Explore markets, where growers, butchers, and fishmongers display their best produce.

Great Tour and Guide!

5.00We booked 8 hours with Fiona. She was very flexible and accommodating with what we wanted to see. She adjusted based on our requests and was very conscientious about our pace. She communicated with me ahead of time and had great recommendations for us and showed us some things we would never had found or known about on our own!
A super memorable city tour with Connie the tour guide.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Connie the tour guide. Connie is very knowledgeable about the city, she's very funny, super flexible, willing to do what ever it takes to accommodate her guests. She constantly communicates with us, before and after the tour. We can NOT say enough good words about her. Connie made our Montreal city tour very memorable. We highly recommend her !!!!! We were able to get a very good taste of Montreal in this tour. Izzy & Vicky- Miami, Florida.

5.00We travel a great deal and enjoy seeing a new city with a local guide. Pierre was an excellent guide, to walk us through old down town. He gave practical knowledge about his city and information on parking. He coordinated the timing of our tour to both our schedules. He thoughtfully reserved us a table at a rooftop restaurant after the tour.
