This visit around the Montreal Olympic Park is very interesting because Marc Elie guides you through the important steps that made these games possible in Montreal in 1976. He adapts his speech and anecdotes perfectly to his audience (adults, teenagers, or children) so that everyone can benefit. We had a great time with a sports history enthusiast and lover of his city!
Amazing experience!

Absolutely fantastic experience touring the Olympic Stadium in Montreal with Marc! He’s an incredibly knowledgeable guide with a deep passion for the history of the stadium and its role in the city. Marc’s friendly and welcoming demeanor made the tour not only informative but also genuinely enjoyable. You could tell he loves what he does! The best part? The cost was super affordable—truly a hidden gem among local tours. If you’re looking to explore the Olympic Stadium and learn about its fascinating past without breaking the bank, Marc’s tour is well worth every penny. Highly recommend!
