Our guide was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We saw the whole city from every side in a half day. It was truly the best way to see the city and get the lay of the land. Highly recommended.
A Wonderful way to Learn about Montreal in a Short Time

This was a wonderful way to learn about Montreal in a short time. The driver, Christian, was attentive to our interests and requests. We saw many beautiful places such as the Beaver Lake (Lac aux Castors) located on Mount Royal, a view of a topiary from the Botanical Gardens, the architect of the casino, and even the Formula One race track Christian told stories that helped bring the rich history to life for us. We visited the inside of the lovely Notre Dame de Bon Secours Chapel. Because of this tantalizing tour of the city, we hope to return when we can spend more time to explore. Very good value. I recommend this as a customized way to learn about the city.

Friendly driver/guide with beautiful clean SUV. He took us the most beautiful places on the tourist list and then to the surrounding neighborhoods for some extraordinary views. And we drove the F1 track.

Pierrot provided us a generous half day tour of the city. He is very knowledgeable about Montreal and was very kind. We would have enjoyed a deeper dive into history and government structure/uniqueness to Montreal and Quebec.
La vie est un voyage. Profitez de la visite.

If you are looking for an in depth, narrated, educated tour of Montreal, this would be a perfect experience for you and/or your party. Pierrot, the guide, gave historical insight, offered dining recommendations, took me through a tour of beautiful neighborhoods and waited patiently as I toured a beautiful chapel. My trip, though solo, was comprehensive and personable. Well worth the time. Was relieved my weak French was not tested at the end. Highly recommend ps…Bonus points given if you recognize the artist on the mural.
