Great Way to Start a Trip to Montreal - This was the first excursion we went on in Montreal. It's the perfect way to get to know the City. Tour was in a clean van and was uncrowded. Our guide, Harald, gave us a great tour with a lot of information. We stopped in spots long enough to get a feel for the various neighborhoods, and that made it easier to return to these places on our own later in the week. We had a blast. Highly recommended.

Very nice full day Montreal Tour - This tour was very nice. Started with a pickup at your hotel (excellent communication with Tour company setting it up the day prior to trip). Our ride was in a very comfortable van with clean windows and lots of space. Tour guide Monu (??spelling) was very nice and cordial. The selected visits along the way were excellent... perfect start at the famous St Viateur Bagel Shop.. the tour moved on visiting many excellent locations (see tour descriptions). Our tour ended with our guide driving us back to our hotel. In all, I found this Montreal Tour to be very worthwhile and highly recommended.

My favorite tour! - This was my favorite tour during my trip to Montreal! Harald, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and charismatic and made this tour well worth the price. We explored many neighborhoods and sites, and despite the cold, Harald didn't cut any corners. We did the 7 hour tour which took just a bit longer due to the weather, but it was well worth it! Highly recommend this tour, especially for those who don't have much time in Montreal and want to see a little bit of everything with a knowledgeable guide who truly loves his job and the subject matter.

I recommend the Montreal Intercultural City Tour - I love the customer service offered by Mounir of NTours. The original Montreal Night Tour we had reserved was cancelled because there weren't enough participants. He offered to change our reservation to the Montreal Intercultural City Tour. We lucked out! It was not only a great, informative tour, but our guide - Harald - was fun and knowledgeable. There were only five of us in this small group tour, which offered a unique personalized experience.

Awesome Tour Guide Loved Visiting Neighborhoods but Very Pricey! - My tour guide was just awesome. He communicated with everyone well and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him, he seems very knowledgeable about the city. I wish we had seen more of the Underground, everything else was fine but the tour itself is very pricey for what you get. I would recommend more reasonable options that are similar to this tour.
