5.00Our guide Dave was knowledgeable and interesting. He gave us wonderful history and tidbits about Montréal and Christmas traditions in his city. We walked through beautiful areas with lights and he encouraged us to see certain areas no included in this tour. Christmas walking tour was a lot of fun and a great way to get in the spirit!

4.00Lovely lighting for the holidays on so many buildings- I would like to go for a more historical tour; to learn about the old buildings and have an opportunity to enter them….if possible.
A very nice evening

5.00We did this family tour during the holidays, it was one of the only activities allowed due to the health restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The guide was passionate, generous and very interesting. A great way to learn about our city, even for Montrealers!
Fun and interesting

5.00We loved our walking tour of Old Montreal...we saw things we would have never come upon, noticed, or visited...and our guide, Pierre, was great and patient with us... we learned to dress very much for the conditions outside as it is mostly outside... we'd definitely recommend it!
