Informative and friendly guide. Enjoyable. More walking than expected but that was okay for our group. The food in old Montreal wasn’t that great. I would skip and take your own picnic.
Thank you for your review and comments. We really appreciate the feedback. But, we are not sure what we understand what you meant by more walking than expected. In the tour, the walking part is mainly optional and at one's own pace, whether this is around the Market Jean Talon or in Le Plateau neighborhood. We are sorry that you did not find any food offer that you like in Old Montreal, even though one of the widest secletion of food in the city is within Old Montreal area. Enjoy travelling and all the best!
My husband and I did the 7 hours tour with a break for lunch in the old town. We enjoyed it tremendously! Our tour guide Fran was fantastic. The first half was focused on well-known historic places while the second half provided a glimpse into local life in less touristy neighborhoods.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Happy holidays and all the best!
Our guide, Fran, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The visits were exactly the right amount of time and the tour was fun.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Nice more travels and all the best!
I did the full- day 8-hour tour, and I highly recommend it, especially for first time visitors, best done on your first day here. You’ll get a thorough understanding of the city and its people, food, and traditions. Don’t eat breakfast! One of your first stops is at a local Jewish bakery where you’ll get a whole bagel, famous in Montreal!

Thank you so much for your kind review. It is highly appreciated. Nice travels. All the best!
This was the first excursion we went on in Montreal. It's the perfect way to get to know the City. Tour was in a clean van and was uncrowded. Our guide, Harald, gave us a great tour with a lot of information. We stopped in spots long enough to get a feel for the various neighborhoods, and that made it easier to return to these places on our own later in the week. We had a blast. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Nice travels. All the best!
