If it is winter wear long...

Published on Jan, 2025

If it is winter wear long underwear. We were prepared and we were great full Because the cold will make itself felt.

Give yourself the gift of three hours with Judith.

Published on Nov, 2024

It is easy to describe this tour through Quebec City as amazing. While on your walk Judith weaves a story not only about the city and its discovery and development but expands it to the attendant impact on not only Canada but the United States and beyond. Using the architecture of the city and its natural surroundings Judith will also incorporate what early settlers learned from or didn't learn from the indigenous people about how to survive in an unwelcoming climate. I can't do justice to how much you can learn from Judith; she has a wealth of knowledge about Quebec. But for my wife and I what was as equally rewarding was the opportunity to meet and spend time with such an accomplished woman of the world. Judith has spent her life in service to our world and the people in it. I don't think it is my place to describe her experiences but I can only encourage anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to spend time with this amazing woman. And bring your sense of humor because she is very quick. Tom and Lynn - Northern California

Best Tour of Quebec

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband hates walking tours and he can't stop talking about how great Judith's tour was and how much he enjoyed it. She queried us about our interests and really personalized our experience. We learned about the city and its place in world history. Judith answered all our questions and recommended additional places to visit. As a native Québécoise, she knows every inch of the city and it was fascinating to hear her stories. Don't miss!
