Not as customized as advertised. Been on many solo tours to learn about a place I’ve never been, but this one did not meet expectations. Didn’t go to the places I’d expected and went where I specifically said I wasn’t interested.

Bernardo was an excellent guide. He was very informative and showed us some very interesting sites with a deep knowledge and enthusiasm. Be sure to request him.
Bernardo planned our tour around our interests, but also taught us new things and took us to some surprising areas we would not have found on our own.
We had an amazing time on our tour around Montreal with Connie. She was knowledgeable about so many aspects of the city, and took us to some unique spots we would never have known to pick out.
Connie was an excellent guide for this tour. She was engaging, very knowledgeable and great company for the 4 hours we spent exploring Old Montréal.
Connie was a wonderful tour guide. She was lovely, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We enjoyed our time with her.
Connie was very knowledgeable about the area, shopping and restaurants. The walk was not too far or difficult in any way.
Watching noodles being made by hand before restaurant was open. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us back to the noodle shop where we had lunch.
My wife and I booked this tour months in advance and were looking forward to starting our vacation with a bang by taking in the popular sites listed in the itinerary of this tour. We waited over 30 minutes at the agreed upon meeting point in the cold but no one showed. No one called. No one texted. After 35 minutes I contacted Viator. They were very helpful. They refunded our money and apologized. They are the only reason I'm giving this experience 2 stars. I totally understand that circumstances arise and there are reasons why someone can't make it. What I definitely don't appreciate is there was no attempt to do us the courtesy of letting us know. The tour may or may not be good, however, we will never know. We were disappointed to have missed out out the opportunity.
We enjoyed using the public transportation and our trip to Chinatown for lunch was nice. I was surprised that The guide did not have the information that we provided to buy a tour regarding our interests.
Private tour was good. Our tour guide was very energetic and friendly, spoke perfect English and French. We were hoping for more historical information of land marks at old Montreal.
Very knowledgeable about area and history. Showed us a bit of everything the city has to offer. Took is to a wonderful crepe restaurant. They were delicious.
Our guide Amardip was very nice! Pleasant,knowledgeable about sights and history of the city. He was very patient, waited for us to stop and rest ,use restrooms or shop.
We had a wonderful visit to Montreal and an excellent guide. Connie is the best. She was funny, very communicative, knowledgeable about the city, and a beautiful person inside and out. We want Connie when we visit Montréal on our next visit.
Connie was a great guide for us. Enjoyed walking around downtown with her, eating at a great Jewish deli, and seeing the view from mont royal. A fun time!
Connie was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable on everything related to Montreal, super friendly and great to spend time with. She even helped me with choosing a beautiful location to propose to my partner. Ask this company to assign Connie as your tour guide, you won’t regret it. God bless you all!!!
Our tour was tailored to exactly what we wanted to see. Our guide was knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We had a wonderful experience.
Enjoyed our time exploring the city with Gabriel, he was a wealth of knowledge and left no stone unturned! Thanks for sharing your city with us! Request him if you go, he was awesome!
Patrick was informative and made fantastic use of our time to show us everything we wanted to see. He has a great sense of humor, and made the day a lot of fun!
The trip never happened. All Viator could do was refund our money. The young lady who accepted this assignment provided a lame excuse and could come later in the day The trip the next day was excellent
Clean and the staff's service is good The food was delicious too.
Nous avons passé un super moment en compagnie de connie, qui a dû parfaitement nous montrer les points clé de la ville chargé d’histoire. C’était une vraie découverte pour nous et je ne peux que recommander l’expérience et le guide en français.
