We start our Montréal walking tour by skipping the line at the Notre-Dame Basilica before wandering Vieux-Montréal. We’ll pop into some historic and architecturally gems to get an understanding of the district before heading out and leaving the tourist crowds behind.
We stroll through a segment of our interior or underground city. It’s the largest indoor network on the planet and lets us make our way to Chinatown for a quick snack as we get the skinny on the area.
Then it’s off to our old Red Light District, turned entertainment Mecca to see where the biggest festivals take place. We pop into a whacky often missed institution for a visit. Up Saint-Laurent boulevard, we check out half a dozen impressive works of art from Montréal’s MURAL Festival in the borough that is home to the highest concentration of artists in Canada.
With a coffee from a local third wave shop in hand we walk the hip parts of the lower Main before leaving you with a custom list of recommendations!!

Engaging and educational tour. Pax was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable of the city and various neighborhoods. Well paced and a great tour for folks who have a shorter stay or at the beginning of their trip to get ideas for the rest of their stay. Highly recommend!

Good variety, Pax was a great guide. I liked that things moved along and we got to go into the Basilica. The history and the underground park of the city were interesting.

Jeff our tour guide was excellent. He taught us so much without going overboard. I loved the fact that he recapped what we saw at the end of the tour.

Rod is a wonderful guide. Always willing to answer questions and so knowledgeable! This tour was a bit off the beaten path and very non-touristy. We visited places I’d read about but had not seen before. A great unexpected treat!
