Great Personalized Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide Stacy was very personable , helpful and knowledgable. She tailored the tour by giving points of reference to our hotel and background.

Great tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Pierre was a fantastic tour guide! He gave us lots of interesting history as well as restaurant tips, scheduled inside stops to get breaks from the cold and even showed us how to use the metro when our tour was over! Highly recommend!

Our tour with Pierre was the best part of Montreal!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our family of four arrived slightly late, desperate for coffee, and with an injured party member. Pierre wasted no time in making us feel comfortable and welcome. He tailored the tour to our needs, answered every one of our endless questions, and provided unmatched insight into the city. One thing I observed on the tour told me all I needed to know about our guide: I've done a lot of walking tours, and I've never seen one where all of the locals knew and respected our guide as much as the locals respected Pierre. He's clearly a valued member of the community, which made the tour all the more fun. At the beginning of the day, all four of us were skeptical about a walking tour of Montreal in the -5°C weather. By the end, we all agreed it was the highlight. Thank you so much!

Amazing walking tour! We learned so much!

Published on Nov, 2024

We loved this tour! Frederic was an amazing tour guide. Interesting, informed, friendly and spoke perfect English! We were very happy about it!

Great - do it!

Published on Nov, 2024

Frederick was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and kept the tour fun and interesting for a 12 and 7 year old.
