Thomas guided today us in Montrial sharing a lot of interesting and useful information in a very good and ..understandable english . We liked a lot this tour and really recommend Thomas as guide.! Daniela and family
Great tour with informative guide (David) and worth doing to get a feel for the city.
Had a great introduction to Montreal on this tour with our very knowledgeable guide, JoAnn. Learned so much about the city's history, culture, architecture and more. It was a fair amount of walking so dress comfortably, and you're sure to enjoy every step.
He was personable and professional. Connected with the group a good value for the money
Super informative! A wonderful tribute to learning historical facts and earning an appreciation for the culture of Montréal
Our tour guide was really knowledgeable, and we enjoyed all the places that we were taken to. A good reminder of some of Canada‘s broader history, but we also enjoyed the specific history and background of Montreal. The sites were great and the tour was just long enough. I absolutely recommend this tour for the beginning of your trip to Montreal
