A Great Tour! 10/10 - My husband and I enjoyed our tour very much. Our guide Shannon was very knowledgable and sweet. She had lots of patience for everyone's questions, and she gave beautiful answers. We had a great time! 10/10 :) And, about an hour after the tour ended, we just happened to bump into her at a vegetarian place, and she was so nice. It was like meeting an old friend :)

Best walking tour ever! - Shannon was a phenomenal tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about the subject and the neighborhood. She brought to life how challenging life had to be for Jews here in Montréal during the early 20th Century. This was one of the best tours our family has ever taken and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Fantastic experience!

1st Movers & Shakers in Jewish Montréal - Very interesting tour. Emily was most knowledgeable of the original Jewish area of Montreal. Topics include individuals who made their mark in the fields of education, medical care, religious community and the industry in the area . Highly recommend.
