Very good morning walk around old Montreal. Good mix of history and current events. Our guide obviously had a great deal of pride in her city and shared that with her guests. She also gave lots of restaurant recommendations and tips on other activities to consider while visiting Montreal.

Martin was an excellent guide! A lot of great background/historical information along with visuals he had with him. We got a souvenir postcard and candy at the end! Recommend doing this tour on your first day here. Also Martin speaks Spanish so was nice to chat a bit with him in our native language.

Our guide, Louise, provided great information about the history of Montreal. As the walk was only 1 kilometer long, it was easy to navigate.
