The library is beautiful. The staff are very friendly. The prison tours weren't available in April when we visited which was unfortunate but we'll visit next time in QC
We were coming along for a cultural visit of an old library!!! Ohhhh... What a surprise! We had a GREAT tour. I would recommend to all...Hoping you are not afraid of ghosts!
This facility was beautiful and had an exceptionally interesting prison tour. We happened to be in Quebec City when their celtic festival was going on and were able to enjoy it as well since it was ground zero for activities.
The library was decadent with it's old wood and dated books. The architecture and historical contributions are almost overwhelming. The...

Highly recommend a tour of The Morrin Centre in the heart of Vieux-Québec for anyone interested in architecture, history and looking to discover vestiges of the city's lesser known English heritage... Highlights include a visit of the building's early 19th century dungeon and prison cells as well as the Literary & Historical Society's exceptional library. Our visit was made all...

I took this tour because I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Chief Inspector Gamache, the main character from the Louise Penny novel 'Bury your Dead'. My tour guide was Maxime and he was great. He was very nice and well-informed. My favourite part was the old prison cells and the library. Well worth the visit if you are...

A friend of mine lived in Quebec City for a while, and so when we visited for Carnaval this year, I asked her if she had any place that she desperately wanted to show me while we were there. We weren't in the city for very long. But I did enjoy the trip to the Morrin Centre--Elizabeth and Maxime were...

I really, really, really wanted to enjoy this tour as the Morrin Centre is the focus of Louise Penny's novel, "Bury Your Dead." Unfortunately, our tour guide was Max...something or other. Nice, but too intense. Examples, "How long do you think an indentured servant would be sentenced to serve if he ran away?" Okay, interesting question, but Max, EASE UP!...
