Worth doing. Even if you do not want to complete the tour, you have the option to get off the bus and have the driver to pick you up later. In addition, you get a 3 day pass to ride the bus again.

There was a lot of snow, but that didn't bother the driver. He gave us a lot of detail to where we visited and made an excellent and funny courier well worth the money.

Courteous and knowledgeable guide, but giving the info in two languages took so much time we were past many sites before we learned about them.

We had a great time on the tour and covered spots we would not have found on our own. For example, an unexpected bell chime concert at St. Joseph's Oratory! Fantastic!

The tour guide made jokes which were not even funny. He should have stuck more with telling the history of the places we visited. I didn't know if what he was saying was a joke or the truth.

A large coach bus was used instead of the advertised vehicle and every seat was sold, so our party of four could not even sit together. The first stop was 25 minute stop at a cathedral which required an additional 5 entrance fee. There was little else to see if you didn't want to spend the extra money. Although the tour guide spoke clearly, he was a senior who shared sometimes inappropriate humour. A smaller vehicle, along with more historical narrative and some guided tours of the interior of some historical buildings would have made it more interesting.

They need a better tour guide.

There was no tram, just a gray line coach. Too much detailed information about irrelevant issues concerning Montreal. Not enough stops to take photos. Would have been better to concentrate on 1-2 specific stops. But OK for an overview of the city. And you need to go in summer, the weather in April was terrible.

It was good to see around this vibrant and interesting city. The driver was very interesting but difficult to understand - English was not his language! He was obsessed with food - handy if you wanted to know the best places to eat, but you couldn't help feeling that there was more to the place than restaurants. The driver of the hotel pickup bus was actually more informative and would have been better value for money. It was a trip that was definitely worth doing, but one that could have been a lot better.

Entertaining tour guide/driver, but he spoke too fast and said more in French than in English. Enjoyed seeing the sights of beautiful Montreal, even in the rain.

Due to the time constraint, we were in hurry all the time. In addition, we did not know where we were going. I wish the tour company had a map indicating all destinations. The trip was O.K., Montreal is not a big city. So I think self-tour may be better if you have time.

The guide was not punctual, and the tour was very superficial in some points.

For such a short time we spent a lot of time cooped up on the bus. Could have limited a couple of the less interesting stops to increase time available to see other things.

I thought the guide spoke too fast, and was hard to understand.

Bus picked us from hotel, took us to the meeting point. The tour was ok, basically it drove around showing different places, stopping for a few minutes for pictures. Do not really recommend it.
