I my tours, I like to focus on:
When giving a tour, I challenge myself to give an as comprehensive and as coherent as possible presentation of today’s Québec city based on its history and on the people who have made it the beautiful city that it is. As far as possible, I try to make links with our visitor’s own perspective.
