“I was so impressed that our guide Priscillia contacted me a week before our trip to introduce herself and find out what we wanted for our tour. She met us at our hotel (very convenient) and fine tuned the tour to us. She was extremely organized, knowledgeable and entertaining.... delivering the tour with a beautiful smile and great enthusiasm on a very cold morning. She made recommendations for restaurants, shopping and points of interest and taught us how to get around on the metro by ourselves. The next time we're in Montreal we will definitely request her and I have already recommended Priscillia and your company to friends & family.”
