History
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, becoming one of the earliest permanent European settlements in North America. Its strategic position along the St Lawrence River made it a vital center for trade defense and exploration.
Over centuries, French and British rule shaped the city’s architecture language and traditions. Fortified walls churches and stone buildings remain preserved within Old Quebec, later earning UNESCO World Heritage status.
Today, Quebec City Tours continue this legacy by sharing the city’s layered past through guided storytelling, ensuring its history remains accessible vivid and deeply human.
