Good experience discovering Sherbrooke with a very friendly guide who takes us on a nice long walk in very pretty corners of the city. Nice balance between city and nature during the walk and we learn about several places. Thank you David!

David was a wonderful guide. He took us to areas of Sherbrooke that we would never have known about on our own. His love for the city and its people came through through his knowledge of the city and the places we visited. I highly recommend him as a guide if you want to learn more about Sherbrooke and how it has evolved into the city it is today.
