OUR STORY
Since 2003, Calèches Québec has invited visitors to explore the city at the pace of the horses. Today, our small team carries on that tradition with particular attention to comfort on board, a warm welcome and respect for our horses.
We enjoy getting to know you: where you’re from, whether you’ve visited Québec before and what interests you. In French or English, we talk about the places we pass, their history and architecture, as well as the horses and everyday life in the city.
OUR MISSION
To provide the tourism industry in the Greater Quebec City Area with distinctive horse-drawn transport services while maintaining the highest quality standards and ensuring the utmost respect for horses.
OUR APPROACH
On our guided carriage tours of Old Québec, the driver focuses on handling the horses and driving the carriage. This leaves the guide free to welcome you, help you get settled, share the city’s stories, answer your questions and take your photos.
An elegant carriage, comfortable seats, a door opened for you and blankets in colder weather: we want you to be comfortably settled so you can enjoy your outing.
OUR TRAVEL COMPANIONS
Our carriage tours of Old Québec use a team of two horses. This allows them to share the effort and gives the ride an elegance that is part of its charm.
Respect for our horses guides our choice of equipment and the way we organize our outings. Their comfort is part of the experience, just as yours is.
OUR EXPERIENCES
A private guided tour of Old Québec for couples, families or friends, with a team of horses and staff dedicated to your outing.
