Walk Old Montreal with guides such as Louise, Amelie, Darren, Elise, and Silvia. In two hours, you’ll cover major squares, streets, churches, banks, and civic buildings, hear lively stories about the city, and receive food and shopping tips, a paper guide, and a maple treat.

“Louise was passionate and knowledgeable about Montreal and its unique culture. The tour is only 2 hours, and she provided a succinct overview and we were able to cover quite a bit of ground during this time. She gave many suggestions for places to come back to later when one has more time to spend there. Another great touch from this tour company is the list of restaurants and shops, museums, etc. they provided for recommendations. Finally at the end, they also provided a nice sample of maple candy.”

The tour had many stops/pauses for stories and opportunities for photos. Fredrick was pleasant and open to questions. I would recommend this tour if you are looking for a casual and relaxing guided…”

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.”
