A GREAT introduction to Montreal!! - It was snowing the morning we left. We were slightly worried that it might affect things, but our tour guide showed up as expected, and the tour proceeded as promised. She was both knowledgeable, humorous, and accommodating. She actually went beyond the allotted time because she wanted to show us more, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a first time visitor to Montreal, or to locals who have never done it because there is a lot to learn.

Great & easy walking tour of Montreal - We really enjoyed this tour. Tour guide gave a good mix of knowledge (business, history, religious, etc). Some of the tour was inside to warm up in the winter so it was a good balance. Our tour guide was also easy to talk too and good company. Tour took just over two hours.

A must do - fun, interesting tour!! - Our guide Thomas was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining - the tour really helped me to get my bearings on my first day in Montreal and he also gave me some museum/restaurant recommendations which was helpful. Really fun and well spent 2hrs, I learned so much as someone who knew next to nothing about the history of Montreal, a must do if you’re new to Montreal!!

Great tour for first time visit. - The guide (Thomas) was VERY knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. It was our first time in Montreal and we wanted to get a general sense of the city as well as some history. We got that and a lot more. I highly recommend.

Very informative - We experienced a glitch with the google maps link which meant we went to wrong place for the start but managed to get to correct starting point in time. Our guide Thomas was very informative and had lots of funny stories. The tour was great way to spend the morning in Montreal.
