The tour was informative but need more organized presentations. I feel I did not have enough information.

We were very surprised at how special this place was. Our guide was amazing, we learned so much in a very short time! Well worth the visit!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the visit and found the guide so informative. It’s wonderful to know the tour made a strong impression in such a short time!
This oratory is impressive in its size and location. But the architecture where the religious and the heathen mix is very modern and sometimes confusing.
Merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’imposante dimension et le cadre de l’oratoire. Nous comprenons que son architecture, mélangeant influences religieuses et païennes, puisse surprendre certains visiteurs. Votre remarque est précieuse et pourra guider les futurs participants dans leur visite.
We planned this tour for our last day in Montreal. Sorinel was highly knowledgeable about the history of the church and life of Brother Andre. He was very accommodating and took his time to explain everything. Very inspirational place to visit. This holy place exceeded our expectations. If you’re undecided, don’t hesitate. Book this tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Sorinel made your visit so memorable and that the experience exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know you found the tour both informative and inspiring. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
The guide was disorganized and late. We arranged two tours one in English and one is Spanish. Only one guide turned up, despite arranging for two separate tours. Embarrassing as we bought business leaders on this tour.
We’re sorry to hear about the confusion and delays during your tour. Our goal is always to provide timely and organized experiences, and we regret that this did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will work to ensure better coordination for future tours.
Lovely afternoon tour to experience this beautiful site. Be warned though, there is basically no air conditioning and on a warm day, it is stifling inside with little air movement. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting.
Dear Holly, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our tour! We hope that you will use our services again in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back on another tour! Best regards. Rosotravel Team
