The travel guide was very knowledgeable, and the trip was worthwhile. I would recommend it to my friends.

It was a great way to get an introduction to Montreal. This made the rest of the trip much better.

Staff seemed a little confused about the hop on hop off situation.

I scheduled the hop on hop off tour, but when I arrived the guide insisted that I would be better served by the 3 hr "stay on the bus except for a few stops" tour probably because it was misting. Because I like to take photos not through a bus window, this wasn't the best solution for me, and of course it turned out to be a dry day. Oh well.

The hop-on hop-off Montreal city tour was very good however I found that it didn't cover as many stops as I would have liked. For example, there was no stop in the Latin Quarter where I was staying, so I had to get to Downtown to get the bus. As the Latin Quarter is a very touristy area I would have assumed that there would have been a stop in this area. Furthermore, the ticket is only valid until around 3pm which does not allow you to spend much time at each destination before having to get back on again if you wish to see everything. We have been on a hop-on hop-off bus trip in Singapore and there was a bus leaving every half hour from 9am to 10pm and around 12-15 stops as compared to the 6 stops on this trip. The Montreal trip however does give a lot of interesting information on the city and does help orient you especially if you only have limited time in the city.

Unfortunately, the day we took the hop-on, hop-off tour, it rained most of the day and we were unable to enjoy the tour on the top deck of the "red bus." Can't see nearly so much from the inside. Guides were generally very good. Fortunately, we found the story of the Underground under Christ Church Cathedral at Rue St. Catherine, which made this stop worthwhile, but we benefitted from only four stops of eight. Were we to choose again, I think we'd choose a more inclusive tour if it stopped at the cathedral, the Oratory and Mount Royal Park. Thanks.

They do not answer calls, the hop on hop off did not happen because of a parade but no advance notice was given, so difficult to get hold of anybody!!!!

There is so much to see and do in Montreal that the time frame of the tour was somewhat limited. I would have preferred the start time to have been say 8 a.m. up a last bus at again say 8 p.m. We have done similar tours in many towns in the UK and US and Canada where longer hours are in force. In New York you can also buy a ticket which valid for 2 days, which would have been useful here. However, all in all we enjoyed our in spite of the weather. The guides themselves were divers but excellent.

The tour guide should have told us that on Sunday we could not get into the Notre Dame church in the morning. They let us off, we had to stand around for an hour before we could get the bus again. The older gentlemen was unconcerned and did not care after we told him. He was not as informative as the young man on the second bus.

The idea of the trip is a great one to get an overview of Montreal while being able to "hop-off" at a any spot and resume the tour later. However, in reality, on good days it can be very tough to get a seat on the top of the bus. If you don't, expect a long day with limited visibility from the bottom of the bus.

We were told that we were going to be picked up at 9:15, but we were not picked up until 10:15 after we made several phone calls. Other than that, it was good.

This was not a hop on hop off as it is done in many cities we have traveled to. Just a continuous ride around town.

It was terrible. We stayed on the bus because, if we got off, we never would have gotten another seat. Lines, pushing, etc. Never again!
