You’ll definitely get to know Montreal with Harald as your guide - Our tour guide Harald was the highlight of our tour due to his knowledge & personalty! We saw
all of the standard recommended sites PLUS many recommendations from Harald along the way of places to see, shop and dine.
Our pick-up and drop-off were a convenient 1 block from our hotel, and the car was spotless. The tour began and ended right on time.
Harald is an A+ guide for Viator, a top-of-the-line company.

A Perfect Afternoon in Montreal - It was a lovely tour. In 3 hours we saw so much of the city and we were given insights into the history and various neighborhoods. Mounir offered a wealth of information as he drove us around the city. He always found the prefect spot to let us out for a photo. The small group allowed for Q & A. I would highly recommend this tour.

Interesting but too much history not enough Of viewing city. - The ride across Mont Royal, the cookies provided by our kind guide. It would be nicer to point out each area and not up and down the same few blocks. We missed where Chinatown was, also an Italian area with restaurants. Not so much about the history of the stone buildings. The time at Oratory would be better spent touring neighborhoods - a passing view would be enough for our 1st visit.
