Close your eyes, smell at the air, listen to the ambient noise and touch old stones and statues. Visit Old Quebec as you never thought! This unique tour is for blind and visually impaired people but is open to everyone.
Sorry, there’s no tour scheduled yet.
We can probably provide it as a private tour, contact us for more information.
When we visit a city, we mostly rely on visual perception to interpret, understand and enjoy the place. Why not using hearing, olfactive and haptic perceptions ? This walking tour is open to everyone, but primarly made for blind and visually impaired people.
We’ll use environment of Old Quebec to explain local history, architecture, urbanism and topography.
Unique characteristics of this guided tour
The size of the group will be smaller than usual. Ticket is free for companions (one companion per blind or visually impaired person). A companion ensure the safety of the accompanied person and actively contribute to the visit by describing what the accompanied person touches. Guide dogs are welcome. This tour is also available as private tour. Because touching monuments is exhausting, we’ll do several breaks during the tour.
Low demand, low availability
There’s a very little demand for this Classic Tour. Contact us as soon as possible to see if we can add an availability for you.
This tour was made possible thanks to the Regroupement des Personnes Handicapées Visuelles Régions 03-12 invaluable help. We are happy to contribute to the accessibility of history and heritage to blind and visually impaired people.
How to get there ?
Stay in front of the church Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, which stands on Place royale.

Nous avons fait la visite toucher et ressentir. Quelle expérience intéressante et enrichissante! Le rythme de la visite était bien adaptée et Xavier était très attentif à nos besoins. Merci!
