Here, Our Tour Routes Make History!

Tour routes are one of the best ways to get to know a city and its history. And Québec City has plenty of history to share! Discover its storied past as you explore the walls surrounding the Old Town, Parliament Hill, and the grand estates, and follow in the footsteps of Québec's first inhabitants. Prefer to wander at your own pace? The painted sidewalk markings of the VivaCité walking tour will lead you from Place-Royale to the Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Nouvo Saint-Roch districts. Or for a fascinating self-guided tour, download a podcast for the Beauport, Charlesbourg, or Sainte-Foy–Sillery tour routes. Outside of town, the regions of Côte-de-Beaupré, Île d'Orléans, Portneuf, and Jacques-Cartier offer routes showcasing everything from religious heritage and history to agritourism and the great outdoors. In addition, you can check out the spectacular itineraries inspired by the mighty St. Lawrence River or even explore the region through the eyes of some of its best-known personalities. You'll be happy to meet them!
