Fun! - Gabriela was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable. Even though it is an "underground" tour we actually learned a lot of interesting things about the architecture of Montreal. The tour is quite fascinating and Gabriela was very patient and kind.

Time well spent - Martin was wonderful in helping us understand the “underground” connection network. Our first time to Montreal and understanding how to get around without having to go outside was so helpful. Definitely recommend.

Montreal RESO tour - Martin was entertaining and informative. A good way to understand the RESO - underground pedestrian network - which ‘hides’ lots of interesting places and routes to travel by foot to see museums, cafes, theatre, metro stations.

Hi Martin! - Our guide Martin had taken us on another tour, and we were pleased to see him. He took us around the “underground “ of Montreal and helped us to get our bearings . He is fun and knowledgeable….i would definitely do it again!

Lots of great details - Elise was very accommodating and pointed out a lot of details one would have overlooked just walking around. We learned a lot about the city, the system and people.

Tour much better than trying it yourself - This is a terrific way to see the u ground area which I find very confusing. It’s easy to get turned around and miss interesting art and history. Isabelle is an excellent enthusiastic guide with a wealth of knowledge. We saw and learned so much. Our friends chose not to take the tour and explore themselves and didn’t see a fraction of the things we did. Highly recommend.

So if one is interested... - So if one is interested in urban environments, the RÉSO is interesting on many levels i.e. execution, management, vision etc and Martin our guide explained it very well. It really is a tour that is what it says i.e an introduction and explanation of the "underground city". The largest underground complex in the world.

Too Boring - Guide was very knowledgeable but too many stops at uninteresting places. Many times we were just underground looking at blank walls
