Fabulous walking tour of Old Montreal!!! - What a fabulous walking tour!! We may have been crazy to proceed in 4 degrees F, but it was great. Our tour guide came prepared with extra gloves and hand warmers. Jeff was so knowledgeable and personable. It was fun and we learned so much. Highly recommend! Our 11 & 13 year old had fun too.

Jeff was absolutely... - Jeff was absolutely amazing. He did a great job of explaining the history of the city in an interesting and funny way. He was super relatable and professional at the same time. Gave us recommendations for dining and fun after the tour was over. More than happy to take pictures for us. Even in winter this is a must do tour. Couldn’t recommend the tour or Jeff enough.

Awesome tour of Montreal - Jeff was the best guide! We learned so much and he connected with us with all his knowledge. We were lucky to not have anyone else on the tour so it was just us so it felt like walking around with a friend. It is essential to have this tour to know the city, I would recommend it to everyone!
