What to Expect

Group Composition

Maximum group size is eight participants. This limit isn't arbitrary. It represents the threshold where meaningful discussion becomes difficult and where a guide's ability to adapt pacing to individual questions breaks down.

Physical Requirements

Quebec City's topography includes significant elevation changes. Routes designated as moderate or challenging involve extended stair sequences and steep inclines. If you have mobility considerations, contact us before booking to discuss which routes match your capabilities.

Weather Adaptations

Routes operate year-round. Winter versions incorporate different stopping points to account for reduced outdoor standing time. Summer routes include more extensive exterior building analysis. The same route title in January and July covers the same themes but uses different spatial sequences.
