Worth the trip even if it was 10 degrees F - I would highly recommend this walking tour. I was travelling with a friend and we liked the fact the group is limited to 10 people. We were in Montreal for just a couple of days and did this on our first full day. Gave us a good overview of the Old Town area. Our guide Lesley(?) was very good. She did a great job of taking us thru Montreal's history as we were looking at historical buildings and other monuments. The tour took us to places I know I would have walked into. Great two hours. Lesley even had hand and feet warmer with her to make sure her guests were comfortable. Did a good job of going into buildings to warm up a bit during the tour. Don't let the cold weather deter you. Best for Adults Fee good value

Very informative tour. - Met our guide, Silvia, who was friendly, very knowledgeable and kept us on pace to learn about the complex English, French, Iroquois history & architecture of Old Montreal. My daughter and I learned a lot and it helped us make decisions of where else to explore for the remaining days of our visit. We were dressed well for the cold and somewhat sunny day. Would recommend to others to take this tour that started on time. Lots to see in 2 hours.

Great tour experience! - We had a great tour of Montreal with Louise as our guide. She relayed the history while walking us around various sites. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing the stories and anecdotes about the people of the past and how they influenced the city as it is today.

Must Take This Tour! - It was such a cold day, even the locals were commenting on how cold it was! Despite the truly miserable conditions, our guide Louise made this tour completely amazing. She was thoughtful about how she arranged the tour. Planned the night before with stops indoors in mind given how cold the weather was anticipated to be. She even brought enough hand warmers for the entire group (there were about 10 of us) for anyone who wanted them, which was definitely all of us. Her knowledge about the city of Montreal was extensive and only matched by her genuine enthusiasm for her job. This was unexpectedly the highlight of our entire trip!
