A GREAT introduction to Montreal!!

christophermS9720WW, Mar 2025

It was snowing the morning we left. We were slightly worried that it might affect things, but our tour guide showed up as expected, and the tour proceeded as promised. She was both knowledgeable, humorous, and accommodating. She actually went beyond the allotted time because she wanted to show us more, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a first time visitor to Montreal, or to locals who have never done it because there is a lot to learn.

Bonjour, A little snow only adds to the charm of discovering Montréal, don’t you think? ❄️ We're so glad to hear that your guide made the experience not only seamless but also extra special with their enthusiasm and dedication! Going beyond the allotted time just shows how much we love sharing the city's stories. Merci for your kind words and for recommending us—we'd love to welcome you again, no matter the season! Kind regards, The Guidatour Team

Great & easy walking tour of Montreal

Allyson_W, Mar 2025

We really enjoyed this tour. Tour guide gave a good mix of knowledge (business, history, religious, etc). Some of the tour was inside to warm up in the winter so it was a good balance. Our tour guide was also easy to talk too and good company. Tour took just over two hours.
