The highlight for sure were eating at the continental and watching the maitre D flambé our shrimp. It was an awesome meal. Another pleasant surprise was eating a mindfully prepared meal at a hospital Sounds strange but the meal of wild boar and grain pudding was excellent. Our guide Danielle was fun and informative but you could really tell she enjoyed being with us. In all a wonderful and worthwhile experience.Rachel_L

Nunnery, funicular and great food. The plaza where Champlain built his house was really cool too. Marie, our guide, was very welcoming, well informed, and fun.

Trying out new foods and experiences while learning so much about history. Judith was full of interesting facts. Also enjoyed the smaller group of 4 people as it gave us a chance to chat and learn about each other.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon at the end of December right when the government announced that all food services would be shutting down for New Years. We contacted HQ Services Touristiques immediately to see if they could change out New Years tour to two days earlier. Even though they were full, they made an exception for us so that we could have the experience! On the actual tour, we had Dennis as our tour guide, and he did an AMAZING job! He was so knowledgeable, comical, and happy to answer our questions. We loved hearing about his journey to learn English and become a tour guide, and we are so glad that he did because he is made for this job! Thank you HQ Services Touristiques for allowing us to take this tour on our honeymoon and to you Dennis for making it a highlight of our honeymoon!
