Additional Information
Our walking tours provide a unique experience that goes beyond typical historical outings, immersing you in the city through the lens of a local. The intention is to make the journey as much about the connections you make as it is about the locations you visit. Our city enthusiasts (Lokafyers) can’t wait to share their city’s secrets and viewpoints. Since Lokafyers aren’t regular guides and only conduct tours occasionally, they offer a truly authentic and personal experience, akin to a friend guiding you. By the conclusion of the tour, you’ll be adept at finding your way around the city, feeling confident that you have all the necessary knowledge to fully enjoy your trip.

Best tour ever! - Carlos was very personable and very knowledgeable. We walked through a considerable amount of Montreal and thoroughly throughout old Montreal. It was quite an excursion and we would definitely definitely do this again!

Montreal Tour with Guide Carlos - Carlos gave us a spectacular tour, starting in old Montreal and working our way into the city and then to the underground city. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Montreal and brought us to key locations where he was able to explain so much about the origination of Montreal and all the changes it went through since it’s origination. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide to show us around this spectacular city!

Fantastic local guide ! - Our guide was fantastic! He showed us the most interesting parts of Montreal.
We only had one day to visit the city and by having a local Guide we were able to cover a lot of area and obtain interesting information about the places we visited .
It was a wonderful experience and more enriching than if we would’ve just wandered around on our own . It was like having a friend in Montreal!

A tour that allows you to discover and delve into historic and modern Montreal. - Very good experience. Carlos, our guide, was punctual, very friendly and always had a very interesting conversation. The places visited, the time of the tour, the anecdotes and doing it on foot, allowed us to know and delve into the history and current life of Montreal. Highly recommended!

Nice Walk through Old Montreal. - Daniel, our guide was flexible on our pick up location and ended the tour with the piece of the Berlin Wall located outside our hotel. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We would have enjoyed a bit of shopping time added in.

Double Decker Hop-On Hop-Off Tour (Red Loop) in MONTREAL - The Montreal hop on hop off is with a guide in French or English
We were lucky that we had a loving guide who insisted on doing a third translation in Spanish, which greatly earned our tip. Then we took another bus and they didn't translate anything into Spanish.
