Underground city was amazing - Elise was a fantastic tour guide and had a ton of knowledge about Montreal. Not only was the tour informative and took us through an area that would've been hard to navigate, but she had great attraction recommendations, historical photos, and overall a ton of knowledge. Highly recommended!

Great way to get to know the city - As a first timer to Montreal, this was a great way to get to know the city. Katherine was quite knowledgeable and helpful. She provided the history of Montreal along with additional tidbits of information. The event and dinner recommendations were useful as well. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great winter tour - We had a great experiene. Our guide was local and had so much good information about the RESO. She really made the tour informational and fun. It was a good tour for the winter. Mostly indoors, but a little bit of outdoor adventure. It was also great to learn to navigate the tunnels.

Winter touring in Montreal. - My wife and I took the Underground tour. Gabriella was our guide. She was excellent. The tour was well paced and informative. We were able to see quite a bit of the underground and our guide was able to answer all of our questions. She had a wealth of Montreal knowledge. Would recommend this tour.

Winter trip - Our guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. She made the tour so enjoyable. It was our first trip to Montreal, Canada, and since it’s winter month, we didn’t want to spend too much time outside. This tour was mostly inside, but we did get to go outdoor to see many important landmarks. I would highly recommend taking this tour when visiting Montreal.
