An Audio Guide of Old Quebec City's Historical Treasures
On this self-guided walking tour, you'll i mmerse yourself in the historical heart of Old Quebec and meander through the fortified city while learning about its major landmarks.
You’ll hear tales of Quebec’s founder, Samuel de Champlain, and take in spectacular views from the Dufferin Terrace boardwalk, in the shadow of Château Frontenac.

He’ll help you understand what you see around the old and sometimes cobbled streets. By the end of your stroll through the beautiful town, you’ll have covered 400 years of history and visited the city’s most important sites and some of its lesser-known ones, too.
