Great smaller sized walking tour!

5.00Silvia was a great tour guide, full of interesting facts about Montreal. Nice way to begin our trip. We were a smaller group...saw a group that looked twice our size or more, so appreciated our group size. FYI: We got to our meeting spot exactly at the start time, not the 15 minutes before, as recommended. Allow extra time to get there - Montreal traffic is no joke! Tons of construction everywhere!
This is an excellent...

5.00This is an excellent tour! Our guide, Caroline, was extremely engaging, and knows Montreal's history very well. She is an excellent communicator, friendly, funny and dynamic. I highly recommend this walking tour. As an aside, I worked for many years in tourism, have delivered many tours myself and I've trained guides. Caroline ticks all the boxes - knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and interesting. If you have time, take the guided walking tour. If you don't have time, make some.
Vibrant Montreal

5.00Our tour guide "Kathleen"? was as vibrant as the city she walked us through. She was knowledgeable, funny and kept us entertained as she showed us this historic city of Montreal!
Great overview of old Montreal and the city itself.

5.00Elise was our guide and she was wonderful! We got to go all the way around old Montreal. We started out in front of Notre Dame and ended up in the shopping area near the Ferris wheel. She was very flexible and encouraged questions. We did this our first day and I’m glad we did because it really gave us an overview of what there was to do in the city to plan what we wanted to do next. She even gave a list of restaurants she recommended and must do’s ar the end of the tour. It was wonderful.
Excellent Tour Operator
