Our company group of 6 worked with Xavier to plan our 5 day trip to Quebec City. For most of us, it was our first time visiting Quebec and Xavier helped make our trip one of the best we have ever taken. He was so helpful during the planning stages with recommendations for everything including activities, scheduling, lodging, and dining. He was always extremely friendly, helpful and responsive to all our questions and requests. He helpd put together a custom itinerary featuring some of the best activities and sights in and around Quebec City. Everything was planned and scheduled perfectly by Xavier, making the whole process and trip extremely smooth and relaxing. We were able to just focus on having fun. Xavier provided a custom walking tour of the Old City as well as guided excursions to Montmorency Falls, dog sledding, and Valcartier. He also provided a private tour of one of the highlights of our trip, the Hotel de Glace (Ice Hotel). It is a must do and having Xavier guide us through made the experience that much more memorable. Xavier was always friendly, professional, and so knowledgeable about the histroy and culture of the area. You could easily tell how much he enjoys being a guide and loves his city. I would without a doubt recommend Xavier for any group to help ensure you take advantage of all the wonderful things Quebec City has to offer.

We had a short time in Quebec City and Xavier was the perfect guide to this beautiful place. His ability to tailor the tour to our interests and past experience made for a hugely enjoyable three hours (3 hours is a minimum to see this properly). His ability to interpret Quebec for us Europeans and give that European/North American comparison was very good. Do this at the start of your stay. Highly recommended.

We did a special 1 hour family tour with Xavier. He catered the tour to my 8 and 11 year olds and did an excellent job. I would recommend him for all groups. Very knowledgeable and very much able to accommodate different groups!

Tommy was a wonderful guide! Be sure to give feedback and he will tailor it to your needs.

3 hours seems daunting, but it was not overly arduous to walk the streets. Highly recommend:)

I am a historical fiction writer. I wanted a private tour focused on Benedict Arnold's activities in 1775. Xavier was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared. His historical understanding is deep-- it goes beyond mere dates and locations-- he helps you feel the evolution of his wonderful city.
Finally, (and importantly) he is very pleasant person.
I highly recommend him!

Thank you Steve for you review. It was a pleasure to provide a private tour tailored for you. We started in Lévis to see sites related to Benedict Arnold, the American attempt to take Quebec City and the aftermath (like the chapel St Anne). Then we took the ferry and checked many spots related to the same theme (original houses from 1775 or earlier). Since 1775 the city evolved a lot : new buildings, landfilling. My goal was you understand how the city used to be, how the topography impacted the strategical choices, what happened then and why. Thanks to your review, I can say the mission is accomplished ! I'll be really happy to read your book when you'll publish it.

The tour begins in front of the Parliament, at the foot of the four women monument, a place I had walked by so many times and never further inquired why they were there.
The guide, Xavier, is knowledgeable, kind, funny, very attentive to the customers' needs and also dynamic.
I absolutely love the theme of this tour, given that the role of women in history is usually unaccounted for.
It is a tour hour tour walking around Vieux Quebec while discovering and learning about the history of such lovely city.
I highly recommend it!!!! And I would definitely love to take another tour from their diverse offer.

Thank you Mili for your review. I'm really happy, as a local, you followed one of our guided tour and appreciated what most locals do not understand : we live in a beautiful and fascinating city and we should explore it like tourists do.

We spent a delightful and informative 3 hours with Xavier. He was a terrific guide who not only explained the history of the city, but also what our ancestors' lives would have been like - where and how they lived (and died - one was garroted!). I highly recommend this tour for anyone with French-Canadian roots (and, actually, my husband and sister-in-law w/o any French genes enjoyed it too).

Thank you for your review! I’m glad you all enjoyed your private ancestry tour. Note to readers: Tours Accolade provides tailored private walking tours of Old Québec to all and also private tours based on French-Canadia ancestry if the clients have it. For the latter we work with a genealogist, it requires preparation.

Incredible tour with Xavier. We did an ancestral roots tour and it was fascinating to learn the history of Quebec and to hear stories of my ancestors who were a part of it. I’ve done a lot of family research but Xavier found tons of people and stories who were new to me. It was really wonderful and I highly recommend!

Our guide Odette met us at our hotel and led us on a walking tour throughout old Quebec City, customizing the tour to our preferences. She started by telling us about the area’s history --including the British and French occupations. We viewed significant and historical buildings, the tourist shopping areas, the only cigar store (by request) and more. Odette is very knowledgeable and shares her insights.

For a comprehensive and meaningful tour, I highly recommend Odette.
