Short and sweet tour of all the best spots in Montreal
We had a great time touring neighbourhoods and hearing about the history of people that live in them. The bagel stop was our favourite but we also enjoyed our walk through Jean Talon market. We had already visited the island, but our drive around the F1 track was a nice surprise. Fran took great care of us, made sure my daughter was comfortable and answered any questions we had.
My husband was disappointed that he didn’t join us. We probably should have done this tour the first full day of our trip as it would have given us a good idea of where we could visit during our 5 days.

we did the 7-hour tour. the guide Fran was great! we saw parts of Montreal that we would not have seen if we had not been motorized. the Bagel stop was a plus, just like Saint Joseph's Oratory and the Canada circuit. we were 3, a couple with a 16-year-old teenager

Wonderful Tour, Wonderful Guide, Wonderful City!
We had an excellent experience on our half-day tour of Montreal. It was the perfect way to discover the city from a more local perspective and gain a deeper appreciation for its history, culture, and unique neighborhoods.
Our tour guide, Fran, was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, friendly, kind, and courteous throughout the entire tour. Her passion for Montreal was evident, and she shared interesting insights and stories that brought the city to life in a way we would never have experienced on our own.
This tour was one of the highlights of our visit. We loved all the stops, especially tasting the famous Montreal bagel shop and the drive on the F1 circuit. We left with a greater understanding of this beautiful city and many recommendations to explore further. We would absolutely take this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal. Thank you Ntours for this wonderful tour!

Enjoyable
Informative and friendly guide. Enjoyable. More walking than expected but that was okay for our group. The food in old Montreal wasn’t that great. I would skip and take your own picnic.
Operator response
Thank you for your review and comments. We really appreciate the feedback. But, we are not sure what we understand what you meant by more walking than expected.
In the tour, the walking part is mainly optional and at one's own pace, whether this is around the Market Jean Talon or in Le Plateau neighborhood.
We are sorry that you did not find any food offer that you like in Old Montreal, even though one of the widest secletion of food in the city is within Old Montreal area. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Great comprehensive tour of Montreal
My husband and I did the 7 hours tour with a break for lunch in the old town. We enjoyed it tremendously! Our tour guide Fran was fantastic. The first half was focused on well-known historic places while the second half provided a glimpse into local life in less touristy neighborhoods.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Happy holidays and all the best!

Fabulous day!
I did the full- day 8-hour tour, and I highly recommend it, especially for first time visitors, best done on your first day here. You’ll get a thorough understanding of the city and its people, food, and traditions. Don’t eat breakfast! One of your first stops is at a local Jewish bakery where you’ll get a whole bagel, famous in Montreal!
