jp2001 Posted June 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hello, I thought I would post an old blog of mine. It suggests a walking tour. It's old but most (not all) info is still good. I hope it helps a few of you to enjoy our city. http://jp2001-travel.blogspot.ca/¸ Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennetro Posted June 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thank you "JP" for the wealth of information! We will be there in September & will follow your leads. We also want to take the public bus on a day trip to Montmorency Falls, so we can't wait to read your blog on visiting the falls as well! Thank you!!!

jp2001 Posted June 10, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'll be honnest, I don't think I'll do that part... my blog is from 2006 already :) But if I find the time, I'll post it on the boards too (a request sometimes gets me going so you MIGHT be lucky).

jp2001 Posted June 10, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Are you staying in Québec an extra day? Because the walking tour and the falls by bus are too much to do for a single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatYourBoatSince2003 Posted June 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hey there! Have copied your blog details thank you! We'll be in Quebec City for two days in September and are trying to figure out how to best split the walking tour... or perhaps see the falls on the second day. Not too worried about it - we'll go with the flow, but I will be looking back to see about any advice you have about the falls... :) Since we are there overnight, what might be the best way to spend the evening?

bookmomma Posted June 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for sharing this detailed information with us! I'll be in your fair Quebec City with my daughters (12 and 9) in about 3 weeks. Soooooo excited. We'll be there for the 2 ship days, plus are staying an extra night at Chateau Frontenac. I saw another post where you suggested a ghost tour...do you think that would be good for my girls' ages? Any specific recommendations you'd have for a family? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted June 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks, Planning to be there July 4 - 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennetro Posted June 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Are you staying in Québec an extra day? Because the walking tour and the falls by bus are too much to do for a single day. No, we will be there two days. (sorry I failed to mention that.) We will walk the city the first day & then do the falls separately on the 2nd. Thank you!

Jolie_Cruiser Posted June 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Tilly’s mom was asking on the “Montreal anything” thread: …. Do you know who does the day trip to Quebec and the waterfalls that Viator sells? If we do that the day we sail, what do you suggest we see our full day there? .... I took the « Grand Tour of Old Quebec » a walking tour which was enjoyable and informative with this company : http://www.toursvoirquebec.com/quebec-city For the Viator tour you are asking this might be the company: https://toursvieuxquebec.com/en/page/city-and-country-tours If you only have one day in Québec City, I would definitely concentrate on visiting Old Quebec with a guide to give you some history. Montmorency Fall is nice, very high but quite narrow (especially if you have seen Niagara Falls) and you can go there by public transport. I would only do the Montmorency Fall if you still have time after visiting Old Quebec. To give you a preview, here is a port guide written by a fellow cruiser (free and no publicity): http://www.tomsportguides.com/Quebec-06-10-2011.pdf An update of this guide is supposed to come out around June 30th 2014. Québec City is beautiful, I am sure you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much bigger (40 pages longer) and contains info about walking tours, bus routes, driving tours, maps, GPS coordinates, different docks etc. Enjoy: http://www.tomsportguides.com/QuebecCity-06-30-2014.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
