Observatoire de la Capitale + The Grand Tour

Only have a day to get to know and visit Québec City? Then this new package is for you!  

Observatoire de la Capitale and Tours Voir Québec have partnered up to offer a day-long guided tour combining a walk through Old Québec with a visit to the city’s best viewpoint.  

The Grand Tour is a two-hour walking tour of Old Québec, where you’ll stroll through the Upper and Lower Towns in the company of an experienced guide from Tours Voir Québec. It’s perfect for people traveling alone or in small groups, and for locals too. The tour begins at Centre Infotouriste du Vieux-Québec, located at 12 rue Sainte-Anne, and covers everything from architecture to highlights from the city’s history, including the following heritage sites:

  • Fairmont le Château Frontenac
  • The Citadel of Québec
  • Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica
  • The fortifications
  • The Old Port
  • Place Royale
  • And a few surprises too!  

Next, you’ll visit Observatoire de la Capitale, which is located at the top of the tallest building in town, 221 meters above the ground. You’ll enjoy a bird’s eye view of Québec City that will give you a clear sense of its geography and attractions.  

This guided visit is a must for anyone eager to discover Québec City.
