My husband and I had a wonderful time on the tour, very informative and recommend to everyone visiting the area for the first time.
We jumped on three times. The first was with Debbie, Dale & Marcus. The best of all three. Debbie was fantastic and talked through the entire trip. Very informative, funny, and could clearly hear and understand her. The second was Richard and Dale. Not nearly as good of a commentary and a lot of bad jokes and quite opinionated. Lastly was Mayra Liz. She was terrible. The only time we could kind of hear her was when we were stopped at a light. One gentleman went down and informed her we couldn’t hear her. She would briefly talk louder and then revert back to a quieter commentary. One couple also stood up when they shouldn’t have and she lit into them and quite embarrassed them.
I have taken many tours through Viator but this was probably the worst. Dominic the driver was great, funny, informative and the only redeeming factor about this tour. The tour advertises wrongly, we barely got 20 min at Notredame, we still managed to run and buy tickets to catch a glimpse inside, there was no stop at the Old port which would have been great, the 30 min at the local market was unnecessary, infact the driver said nobody brings tourists there, even the lookout point was rushed, it could be better organized to give visitors a better experience than a run through the city with basically nothing that we will remember!
Point of pick up is easy to locate, the tour guide and the driver did a good job. The driving is smooth and the tour guidance knew the historical events we well and was able to communicate it clearly for us to understand. To me and my partner, it was a nice experience been our first time in Montreal. We had a good time.
Great tour of Montreal our tour operator did a wonderful job explaining area sights. Glad we took tour! The reason I’m rating a 4 the bus needs cleaned and or updated. Musty smelling…no air circulation…
This tour shows you popular places in Montreal with great commentary. There's a few stops to take pictures and walk around. Dominic our driver had a great sense of humor and much knowledge for this trip. Only concern was this bus didnt have any charger outlets for our phones.
Thought this a was good exposure to Montreal. There are a lot of stops that would not be available on a walking tour and so I was glad we took this tour. It also helps when the weather is wet! Enjoyed our guide, and actually was impressed that the company picked us up in a shuttle at our hotel to get to the start point.
Excellent commentary from the guide, a local, who added insights not always included in packaged tours. The bus driver, too, was knowledgeable and interested in knowing his passengers.
A good way to see the sights. Our bus driver was extremely capable and I felt safe at all times. Our guide was very knowledgeable and at times funny making the tour enjoyable. Old Montreal has some beautiful architecture and some of the streets we drove were lovely, especially the old homes with outside staircases. All in all a great tour
Nice tour. You get to see a lot, and the stop at the market is quite enjoyable! But 3.5 hours on a bus is LONG. We went on a Saturday and there was a lot of traffic (obviously not the tour’s fault, just something to consider when booking.) But we learned a ton and visited parts of the city we would otherwise never have made it to for a weekend trip! Tour guide Dominic was very knowledgeable
