This 2-hour small-group tour is casual yet informative, with no two tours being the same.

A nice overview of Old Montreal!
I really enjoyed this walking tour, which got me to all of the main sights in Old Montreal but with the benefit of so much added information! There weren’t a whole lot of “hidden gems” as promised, but that’s okay, it takes a lot of time to see everything. We had a great guide and I would definitely recommend this company!

Tour guide a no show.
Tour guide never showed. We spent $25 to get to designated location but guide didn’t show. Visitor says that an email was sent notifying us of the cancellation, but I never received it if they actually sent it. Bad experience
Operator response
Hi Kelly, we are very sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience this caused. Due to extreme weather conditions, we made the difficult decision to cancel the tour for safety reasons. We sent a cancellation notice by email 48 hours in advance and processed a full refund before the tour date. We sincerely regret that you did not receive the notification and understand how frustrating it must have been to travel to the meeting location unnecessarily. Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize again for the experience.

Fun and Intrigue in Old Montreal
I took this walk around Old Montreal with guide Darren. This tour was great! Darren, full of insight and entertaining stories, seemingly knew the history of every stone wall and feature in the city. The walk lasted two hours and was tailored to the interests of our group. I was amazed at how inexpensive the tour was. It even concluded with an extensive info packet on restaurants, bars, and activities organized by parts of town. This tour was fun, thought provoking, and a must for Montreal visitors.
