5.00This was an informative and fun tour! I really liked our guide and left with a lot more knowledge of Jewish history in Montreal. It was especially beautiful with the fall foliage! There were about 10 people on our tour, some from out of town and some from Montreal.

4.00Guide was very knowledgeable. The tour group was too large and it made it difficult to hear her some of the time. There is not a lot of walking.
Excellent tour !

4.00Very informative, and interesting to compare to today vs old. The tour wasn’t as engaging as hoped, and seemed to be a memorized monologue.
Friendly and knowledgable...
