5.00The Underground Tour was fascinating in that we heard how Montreal connected buildings, transportation and businesses underground in order to enhance the experience of living in Montreal. And to escape the weather. We walked thru various tunnels while also hearing about the economical impact these tunnels provided to Montreal. Great your!
