VIP Old Québec City 2hr Private Walking Tour
With personalised commentary, by Brian, an independent, self-employed guide, this 2hr tour is like strolling through a theme park, dedicated to 500 years of North American history. You will see the principal sites that made our City a UNESCO World Heritage Treasure and a gem or two known only to locals. You will learn why Place Royale became the city's birthplace; how Champlain created a fur trading network through the midwest down to New Orleans. You will gain a new geo-political perspective on the relationship between Québec City and the French Indian/Seven Years War, as well as the American War of Independance.
Electronic audio equipment make this a truly "private" tour.

Brian logged 5000 hours as a helicopter pilot, then 5000 hours sitting in the back of airliners, travelling the world as a lobbyist. Add on to that experience, a BCom, a Masters in Public Administration, a Diploma in Sociology and you have a guide who's background allows him to discount the typical streaming of historical facts and profile surprising socio-economic and geo-political links between, people, places, events and deliver them in a manner that is as much fun, as it is interesting
On this 2+ hr walking tour of Québec's principle sites, you will explore how Champlain created a vast fur trading network up the St-Laurence and down to New Orleans; how he set the stage for colinisation.
