Richard was Great!!! We had a great time as he showed us and explained all the magnificent sights in downtown Montreal.

Entertaining and worth the time

Richard_L, Aug 2022

Overall this was a hood tour and we saw a lot. I enjoyed the stop and chance to look around notre dame. There was some really nice history shared. My only concern is some of it was wrong….the American colonies were not french in the 1760’s….if they were, the usa fought and defeated the wrong country for independence. I know it must be hard to get the sound right in the motor coach for everyone to hear but it was defeaning.

Mohammad_D, Jul 2022

Great tour expertly guided. Enjoyed the short stops and learning about the Montreal history/sites throughout the tour. Our guide greeted every guest and used it to learn about them and point the similarities between Montreal and some cities from which guests had come.

Highly recommend

Mala_S, Jul 2022

Norman was a fantastic tour guide with great knowledge and recommendations. I had sciatica and couldn’t walk a lot and this was perfect for me with a few stops and short walks and the rest on the bus. Plus a great overview of the whole city in a few hours.

Great Tour and Great Guide

Amy_Y, Jul 2022

Our tour guide, Norman, was great. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He and my husband were bantering back and forth about hockey teams, which made it even more entertaining for my husband. We passed/stopped by all of the major places in Montreal and I felt like we were given quite a bit of history about the city. Norman also gave recommendations on where to shop and eat in Old Montreal. Great tour and worth the money.

Perfect and nice tour...

This is an excellent way to see Montreal and all it has to offer. Richard (guide) and Frank(driver) made a dynamic duo in ensuring the tour was comprehensive. Informative and safe.

Great when you want an overview of the city. We saw so much in a short time. We couldn’t have done it otherwise. Thanks!

Good tour - recommended

David_S, Jul 2022

Very excellent tour. The guide was very good and we saw most of the city. I would have liked more stops where we could get off the bus and explore. But otherwise a very good experience.

Excellent tour!
