Superb Tour - Perfect for All - Melanie (Mel) was such a wonderful guide! Despite the cold weather, this tour was so worth it. It gives you an idea of Montréal from the history to unique spots to tourist spots. They gave a recommendation list at the end! Superb

Fabulous tour - We did this tour on our first full day in Montreal - it was the best decision ever. We covered all the main areas and felt comfortable exploring more afterward. It was a small group, so we felt we were with a group of friends rather than a massive impersonal tour. Mel, our guide, was fantastic. She answered all our questions and kindly shared her knowledge of this beautiful city.

Excellent Experience! - Chris was our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge! Our group appreciated the fact that he included several stops for washroom breaks. He also pointed us in the right direction after the tour was over which was very kind. P.S. Thank you for the Cheat Sheet!

Highly recommend! - This was our first visit to Montreal and the tour was a great way to start our trip. Danny was our tour guide and he was a wealth of knowledge and knew various bits of information that only an insider would know. After the tour, we knew where to explore and what to see. Would book another tour next time we are in Montreal.

A delightful walking tour! - The tour was lovely! The walk was wonderful and the information interesting and plentiful! It was also a very nice treat when we were given our snack of Bao in China Town. Gabriela, our tour guide was wonderful! She was a wealth of information and knowledge! She was extremely pleasant. It was a delightful 2 1/2 hours, that went very quickly! I especially liked the fact that you visit so many neighborhoods and sights that you might not normally do with other tours. I highly recommend this tour!!

Enjoying Montreal - This tour was varied and in-depth. We saw many aspects of Montreal not just the architecture. Chinatown, the underground walkways, and the art/entertainment dustrict. We had included food in Chinatown and coffee/tea at the tour end. Gabriella was easy to understand, enthusiastic and knowledgeable!
