After the tour we felt that we really understood the layout of the city. It was so helpful for the rest of the time we were visiting. Our guide, Pierre, was absolutely wonderful. Very personable and full of interesting facts and information. Highly recommended.
Friendly knowledgeable guide gave interesting facts making Montreal and her history more meaningful. Daniel found the shadiest spots during the heat wave.
This tour is well worth your while. You learn enough of Montreal’s history to orient you to the city. It is a great starting point. David’s love for his city comes shining through.
Our guide Thomas was personable, knowledgeable, and witty. His passion for living in Montreal was obvious as was the many facts he relayed about Montreal and its past and present.
Bring your walking shoes and be prepared for some uphill walking. Water is also important to bring with you.
David is an excellent tour guide: knowledgeable, pleasant, and interesting. We learned a lot about the history of Montreal and got a taste of the city.
Wonderful learning experience. Our guide, Thomas, was informative & very engaging. I can’t post my simple review without adding more… more more more 😞 Viator- fix this
Pierre was an excellent guide - so knowledgeable and just easy to hang around with. I had two small children with us during the walk and he made sure to cater to both the adults and the children’s interests. Highly recommend for an overview of the city and some good exercise!
Educational. Informative. Guide Frederic K was excellent.
This was a fun, informative, comprehensive walking tour of the historic section of Montreal. Our guide Joanne was outstanding! She was knowledgeable, interesting and flexible. Weather the morning we took the tour was very hot and humid. Joanne was able to vary route slightly to maximize shade and comfort. Highly recommend!
