Great tour - Guide was excellent and did an awesome job. She is friendly and explained every detail very well. She also suggested restaurants. Very nice lady.. (she speaks a bit fast, initially I could not follow the French accent, later she also realized)

Loved it - I liked the history and Martin was well versed in the details. There is more outside time than expected. Dress for the weather. I recommend the tour for anyone interested in why a city would build such an extensive underground.

Would recommend - Learning about the history of Montreal and the underground network was very interesting for someone that knows little about the city and is visiting for the first time. Elise was very knowledgeable and open to answering numerous questions from the group.

Fabulous walking tour of Montreal - We went on a tour of downtown Montreal and the under ground city. Gabriella, our tour guide was phenomenal. She answered all of our questions, and we learned a lot about some of the history of the city. At the end of the tour, she gave us a list of places/restaurants for us to visit on our own time.

Awesome Walking tour of Montreal’s Underground - Wonderful introduction to a walking tour and the intricate underground network of Montreal!. Our guide Tom was informative and engaging and it was a good option for a rainy day we kept popping up like ground hogs around the city and the two hours and 4 miles flew past! Would recommend.

The Original Montreal RESO Underground City Tour - Martin was an excellent guide, engaging and with a thorough knowledge of subterranean Montreal and much more. He bought the 2 hour tour to life with a mix of locations and history as well as a general overview of how Montreal evolved from past to present. Highly recommended tour.
