I was in Montreal in December during a two day snow storm ( it was beautiful really ) so my private tour by car was especially nice !! My guide knew so much about the city and every food stop was amazing ( bagels especially ) and coffee too !! I highly recommend this tour .. if like me ..you prefer to avoid the general public .. something more private ..you will have a great time. !!
Very professional,...

Kian is an amazing guide! This was our first trip to Montreal. Kian’s itinerary was perfect and took us to locations and neighborhoods we never would have seen otherwise. His knowledge of the city is extensive and personal, making each stop that much more interesting. We were willing to get out, walk, and explore with Kian and this made the tour that much better and unique. This tour, and Kian’s recommendations of other sites, restaurants, etc., left a lasting impression of the city. This is truly a great way to see the city!
A Must!

What a wonderful and educational day! Kian introduced us to the many must-see highlights (and secret wonders!) of Montréal. His kindness and knowledge of this city was so appreciated. We highly recommend this experience to other first time visitors to Montréal.

Montreal by Car with Kian was a great choice for our first day in Montreal. Since a walking tour wasn't an option for us, this car-tour was perfect (and included so much more). In addition to telling stories and relating history, Kian learned about our interests and tailored the tour on-the-go, We often stopped to see inside buildings and to take pictures. Kian's enthusiasm, engagement, and knowledge made a great afternoon for us.

This was hands-down one of the best tours we’ve taken in years! The pace was perfectly relaxed - we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to see everything on our list. Traveling in a fully electric vehicle added that wonderful eco-friendly bonus while exploring Montreal, which made the whole day feel even better. Our guide’s deep knowledge and genuinely fun insights into every neighborhood we visited were exceptional. The stories, history, and little-known details turned a great tour into an absolutely unforgettable, out-of-this-world experience. Highly recommend!

Kian is friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. His tour laid out the things I wanted to go back to and spend more time while assuring that I saw the highlights of the city and surrounding neighborhoods. I especially enjoyed the walks on Mount Royal and the sculpture garden on on of the islands as well as sampling the bagel from Fairmount in the old Jewish neighborhood—nothing like the New York bagels we get in the states! I’ve put his contact info in my phone to recommend to friends and use him when we’re back in Montreal. You can’t go wrong with this tour!
