    Moustafa, our tour guide, was exceptional! His knowledge of the history of Montreal and Quebec really brought the city to life. He also covered many eating areas and tourist spots that made us more aware of places we’d like to visit. This tour is a must if you wish to cover the majority of Montreal in one day. Moustafa was very personable and accommodating, and I would highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money and time!
