Booking fee
​
When booking the free walking tour, please note there's a nominal fee of 4$
($3.49 + plus sales taxes TPS 5% 0.17$ / TVQ 9.97% 0.35$)
This fee is not only vital for the upkeep and enhancement of my website and booking system but also acts as a guarantee for your reserved spot while helping to minimize no-shows.Please note that the booking fee is not part the donation to the guide at the end of the tour.
By participating in the tour, you're not just embarking on a journey through our city's rich history and culture but it also making a meaningful contribution to our community. 0.75$ of the fee is directed towards supporting a local nonprofit organization I proudly endorse called La Bouchée Généreuse in Limoilou.
​
La Bouchée Généreuse is dedicated to addressing food insecurity and social inequality within our community. Through various initiatives such as food recycling programs, community grocery stores, optician services, and thrift shops, they provide essential support to over 1,000 families in need.
Your contribution through the booking fee not only supports our local community but also helps newcomers establish themselves here. Thank you for being part of our tour, and at the end of the year, your donation will be given. Recognizing that not everyone has the opportunity to travel, your participation in our tour allows us to lend a helping hand to those in need, ensuring that the positive impact of tourism reaches even those who may not have the chance to explore.
