Experience the charm of old Montreal in a vintage Cadillac convertible! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Vieux Montreal in a vintage Cadillac convertible: our guide Emerson was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Montreal and made the city come alive for us. He also offered some keen insights into what makes Montreal so vibrant and liveable today.
A unique way to experience the charm of Old Montreal!

Fun ride! - We had a good time cruising around old town and then seeing the street murals. Emerson was very knowledgeable and friendly. We asked for the trip to be shortened a bit because we had another commitment and he made it happen. We weren’t able to see as much street art as I had hoped in part because a parking lot was closed (no fault of tour.) overall an enjoyable experience!

Fun and entertaining tour of Montreal - Oliver was a wonderful host and tour guide through Montreal. Very informative. The convertible was also a fun way to see everything. I would recommend the one hour tour vs the 2 hours we did. Everything could comfortably be covered in one hour. And if it’s hot out, go early and remember your sunscreen and a hat!

Montreal at its best! - Marco, our tour guide was incredible! Timely pickup, rich knowledge and experience with great stories about the history, architecture and very in the know of current events in Montréal, superb driving, great sense of humor. Knowing all this in advance, we would've booked a 3 hour tour with him.

Great Way to Start your Montreal Vacation - Emerson picked us up in his beige Cadillac convertible from our hotel and it was a beautiful day! He was late due to the group prior to us and traffic issues, but his communication, personality and knowledge and quality of the tour more than made up for it and we still got our full time!
He gave us a nice balance of history, fun facts, and restaurant and attraction recommendations; which we used!
This was a great way to start out our weekend in Montreal because we had some perspective and guidance of where to return to.

Great time, great car - History lesson was fun and interesting. We were able to go back and explore specific locations on our own later. In a convertible we were able to get great photographs.
.Best part was seeing other people’s reactions to the vintage car. One woman drove past and said “My grandfather drove one of those! Great car” Pedestrians smiled and said positive things about the car

Great way to see the city in style and comfort - We had a fabulous tour with Emerson! First -- my husband LOVED the car -- he's a self professed Motörhead -- and it's a great way to see the city especially if anyone in your group has a mobility issue. Emerson is very knowledgeable about all the culture and history of the city and we just had so much fun with him. He pointed out lots of great places to eat, places to go hear music in the evening etc and additional things to tour while we are in Montreal -- giving us ideas we had not heard of or did not find on Trip Advisor. The car attracts a lot of attention -- especially from men and boys -- and it gave us such a giggle to see the all the reactions, It's a great way to get an overview of Montreal. Highly recommend it!
