We learned so much about the history of Quebec. The City, the Province, the formation of Canada and their connections with the American revolution.
We learned about Champlain’s founding of Quebec City in 1608, and the strategic reasons for his choice of its location. We learned about the numerous attempts by the English to capture Quebec, which succeeded only after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, and the subsequent, final unification of Canada.
All of this history we learned at various locations in the “Old City” after short walks along cobblestone streets, among centuries old buildings of various ages and diverse local materials. We highly recommend this tour for early in your visit, to improve your subsequent experiences in Quebec City and Province.
