We just returned from an extensive visit to Quebec area which included a Guided Tour of Quebec City (…). .We wanted you to know that of all the Tour Guides we had Mike was the most knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful and that he made our trip very enjoyable. You should be very happy to have a representative like Mike.

Yesterday, we were fortunate enough to take your walking tour of old Quebec as the first activity in our three day stay. Mike O'Farrell was our guide, and he was superb! Not only did he give us a great sense of the history of the city, he also pointed out other activities, places to eat, and things to see. It set the scene for our visit, and was great fun.

Mike's voice, his English language skills, his height (which made him so easy to follow through the streets) and his pleasant personality all contributed to our enjoyment. We will be using Voir Quebec again and asking for Mike.

The Grand Tour my husband I took with your guide, Jacques, last Sunday was excellent. We have taken many walking tours in different cities and this was the best. Thank you very much!

(…), I wanted to drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed the walking tour, Jacques was an excellent guide. Despite the cold we enjoyed our introduction to your beautiful city which was a magical place to spend New Year and which we will I know visit again.
“Having worked for more than 25 years in the field of heritage protection, I enjoy discussing architectural features of Old Quebec while at the same time explaining its history and evolution over the centuries.”
“I love Quebec with a passion. Walk with me and we’ll explore this beautiful city from yesterday and today. I will share some of the best kept secrets…and a few pleasant surprises too!”
Thanks so much for going out of your way to finish our rain interrupted tour last week. This was truly the highlight of our trip. We certainly didn't leave ourselves enough time to take in all Quebec City has to offer. So the tour gave us a great introduction for our next visit. We now know what to look for.
I sincerely thank you for the dedication and commitment demonstrated during your tour, it was very interesting and my colleagues were delighted.

Our day with you, was the highlight of our trip in Québec!
The whole reason that we took the trip was that we wanted to do something that involved Quebec as we wanted to see this land that my husband's ancestors came to so long ago. I appreciated, so much, the preparation that you did for our day with you, and your concern that you would be able to show us what we wanted to see. You are very knowledgeable not to mention very patient! My primary goal was just to see this land, and you gave me more that I had dreamed of by guiding us to and being able to communicate with the people at the genealogy center and in the churches.

“I was born and bred in Quebec City and I have seen it become prettier every year ever since. I am fond of Old Quebec: its narrow streets, its houses breathing history and its people; every little place has its charm and history and I love to share it all with visitors.”
“Leading guided tours of Old Quebec City allows me to enjoy three of my foremost pleasures: the history of my motherland, its litterature which I’ve been teaching for many years and walking which I like to do. I will be delighted to help you discover this exceptional cultural heritage and geographical landmark that is our beautiful city.”
“Join me for a Quebec guided tour and you will spend two pleasant hours filled with the pleasure to discover this magnificent city which breathes history. In the end you won’t want to leave! Your smiling Old Quebec City tour guide awaits you.”
“My ancestors established themselves in the Quebec Region around 1680. Therefore, I have developed a personal knowledge of the regional culture as well as its early beginnings and geography. I have great interest in horticulture present in local parks and gardens”
