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.
Very informative guide and he was able to discuss a variety of historical topics. He was able to provide good recommendatioms of places to go eat and things to see which were related to our interests. He was also quite personable which is always a good quality for a tour guide!
Par Emily (Toronto) sur Airbnb (2019)Definitely recommend this tour
Par Manru (California) sur Airbnb (2019)This is an excellent walking tour. Xavier brings the history to life and engages the group. He brings humour and personal connections to the information he shares as well. My 16 year old and I rely enjoyed it.
Par Miriam (Mississauga, Ontario) sur Airbnb (2019)"Our tour was a little over two hours, almost entirely outside, although the host had clearly planned out stops in places that were out of the wind or in the sunshine to help keep people comfortable. Nonetheless, snow removal in the old city is logistically difficult and so there is occasionally deep snow, slush, puddles or ice to contend with while walking. Xavier made an effort to learn the names of all 15 people in the group, which is not usually expected of a tour guide, and he made an effort to highlight things along the tour that might be of particular interest to individual members of the group. He displayed a good sense of humour, but not to the point of being distracting; he focussed on the history and culture of Quebec. Most people in the group were just starting out their visit to Quebec, and this was a great way to get oriented and learn a little bit about the surroundings."
Par Chris (Minnesota) sur Airbnb (2019)This is a really fantastic tour of Quebec City! Xavier is a lovely and charismatic man who really seems to enjoy showing the city to people. He communicates ahead of time with each person going on the tour, to recommend the best types of clothes to wear and gives some tips for Quebec in the winter, to make sure everyone enjoys their time as much as possible. The meeting place is easy to find and convenient, and although the tour is longer than other similar tours, the walking really flies by, even in the cold. It is absolutely worth going!
Par Danielle (New Hampshire) sur Airbnb (2019)It was such a fun tour! We laughed a lot and found it so interesting.
Par Kassie (Illinois) sur Airbnb (2019)This is a great tour to get to know the history behind Old Quebec. Xavier is very charismatic and knowledgeable. He takes you to popular sites, but also to places you would never have known about if it hadn’t been for this tour. It was a great learning experience and a fun way to spend a couple of hours. Thanks Xavier!
Par Vanessa (Ottawa) sur Airbnb (2019)The guide is really knowledgable and kind. I would highly recommend others to take this tour as a must-do activity! This would make your trip to Quebec much plentiful and memorable.
Par Hyun (Boston) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier was intelligent, insightful, and genuinely passionate about the history of Quebec City and Quebec as a whole. As a traveler who doesn’t know much French, I had no difficulty understanding Xavier and he had no difficulty understanding me. The tour was a wonderful way to start my trip and I plan to come back and do a summer tour if he offers one!
Par Daniel (Florida) sur Airbnb (2019)Xavier is a fantastic guide. The story and history he shared with us is unique but very relatable especially if you are from other Quebec cities or live in Quebec. Wasn’t expecting such a great time with him! I wouldn’t know so much about this little town without him! C’est très bien! Bonne expérience!
