Overview

This tour will show you the most important parts of the Historic District of Old Quebec, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1985. Starting with the first nations, we'll go through the history of the city with the arrival of the first French settlers, the creation of the Royal colony of New France, the emergence of Quebec City as capital of British North America, the creation of the Dominion of Canada, leading to the contemporary era. Almost 500 years of history! I can do rigorous in-dept guided tours, but I can also do light and amusing ones with many fun facts and anecdotes! My philosophy is to listen to my clients needs, and tailor-made a visit that will measure up to their expectations and hopefully beyond.

Meeting points

Right in the centre, in front of the visitors centre.

End point

Open in Google Maps

In front of the Felix-Leclerc Park.

Quebec politics and religion

Published on Jan, 2025

The Vast amount of knowledge and facts that we leaned was amazing. Tommy Byrne was excellent. His approach and passion were a plus and is knowledgeable was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Wonderful Tour/Best Tour Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing walking tour with Mr. Byrnes. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every part of the tour. We learned so much about Quebec’s history and culture. We’re really thankful he was our tour guide. I would rate him 5 stars. If you’re looking for an excellent tour guide, look no further. He is amazing and you’ll end the tour feeling that you gained so much knowledge. Highly recommend.

History on the Go

Published on May, 2024

Anglican Church, Citadel, snippets of history from Champlain, through 7 Years War and US War of Independence to WW II and today's Quebec.

The Best Historical Tour I’ve Ever Experienced

Published on Apr, 2024

Tommy Byrne is a historian by trade and possesses encyclopedic knowledge about the sites, cultural evolution and overall history of the region. He is affable, thoughtful, deeply knowledgeable, and passionate, so there was never a dull moment on the tour: which touched on topics ranging from local cuisine to contemporary political structure. His intimate familiarity with the sites we visited enhanced his historical acumen with colorful commentary influenced by his personal experience and family legacy. Even the damp and dank weather didn’t undermine the experience.

Small and personal Informative walking tour of Quebec tailored to suit our family.

Published on Jan, 2024

Tommy was a great tour guide - his knowledge and experiences of Quebec are impressive and he was able to share with us in a very interesting and informative way. Tommy was also very accommodating and easy to communicate with as we had to change our tour time/date due to airline issues which we really appreciated.
