Amazing tour! I would recommend to everyone! - We loved our tour with AJ! She was well-informed and excited to share Montreal Jewish history with us. The tour was well-paced, with stops at sites of interest. AJ responded to our questions with enthusiasm, and what a treat to hear a quote from a distant family member! We recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about Jewish history in Montreal in an engaging way for people of all ages.

A highlight of our trip! - This tour was the highlight of our weekend in Montreal! Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, and our small group of 8 people had a lot to discuss as we walked from site to site. Really enjoyed learning some of this unique history.

Fun, informative tour - This was an informative and fun tour! I really liked our guide and left with a lot more knowledge of Jewish history in Montreal. It was especially beautiful with the fall foliage! There were about 10 people on our tour, some from out of town and some from Montreal.

Knowledgeable guide - Guide was very knowledgeable. The tour group was too large and it made it difficult to hear her some of the time. There is not a lot of walking.

Interesting subject matter - Very informative, and interesting to compare to today vs old. The tour wasn’t as engaging as hoped, and seemed to be a memorized monologue.
