Montreal Walking and Tram Tours

Written by Viator, April 2011

RECOMMENDATION Keywords:

Old Montreal is best explored by foot – there’s no better way to fully appreciate the beautiful buildings and historic charm. On a guided walking tour, a local will lead you around the district, enlightening you about its history and architecture. See Notre Dame Basilica, City Hall, Place Jacques-Cartier, Place d’Armes and Bonsecours Market.

Change it up a bit with a themed walking tour – when walking through a historic district, a ghost tour is the obligatory subject. With your local guide, discover places in Old Montreal that played host to fires, demonstrations, hangings, crimes and mysterious legends, prompting spirits to haunt these sites where they lost their lives. Chase the ghosts of thieves, charlatans and colony-settlers, who lived in the New France days, when danger was a daily part of life.

For the walk-averse, a day of city sightseeing can still be had on the popular converted-tram tour, where you’ll see Old Montreal, as well as Olympic Park and Mount Royal Park.

Doing what: Montreal City Guided Sightseeing Tour

We traveled by train from Ottawa for a day trip to Montreal. This was a fantastic way to see all the highlights Montreal in a very short period of time. The numerous short stops were welcome as I was travelling with my two children. Well worth the money spent.
