Cette visite guidée hivernale est parfaite pour découvrir le Vieux-Québec, son histoire et ses charmes en plein hiver. Profitez de la ville nordique la plus pittoresque d’Amérique du Nord grâce à des pauses au chaud pendant la visite guidée.

Ce tour est disponible à la réservation sur d’autres plateformes, contactez-nous il nous fera plaisir de vous indiquer comment réserver.
Vous allez découvrir des lieux chargés d’une histoire fascinante dans un cadre féerique. Vous verrez certains des principaux attraits du cœur historique de la Ville de Québec. Comme les célèbres Place royale, Château Frontenac, Hôtel de Ville et les cathédrales (catholique et anglicane). Puisque c’est une visite saisonnière, proposée l’hiver seulement, nous nous focaliserons sur l’influence de la saison froide sur les évènements historiques, la culture locale et l’architecture.
La visite hivernale du Vieux-Québec a lieu à l’extérieur, dans les rues pittoresques du Vieux-Port et du Petit Champlain (Basse-Ville) et du Vieux-Québec (Haute-Ville), mais nous ferons des arrêts pour se réchauffer.
Pour vous donner un aperçu, voici quelques sujets hivernaux abordés : Bonhomme Carnaval et le plus grand carnaval hivernal du monde, l’impact du pont de glace sur l’économie, le canot à glace, le siège de 1775 avec Benedict Arnold…
Important:
- Le Musée de la civilisation ne vend aucun billet pour la visite guidée hivernale, ce n’est que le lieu de départ du tour.
- Veuillez vous habiller chaudement. Même si nous ferons des pauses au chaud, nous passerons la majeure partie du temps dehors. L’hiver ici est très froid et venteux.
Comment y aller ?
Le Musée de la Civilisation a deux entrées: une sur la rue Dalhousie et l’autre sur la rue Saint-Pierre. Le lieu de rencontre se situe à l’intérieur du musée, à côté de La Boutique du musée, donc côté rue Saint-Pierre.

What a great experience! Such a great way to better experience and understand the place I was visiting. Xavier was wonderfully attentive to the needs of all the participants, even reading their body language. He was great at remembering everyone's names and pointed out things on the tour that specific people might relate to. He was even watching out for cars and that we stood so as to hear him and still let people pass by on the sidewalk. And his thorough and complete knowledge of Quebec, its history, people and culture did not disappoint. I will always take this kind of tour now when I visit a new city and hope all my future guides will be as good as Xavier.
Par Angela (New York0 sur Airbnb (2019) -
Xavier was wonderful, knowledgeable, and really cared about every individual on the tour. He has a deep understanding about the culture of Quebec and what makes it special and unique throughout its history. He also had great answers for curveball questions. During our winter tour he picked perfect times to seek shelter for warmth while also showing historic places at the same time. He even brought warming packs for people who got chilly. still, it is definitely recommended to bundle up for your tour, wear hats gloves and thick socks with boots for sure.
Par Ryan (Maine) sur Airbnb (2019) Xavier had a genuine passion for Quebec City that came through in his tour. He shared his deep knowledge of the area mixed in with his personal connection to it. He creatively added unique touches that applied to individual members of the tour, such as pointing out the teacher monument for the teachers among us. He thoughtfully gave us hand/foot warmers and made sure we were warm enough throughout the tour. I appreciated his approachable, laid back yet professional manner. I highly recommend his tour for a deep understanding of this beautiful city.
Par Karissa (Maine) sur Airbnb (2019)I've taken a lot of walking tours in different cities and Xavier's tour is one I will remember. First, Xavier gave us historical background delivered in a way that was interesting and easy to digest (he doesn't just rattle off facts that you could get from a book). More like a sociologist/historian than a guide, he wove the history into the culture of the Quebecois. Finally, he has an amazing ability to remember the names and backgrounds of everyone on the tour, is incredibly present and personally connects with everyone....and he is fun! I will definitely take one of his tours on my next visit to QC.
Par Diane (Connecticut) sur Airbnb (2019)We loved our tour with Xavier. He is knowledgable of the topic and is good at connecting with people. He remembered names of everyone in the group (this might be his superpower) 🙂
Par Liana (Toronto) sur Airbnb (2019)I recommend this tour as the first thing to do in Quebec. Xavier is very entertaining guide with deep history knowledge. He also has personal connection with Quebec culture. During the tour Xavier will recommend places to explore and dine-in, be ready to take notes. Prep a list of places to ask if you should attend them.
Par Nick (Seattle) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier es una persona muy simpática, fue bastante claro en todas sus explicaciones y muy paciente para explicar ciertos términos que no lográbamos entender en inglés. Conoce muy bien la ciudad, por lo que nos enseñó calles, atajos, entradas etc, que por nuestra cuenta no hubiéramos conocido. Gracias por todo Xavier!
Par Kary (Mexico City) sur Airbnb (2019)A wonderful historic tour. Xavier is consummate in his instructions and plans which I very much appreciated because we were walking on one of the coldest days. It is a wonderful way to learn about QC.
Par Stacy (Texas) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier made sure to be very thorough about the weather conditions for the tour. Making sure that you are well prepared to be able to enjoy this personable and very informative tour. The tour itself was amazing and just magical. Places that you can’t find your own and history that changes the way you see the city!! Can’t wait to come back and do a tour in the summer or spring with Xavier!!!
Par Wendy (Ohio) sur Airbnb (2019)Such a great experience! We took this tour on our first day in QC and that was as a good decision. Xavier took us to some wonderful spots and was genuinely concerned with our comfort and took the time to tell us so much. He provided great contact before the tour about the weather-it was a beautiful, cold day. Now we know enough to come back to some of the places that interest us the most to spend more time. He is truly passionate about his city and his tour was awesome. You simply have to spend a couple of hours with him!!
