Quebec

During a sightseeing tour of Quebec, the best Russian guides of Quebec will acquaint you with the history of the origin and development of the city.

Quebec City is the former capital of Nouvelle-France and the real capital of the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec.

During the tour you will visit the place where in 1759 there was a battle between the French and British armies. This battle changed the history of Canada and is a key one in the history of North America.

Driving through the ancient gates of Kent (Porte Kent), you will get to Old Quebec (Vieux-Quebec) - the oldest Canadian city, which has preserved the unique atmosphere of the European Middle Ages. You will not see this atmosphere anywhere else in North America. It is no coincidence that the old part of the city is declared a World Heritage by UNESCO.

You will see many historical monuments, medieval buildings, Renaissance buildings, Catholic cathedrals, Jesuit and Franciscan monasteries.

From the Old Town we head to the famous Aquarium of Quebec. Here on the territory of 16 hectares comfortably live more than 10 thousand different species of animals representing the animal and underwater world of the subarctic coast of Canada. You will not only see huge frolic polar bears and walruses, but also look into the ocean depths of the northern seas.
