Beyond the Basilica - Our tour guide, Chris, was wonderful. He was amiable, thoughtful, and so enthusiastic about Montreal, and all this beautiful city has to offer. He really knew the history and back stories of the sights he showed us. It was a pleasure seeing Old Montreal through his eyes.

A Great Tour! - What a great tour! We had fun with this manageable sized group. Our conscientious and confident guide Gabby kept the pace comfortable but efficient. We covered a lot of ground, learned more than we expected, and had lots to think over and revisit for further exploration the next day.

Great tour of the Basilica and beyond - I throughly enjoyed this walking tour wit Jeff! We covered a lot of ground at a very comfortable pace, and learned a lot about the history and neighborhoods of Montreal. The small group of ten was perfect to ask questions and maneuver easily. Thanks for a great experience!

Enjoy Beyond the Basilica tour. - Marie was a great informative host. She was very nice and told us about several spots. The only glitch was where to find this tour as there were many tours going on at same time meeting at the statue. Maybe a little sign with your name or company visible would be helpful.
