We went on a tour with Luc last week and it was a highlight of our three-night stay in Quebec City.
It was so nice to be outside and to hear some of the history of that beautiful city. We don't speak French and thankfully Luc's English was flawless--and his knowledge of the city and his commentary on it really helped us to appreciate the city even more.
As stated the tour lasts three hours--part of it was spent standing as we learned more about a specific monument or square and the rest was spent riding a bike trail where our reward was not only the beautiful scenery, but a delicious cappuccino at Brulerie Rousseau in Le Grand Marche. I just looked it up and it's a 4k bike ride from Le Grand Marche to the bike shop--not sure how far we went in total but we rode at least that far (so biked at least 8k?). On the way back we also got to bike through a few neighborhoods so we could see homes and areas we wouldn't have visited otherwise.
My husband and I were the only two on the tour--we went on a Thursday morning in late September--and after seeing the huge crowds on the walking tours as we biked around with Luc it confirmed we made the right decision. It really was such a fun and informative morning.
