Planning a trip to Quebec City? If you want a hassle-free, personalized way to see the highlights without the stress of navigating on your own, a private guided tour like this one might be just what you need. Offered by Quebec Limo Service, this 4-hour experience packs in some of the best sights and local stories, all in a cozy, fully customizable setting.
What we really love about this tour is the bilingual guide—whether you prefer English or French, you’ll get clear, friendly explanations that bring Quebec’s history and culture to life. Plus, the deluxe Chrysler Pacifica minivan ensures you’re traveling comfortably, with room for up to six people, making it ideal for families, friends, or small groups.
That said, one thing to keep in mind is that the admission to Montmorency Falls isn’t included in the price, so if that’s a must-see for you, you’ll want to budget separately. This tour is great for those who want a personalized, flexible experience that covers a lot of ground in just a few hours. It’s especially suitable if you’re looking for a relaxed, informative introduction to Quebec City and its surroundings.
Etienne was a great guide. Full of information and happy personality. Answered our many questions and took us to interesting places.
Audrey gave us a wonderful tour of Quebec City as well as areas outside of town. The minivan was spotless and she was very flexible and customized our four hours around what we had already seen and what we wanted to see. She made drop off and pick ups very easy when we got out to see Montgomery Falls. She gave us excellent historical information about Quebec City and even walked with us through a local market since most vendors only spoke French. We had a wonderful tour with Audrey and I would highly recommend this activity. It would be good to do at the beginning of the trip for the good overview so you would know areas you would like to visit again more thoroughly on the following days.Rea…

Our guide Etienne was very efficient and punctual. He accommodated our needs comfortably provided good suggestions to see places. Would definitely recommend using his services.
We loved our day with Audrey. We learned, saw and experienced so many amazing things throughout Quebec City. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome as she showed us her beautiful city and countryside. We could not have done as much if we had tried to do it all ourselves. This was a great tour and we highly recommend it!
Audrey put a wonderful trip together for us from our brief outline. She was knowledgeable and fun.
