5.00The tour guide was excellent he would constantly point out sites and our tour guide/driver gave us much information about Montreal, Quebec and Canada in general. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip far more enjoyable than just driving past the sites. He also went with us when we went to St. Joseph’s Oratory ,to the farmers market to the bagel store he was with us. I would highly recommend him. This was so much easier and far more enjoyable of the trying to navigate all of this by myself.
Great Way to See More of Montreal in a Day

5.00From the pick up at our hotel to the drop off back at our hotel, the full-day tour was great. The driver/guide was clear and informative. He used a mic when the van was full so everyone could hear him. He made sure that I was able to safely exit and enter the van at each stop. The van was comfortable and it had a higher roof so taller people did not have to hunch over. It was so nice to be in a small group. We not only saw major sights, we also saw multiple neighborhoods/cities on Montreal island. I got a real feel for greater Montreal. We heard about the history from the earliest settlement by missionaries through the changes in the last century. Several stops were photo stops but I felt that we had ample time everywhere that we went. I really enjoyed the bagel that we got at a famous local bagel shop and all the yummy maple syrup samples at the farmers market. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a lot of Montreal in comfort with a knowledgeable guide.
Great way to see Montreal!

5.00Our guide gave us a wonderful and thorough tour of Montreal. He knew so much about the city and all of the various areas in the city. I like that it was a small group tour. We packed a lot of sightseeing in to a 7 hour tour.
Great way to see Montreal in a day!

5.00The tour is well structured between driving around various neighborhoods and walking and exploring them. Fran was a great guide/driver. We learned a lot, got to try local bagel and maple syrup delicacies. Lunch break was near the Notre dame, while entry isnt included, highly recommend doing it. Its worth paying the entrance fee, and there is still enough time to get some lunch after. Highly recommend the tour.
Best way to learn Montreal in one day

5.00A great way to get an overview of the city, its major sites and the various neighborhoods. We were in a small van with 7 people which made it easy to see and hear the tour guide. Fran (Francoise ) was our guide- friendly, easy to understand and full of relevant and useful information.
We had a wonderful day learning about the city of Montreal! Our guide was fantastic, friendly and fun!

5.00Would highly recommended the tour!
A beautiful city with a variety of architectural features from the 1600’s to now

5.00The full day was so much better than just a half day tour. We got to experience more of the real side of Montreal besides the normal tourist sites. Half of our group only did the morning tour and the rest of us stayed on after lunch and got to see all the many different neighborhoods of Montreal. Our tour guide Fran was such a delightful person and truly loved her city.
