Top 10 Private Tours in Quebec City, Canada

May 15, 2022 Timmy Ribble

Quebec City may be the only fortified city north of Mexico, but it welcomes visitors with open arms. Explore the Citadel, where you might catch Canadian troops staging a military ceremony. As for food, you could splurge on afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac, or do as the locals do and snack on poutine—french fries with gravy and cheese curds.

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!

A little bit late to review but better late than never. My wife and I took this historical food tour of Quebec City in February 2020, and we are really glad we did. We were the only people on the tour so received the full attention of our host. I left the tour having learned so much more about the history of Quebec City, something I very much appreciated. We visited five establishments that took in appetizers, main courses ... note the plural! ... and dessert. All the courses were really very good. This is a great experience but certainly not like sitting down to eat a meal. Definitely recommended though.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. There were a lot of video recordings which make you feel as if you are there. The guide was very informative about history and traditions. I have done a few virtual tours, but this is by far the best!

We took a private tour of Montreal with our guide Lola over 4 hours long. We had the opportunity to tour the old part, the banking area, the port and the Olympic stadium area. We were in places not usual for tourists, we learned about the daily life of the people of Montreal, their way of life, virtues and problems of life in Montreal. The private tour is a worthwhile experience, and if Lola is your guide, even better. Thanks to Voyalific for meeting all our expectations.

Rain!! Oh well. The company called us the day before and explained weather. Gave us the option of cancelling or accepting Mother Nature and going for it. We thought this was very proactive and admirable to contact their customers ahead of time. Professional. We decided to go for it. Our guides were Guy and Emily. They explained bikes and adjusted seats to our height. They were both very knowledgeable regarding equipment and our path to the falls. Our safety, seemed to be of utmost concern to them both which was appreciated. We stopped at certain points where Guy would explain points of interest and historical significance. There are a few inclines in which I struggled. ( Haven’t biked since I was 12. Clearly need to strengthen my legs). Thank you Emily! She was right beside me, with encouraging words. So kind. The falls were indeed, impressive. The snack the company provided was quite delicious with a chocolate power bar, cheese, crackers and an extremely unique box of maple water. They also provided us with water. The ride back was mostly down hill and we made our way quickly. Thanks Guy and Emily for a great tour.
