We had a great time on this tour. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Montreal’s history and culture. It felt much more like exploring the city with a local than a scripted tour. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of Montreal and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an informative and engaging experience.

What a great experience. Walking this area at night brought out the true feeling of the neighborhoods. Christian was a great host who not only knows history very well but is passionate about his city. He took us to some great local spots which made the experience that much more enjoyable.
