Hoteller i nærheden af The Essential 101 Non-Touristy Walking Tour by Spade & Palacio
Beskrivelse
Vi starter vores gåtur i Montréal ved at springe linjen ved Notre-Dame-basilikaen, før vi vandrer i Vieux-Montréal. Vi vil hoppe ind i nogle historiske og arkitektonisk perler for at få en forståelse af kvarteret, før vi går ud og efterlader turistmængderne bagud. Vi går gennem et segment af vores indre eller underjordiske by. Det er det største indendørs netværk på planeten og lader os gøre vores vej til Chinatown for et hurtigt snack, da vi får det slanke på området. Så er det af til vores gamle Red Light District, vendt underholdning Mekka for at se, hvor de største festivaler finder sted. Vi hopper ind i en whacky ofte savnet institution til et besøg. Oppe på Saint-Laurent boulevard kigger vi på et halvt dusin imponerende kunstværker fra Montreals MURAL Festival i bydelen, der er hjemsted for den højeste koncentration af kunstnere i Canada. Med en kaffe fra en lokal tredje bølge butik i hånden vi gå de hofte dele af den nedre Main før efterlader dig med en brugerdefineret liste over anbefalinger!!

The tour guide, Mel, did an excellent job showing us around the city as we viewed a lot of cool art and sites. Great tour if you want to see other parts of Montreal besides just old Montreal.
We enjoyed the tour and learning more about Montreal. China town boa was excellent and loved visiting Notre Dame and the underground city but did not enjoy all stops after.
Aww sorry to hear this. At the same time it’s all in the description. A bit of classics and history and pretty but THEN current, cultural and gritty. That’s the whole point of the tour. Where you lost interest is where we leave all the tourist groups behind. You’d be better off on an only Old Montréal tour or a hop on hop off bus next time. Was a pleasure to host you regardless. Hope the recommendations list didn’t scare you! They’re all in local neighborhoods 😉
Great experience! Our guide, David, was so fun and knowledgeable
Love this tour to see some classics and then head to the "real" Montréal. Hope you were able to keep exploring the Plateau neighborhood with the recommendations list we left you!
We learned about Montreal history and architecture through this fast paced, informative tour which was geared to go beyond the beaten track of the usual tourist stops. Our guide Jesse was FANTASTIC – so knowledgeable, personal, and just a pleasure to spend a few hours with – can’t recommend this tour, and especially if you get Jesse, enough – thanks, Jesse!!!!
Outstanding walking tour of Montreal which gave us insights into some local cultural history we would not otherwise have encountered. David, our guide, was exceptional in his narrative storytelling and explanations and we enjoyed ability to weave in what goes on in everyday life with how things were previously so we felt as if we got to understand Montreal just enough to go offf on our own and have the context we wanted. The arrival point was easy to find and centrally located and the walking and length were not overwhelming for two adults (there were some kids 11-12 year old) on the tour too and they were engaged and seemed to do just fine as well. The group size (10) was quite nice as well.
Great introduction to different aspects of Old and a little new Montreal. Our guide Chris was very informative. Walk was easy. Highly recommend this walking tour for all ages.
Wonderful tour of non touristy spots around the city. We learned a lot about different neighborhoods and the history of Montreal and how it affects the residents.
Well done introduction to Montreal. Easy pace. Knowledgeable guide. Answered questions. Fun factoids and anecdotes.
Small group of 8 was perfect and pace of learning, walking and sites explained and seen was exactly what we wanted as the kick off of our time in Montreal Christopher is a consummate professional and his insights, humor and knowledge made the tour very enjoyable, as well as helpful for the remaining time in this beautiful city. We highly recommend this tour and the owner's cheat sheet (request this early on!) and if possible, go with Christopher.
Very nice tour with our guide David. Old Montreal is full of beautiful things to see. The basilica is just magnificent
