Nice experience!
Christine_H, Apr 2025
Our guide was quite knowledgeable and the experience went smoothly. There’s a lot of walking so be in shape.
A tour that lives up to its non-touristy name.

I really enjoyed this small group tour. It seemed to touch on Montreal history, architecture, culture, and neighborhoods. In addition to the areas and neighborhoods covered in the tour, our tour guide Danny provided insights into Montreal‘s culture and development. At the end of the tour, we were also given recommendations for other places to visit and restaurants to try. I truly appreciated learning about Montreal, but also learning that Montreal is a place that’s welcoming to self exploration. I highly recommend this interesting and sometimes quirky tour.
Great Little Tour

Great tour with a little bit of everything. A little history, a little fun, a little food & drink. This tour had something for everyone. Family friendly…my 11, 14, & 18 year old kids all enjoyed it as well. So many things that we would have walked right by & never known was even there or why it’s significant. Danny was so personable and made a point to chat with everyone. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fun introduction to the many things Montreal has to offer.
Good choice for thoughtful guidance

Nice mix! Liked the combination of indoors and outdoors, historical and current information. Enjoyed the snack in Chinatown and enjoyed the coffee. Our group was small (7) and as we passed by other, larger tour groups I thought those people looked bored! I felt smug for picking this more dynamic option for my group (ages 12-75+). Our guide was Gabriella and she was very professional, personable, and on point!
