Andre is a delight. He's a native of Montreal and bi-lingual so he really knows the area. He also has a great sense of humor, frequently laughed with us throughout the tour. Highly recommend him.
Thomas, our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Very friendly as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

This was an interesting and informative tour made even better by a few bites of Montreal classics. It was a great way to introduce us to beautiful Montreal. We loved it!
Dear Jennifer, thank you so much for your lovely message! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, and that the tastes of Montreal made it even more special. It really is a delicious way to get to know such a beautiful city, isn’t it? We’re happy you loved the experience. We’d love to welcome you on another adventure sometime soon!
David was a well practiced & informational guide. He had clearly put great effort into creating a logical tour path that covered the Old Town really well. I would say that our tour was skewed more toward sightseeing than food tasting. Other than a half portion of Montreal bagel, I don’t know that any of the other 3 food tastings were all that “traditionally Canadian”. This could have been disappointing, but David’s selection of tour sites and his knowledge of the city overcame the food selections. It was a nice afternoon for walking (about 2 miles ), so overall a very positive experience!
