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.
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.
Xavier was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. He had a deep knowledge of the city, past and present, and presented in a simple and effective way. He offered personal recommendations and made sure we stayed comfortable throughout the tour - his personal post cards and hand warmers were a thoughtful touch. We are so glad we had this experience with Xavier and would recommend him to anyone!
Par Julia (North Carolina) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier's tour was so fun and interesting. He really had a great knowledge of the city and we learned a lot. He also was so friendly, really learning everyone's names and connecting with them. He made great recommendations for places to visit after the tour. He also brought handwarmers and toe-warmers which was a nice touch.
Par Grace (New Jersey) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier communicated well with us leading up to our tour. He arrived at our rendezvous early and began on time. A blustery, rainy and cool day, he checked in on our comfort multiple times. Most of what we were told and shown was totally new to us. We learned so much. Merci, Xavier. Highly recommend your tour.
Par Lisa (Maine) sur Airbnb (2019)I signed up for the tour with Xavier since the popular travel writer, Rick Steves, often recommends to take a tour with a local to fully learn and appreciate a new place. I found this tour with Xavier superior to just walking around with a guidebook or following a guide on my phone. Xavier shared many personal perspectives when answering our questions. He welcomed discussion and this distinguishes the walking tour from a guidebook. Though admittedly geared for adults, my two kids, 16 and 8, joined us on the tour and enjoyed it. Xavier included them in the tour which maintained their interest. We got insight into Quebec history, the unique neighborhoods of the city, how residents celebrate winter and indulge in summer. Xavier provided many recommendations on additional sites to see, which we followed up on after the tour. Good advice on dressing to be comfortable in winter. I noticed many residents and/or visitors work long, insulated coats with fur trim and real boots, not skimpy shoes. They know what works. Highly recommended. Enjoy your tour. Scott
Par Scott (Maine) sur Airbnb (2019)If you have the time take the tour it's worth it.
Par Carlos J (New York) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier was a fantastic guide. Our tour was a great orientation to the city and its history.
Par Liz (Atlanta, Georgia) sur Airbnb (2019)Very interesting tour that brought the city's history alive. Xavier was a very knowledgeable guide and had a quick wit to keep the tour fun and interesting at the same time. Would absolutely recommend.
Par Ethan (Georgia, USA) sur Airbnb (2019)On our tour, we had a small group from varying geographical backgrounds. Xavier had a way of relaying info that intrigued, entertained, & pleased my old history buff husband, a young aeronautical engineer, two business professionals & generally interested me. He is passionate & knowledgeable about many aspects of history. If I were to stay longer, I would book another tour in a different subject. Same guy, same visit, & I bet he would not repeat a thing from the first tour- he's that good (witty, too!). He did his best to make sure that we were comfortable during our tour, including a pre-email with advice & instructions- read it, its helpful.
Par Alissa (Missouri) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier is a top notch history tour guide, who is knowledgable, relatable, and caring. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!
Par Michael (San Francisco, California) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier nous fait participer à la visite et a la bonne humeur communicative. On ne s'ennuie pas et on ne voit pas le temps passer.
