Outstanding experience!... - Outstanding experience! We really enjoyed seeing Montreal and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He made the tour worthwhile. The scheduled stops were perfect and we got a great feel for the city. Mounir was outstanding and even went out of his way to help us when we left something in the van after the tour. We really loved the experience!

Wonderful Day Trip - This was a wonderful day filled with a great deal of information and a taste of Montreal to understand the lay of the land. Fran was a delight. She picked us up at a nearby hotel she greeted us with a warm hello and a bottle of water. One other guest joined us for the first half of the day. Fran is very knowledgeable and was able to explain all the areas and cultures of Montreal. We had many stops and photo opportunities to stretch your legs. When breaking for lunch we asked for suggestions and she was very accommodating. After lunch it was just the two of us and so it was a private tour. In the afternoon we stopped at a very old bagel shop and it was delicious! They had many choices but Fran suggested we get the warmest one out of the oven and it was amazing. Definitely a treat. In little Italy we went to an indoor market with many fresh foods produce and baked goods amongst many other items. This is where we tasted Maple syrup. Fran also said that apples are a specialty. You could not purchase individual ones however upon arriving back at the bus Fran had bought us unpasteurized apple cider. Very thoughtful. Fran also gave us suggestions of the best museums to visit on our own. Fran really went out of her way to make the day special and memorable. I highly recommend this excursion. Merci’ beaucoup🇨🇦

Comprehensive and exciting tour! - This one one of the most comprehensive and enjoyable city tours that I have ever been on. We got to see the various neighborhoods, learn a great deal about history, culture, and people, all while enjoying some tasty treats! The tour guide was phenenomal - so much so that we decided to go back with the rest of our family in a few months and repeat the same tour!

Great tour if you want to see Montreal - If you want to know more about Montreal, this is the tour for you! Fran was our guide and very knowledgeable about the city and history. She made the tour so much fun! There was snow, but that didn’t stop us from seeing the sites. Loved the bagel stop and trying out everything maple at the market. The last stop was St Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal.

Funtime In Montreal - Our tour guide, Francois, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and experienced. We enjoyed her tour very much. It was good to see entire city. Francois explained the city parts which helped navigate on our own the next day.

Not worth the price, tour too long - I received a couple of emails before the tour confirming the meeting point, with the last one clearly stating that it would be at the monument. However, the night before the tour, the driver changed the meeting point to a hotel with the same name — which was obviously confusing. We ended up arriving late, and the driver blamed us, which showed a lack of empathy.
The tour itself is okay and fairly complete, but it took much longer than necessary. The driver was extremely knowledgeable about the city. However, We spent too much time on things that simply weren’t worth it. The entire experience could have been done in at least two hours less.
For the price we paid, I expected a much more or better experience. In my opinion, it’s not worth the cost.

Too long and not enough stops - The guide Fran was very knowledgeable about Montreal history but overall the experience was just too long and not as enjoyable as I would have expected. The van was falling apart inside with duct tape all over the floors. No water was provided in the van at all for guests and some of the driving portions were over 2 hours long up and down the same streets. We picked up an additional person after lunch and some of the same facts and places were revisited . The Notre Dame Bascilica is not included in the tour even though it mentions it in the description. So my husband bought us tickets and we rushed through it on our hour lunch break which was not enough time to explore old Montreal especially in the snow which makes walking more challenging. I am not sure what my money paid for considering all we got was a bagel, some free syrups at the market and entrance to st Joseph’s. Too pricey for just driving around in my opinion. A lot of cool places were mentioned but not enough stops to keep us engaged.
