Despite the recent snowfall and less than ideal temps, our tour was fabulous! Frederick (sp?) was a phenomenal guide and took us an interesting walk that (thankfully) included some indoor time! There is so much to see and do in Montreal, and this tour gave us some great ideas for activities during our visit. Highly recommend!
Great tour!

Five stars for this tour. Andre was an excellent guide. This was a private tour and we would definitely recommend it. He asked us what we wanted to see and tailored the tour to our wishes. It was an excellent introduction to the city and its history.
