have you tried this tour in Quebec?
 
I thought this looked like a good tour and a good price. Also, it is available year-round. (Some of the attractions I've researched are not open til May or June -- Ominous!) Has anyone tried Tours Voir Quebec-The Grand Tour?

We travel in just a few weeks and I love tours. Your input would be a great help.

I've not taken the tour, but if this is your first visit to Québec, this seems like a good way to get oriented and learn something of the history of the city. I wouldn't worry about whether attractions are open or not, as it does not appear that it includes entry to very many of the places you will be passing. After the tour, you can return to those places you might want to see such as the Citadel and the Basilica.

Thank you, L; I agree. I thought it looked like a decent deal. Not too long, not too short, not too pricey. I know it is not fashionable to say so but I like being a tourist. But my concern about places being open is not so much in reference to the walking tour but more of a general concern about traveling in the spring, off-season. I only hope I will not miss out on too much that is closed til summer.

Thank you, Celcafe, for the recommendation but I already have my hotel arranged, the Dominion 1912.

Olive Oil,
We will be in QC in Sept and I'd love to take a tour also.
If you decide to take this tour will you please post and let us know what you thought?

jaspertl, yes absolutely. I will post a trip report when I return. There is not so much action on this board vis a vis Quebec so I will be glad to contribute.
