Our guide Sébastien was fantastic! We had an excellent private tour of Montreal. His anecdotes, valuable advice, and historical knowledge made the tour fascinating. We had a wonderful morning as a family, with our two children aged 10 and 13, who also enjoyed it very much. We recommend this tour without hesitation!
Un immense merci pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes absolument ravis de lire que votre visite privée de Montréal en famille a été une telle réussite. C'est une grande fierté pour nous d'apprendre que Sébastien a su captiver toute la famille. Captiver des enfants de 10 et 13 ans avec de l'histoire est un art, et il sera enchanté de savoir que ses anecdotes, ses précieux conseils et son approche passionnante ont fait mouche auprès des petits comme des grands ! Je lui transmettrai vos chaleureux compliments avec grand plaisir. Merci encore pour votre recommandation sans hésiter, et nous vous souhaitons, à vous et vos enfants, une excellente continuation de séjour à Montréal !
Guide was Daniel...excellent! Definite an asset to your company. Group was 10-12 people, he was well organized and new he had all English speaking visitors to his city. He shared just enough detail as he could have talked much longer but we would have run out of time. He answered individual questions on the tour and at the end stayed for those wishing more information. GREAT tour guide!
Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you had such an excellent experience with us. I will definitely pass your wonderful compliments along to Daniel—he will be so proud to hear that he was considered a true asset to our company. We are glad his organization, time management, and dedication to answering everyone's questions made the tour so enjoyable for your group. Thank you again, and we hope to see you on another tour in the future!
Perfectly welcomed by sylvain , our guide was very friendly adapts completely to the desires of his group. Perfect tour to discover old Montreal and excellent discovery for us fresh from France.
Nous sommes ravis que votre première expérience ici ait été réussie. Un grand merci pour vos bons mots sur la flexibilité de Sylvain ; nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre votre message, il sera touché. Au plaisir de vous revoir.
Great tour guide, learned a lot about Montreal and got good tips about the city. Loved being able to stop where and when we wanted.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you had a great time and found the tour to be informative. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to the guide and appreciate your feedback about the flexibility of the tour.
Excellent way to get an overview of Montreal. We toured much of the city and learned about the history, key figures and architecture. Fred was awesome!

Frederic was a great guide for our group of 4 visiting from Australia/UK. He was very entertaining and full of interesting anecdotes about Montreal and its history. This was a “Downtown and Old Montreal Walking Tour” for 3 hours and it was certainly worthwhile. We got a real feel for Montreal as a city now (how the underground walkways work, how the current city developed) as well as the expected historical commentary. He also showed us some unexpected coffee and dining options that we would probably not come across ourselves through guidebooks/internet searches. Definitely worth booking for a Montreal trip to really understand the city and not just its older history. The city is hilly though, and the street surfaces a bit uneven, so you need to be reasonably fit and agile to do the tour.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that Frederic was a great and entertaining guide for your group. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the blend of both historical commentary and modern insights, from the underground walkways to the unexpected dining options. We love knowing that his anecdotes and insider tips helped you get a real feel for the city. We also appreciate your helpful note about the physical demands of the tour. This is valuable feedback for us and for future guests who are planning their visit. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Frederic! We're delighted you found the tour so worthwhile.
We had eight people in our group ages 3 to 65. Mathieu gave an educational tour that was also a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Hélène, our guide has passed on her passion for her city "floating crescent" that she knows better than anyone! Fabulous walk, catchy and never tiring... a delight!
