Quebec City Hidden History Walking Tour

Québec City is the birthplace of French culture in North America and remains the proud capital and bastion of "l’accent d’Amérique". Yet beneath its streets lies a history far more complex than the familiar textbook narrative. From the Religious Wars of Europe, World Wars, the American Revolution, War of 1812 and the Canadian Patriot Rebellion, world events and personalities helped shape Québec. Many stories remain seldom taught or discussed. Your guide will peel away these layers of hidden history, revealing the people, conflicts, migrations and ideas that shaped the Québec we know today. A researcher and local historian with more than a decade of experience, he uses genealogy as a tool to connect individual lives with broader historical events. Designed for academically curious travellers, this immersive walking tour covers approximately 3 km through the narrow streets. Allow over three hours, as discussion frequently leads into overtime. Discover the Québec beyond the familiar.
