Tour Options
Itinerary
Depart Montreal in the morning for your day trip to the Laurentian Mountains (Les Laurentides), one of Montrealers’ favorite getaway spots.
Your first stop is the village of St-Sauveur, where you’ll be charmed by its cute main street lined with boutiques, cafes and shops. Enjoy one hour of free time here to browse the shops for souvenirs, admire the town’s historical buildings or enjoy a cup of coffee.
After meeting back up with your guide, make your way to the next village, St-Adolphe d’Howard, about 20 minutes away. Stop here briefly for a photo op of Lac Joseph
Visit the village of St-Agathe-des-Monts.
When you arrive, you’ll have three hours of free time to eat, shop, walk around the village and take advantage of the alpine sightseeing activities, such as riding the gondola up to the top of Mont Tremblant, the highest peak in the Laurentians. Perhaps you want to linger over a long French lunch with good wine, or just grab a sandwich before discovering what's happening in the village that day; events often take place, such as the Tremblant International Blues Festival (all food, drinks, activities and events at your own expense).
Finally, make the two-hour drive back to Montreal, where your day trip ends.

not as listed, false information.on.schedule we didnt have tiime stated in the small.towns both very short and three hours ad primised but its too llong.be more orecise in the schedule
This company have terrible communication. Viator allowed me to specify a hotel pickup at 8am for a day trip to the Laurentian mountains. After 30 mins waiting for pickup it turns out that no pickup forthcoming. Was pointed to small print in GrayLine t & c that I had not seen to say had to call first and that pickup mysteriously would have been 7.25am despite Viator saying 8am. Went to their office. What then made things worse was the lack of empathy. No apologies for poor communication. No offer of refund. A shockingly bad experience all round.
Pick up from hotels may be much earlier than the 8:00 advertised departure. Guide and driver were wonderful.
It was a great way to see the mountains and several beautiful villages. I don’t think someone unfamiliar with the area would have been able to navigate the back roads to find all the quaint areas. Only negative, the tour guide was wonderful but mentioned his tip and when we were to give it to him - about 15 times. It was a fun day though.
Guide / driver was excellent. That is the consensus of the group of 4. The only negative was him being over cautious about the wait time to go to the top of the mountain at Trembiant .
Nice tour in the Laurentians with guide who informed us well. Pick up at our hotel was a plus.
The description of the tour was not what we did. We spent 15minutes at Sommet St Sauveur, it was just a toilet and coffee stop. At St Agatha Des Monts we did not stop. The 3 hour stop at Mont Tremblant was too long and didn’t warrant that length of time. We were preached at on several occasions by the tour guide that the only reason we were here on the tour was because of God, which is very inappropriate. The drive back was advertised as 2 hours but it was 3 hours. Overall a very disappointing day, not the excursion we expected and paid for
I called the no supplied to get info on pick up , I was put on hold and nobody answered . I tried 2 times . Next morning , I waited 1 hr for my pick up and they never showed up, no call , no email , nothing . Then they refuse to give me a refund . Pure cheating . I called them after waiting for 1 hr 4 times and again they put me on hold each time .. waited 45 minutes on 1 of the calls . And finally when I got someone , they just replied call Viator wih also did not bother to help .
Loved this tour. Mont Tremblant village was great. 3 hours to ride the free Cabriolet and if you wanted to, the Gondola $32 rt up further. There were lots of charming cafes and shops to visit. The guide, Richard, and driver, Serge, were outstanding. I highly recommend this tour.
Very enjoyable and guide very knowledgeable. Time at each stop was perfect. Price was very reasonable
