As the only licensed Montreal expert guide, woman of colour in the province of Québec. I will take you through the discovery of Montreal's Historical Black history from the 1600s to the present. My 25+years of knowledge, experience , research will be shared about Montreal's unique black history, Jazz history, the period of prohibition, the role of the railway in the story. I began giving Black history, Jazz and neighbourhood tours in 1997.

Only guests and their own party will be on the tour

The pace will be adjusted to guest pace, it's a leisurely tour

As a private tour, guests have full access to their guide during 2 hours

I will provide guides with suggested reading material if interested, activities, recommendations on places to eat

Compliments well with my two Old Montreal Walking Tours where we can continue the discussion and discovery of Montreal's Black heritage.

    We recommend spending time with Ruby Roy while you visit Montreal. She took my family of four on a great tour and we learned about jazz and Montreal culture. We selected this topic as the focus of our tour. She does other types of tours and will tailor it to your interests. She knows the best places for all types of foods and ice cream! She introduced us to a fabulous market where I enjoyed the best Pad Thai of my life. Our tour with Ruby was a vacation highlight.!
