sharp...and involves walking a few kilometers and two sections involve the HILL.......so this might not be appropriate for anybody that might have mobility issues.
The meeting location where the tour is started is in Lower Town conveniently located just across the street from a recently discovered favorite little shop ...a Caban de sucre...a store owned by a man named Mario that sells Maple Sugar products...ahem...sorry...more about this little store later... :O }
All in all this is a fun and entertaining way to spend a part of an evening in Quebec City and i you're lucky enough to have Eva as a guide than thats a BONUS for you!!
HAVE FUN....ENJOY !!!

Horse carriage rides are a very popular activity in the old city, the main reason being that touring around the narrow streets of Vieux Quebec at a leisurely pace certainly has its charms! You should know, however, that these rides are quite expensive: it usually costs $75 for a 45-min tour, and they can only carry up to 4 people. You get to learn a bit about the history of the city as you go along, and it's always nice to know that there are very strict regulations about horses to make sure they're not being overworked :o) Leave a Comment Phone: 418-683-9222Directions: There are always a few carriages waiting for passengers near the St. Louis Gate in the old city.Website: http://calecheduvieuxquebec.com Other Contact: dannydoyle@videotron.ca

The tours run at 8pm and 9pm nightly and cost about $17.50 for an adult. The office has a sign on the door telling where to meet, and this is where you pay, but it is highly recommended that you go a few hours early (at least) and make a reservation. It fills up quick!

Quebec City is the sole remaining fortified city in North America. Covering 4.6 km, the fortifications that encircle Vieux Quebec highly contribute to the city's unique charm and beauty. Built between 1690 and 1745, they are also an important part of the city and country's history. To find out more about Quebec City's defense system and to enjoy great views of the city and the St. Lawrence River, you can go on the guided tour "Quebec, Fortified City" organized by Parks Canada. It is a fun and interesting 90 minute walk along the streets of the Old City. Make sure to wear good shoes as you'll be going up and down some hills and won't always stick to the streets. Tours run every day.
