Great start to our visit to Montreal

This was a great tour. Angie was delightful and very knowledgeable about the history of Montreal. She also gave us lots of tips on what to do and where to eat. She went above and beyond when a surprise rain storm hit! She knew the pefect spot to scurry under cover and continued telling us stories until we could continue. Her love of Montreal was contagious! I highly recommend this tour and definitely do it at the beginning of your trip!!

Beautiful morning in the islands.

It was a great pleasure to visit the islands of Saint Helena and Notre-Dame, venue of Expo 67, with Mr Thomas de Guidatour last August. Guidatour guides are always exceptional, and it is a pleasure to visit with them. Francine Roy
