Seven Hours and So Much to See - What a better way to learn about a new city than a full day tour. Our tour guide Fran was such a trooper navigating snow and ice to ensure we had an awesome and very educational tour of Montreal. From the heights of Mount Royal Park, to the various ethnic neighborhoods, to Old Montreal-Our tour was packed with historical information, a few foodie stops, plenty of time to enjoy lunch and stroll Old Montreal, and end the day at the beautiful St. Joseph's Oratory. Well worth the reasonable price for an awesome tour guide and so many sights seen in one day. I felt like a local after the tour and it made the rest of my stay in Montreal that much more enjoyable.

A Daylong Adventure of Montreal's Rich Heritage and Delectable Delights - From start to finish, the tour was a seamless blend of historical immersion, culinary discovery, and, above all, the expertise of our fantastic guide, Fran.
Fran's professionalism and passion for Montreal were evident from the moment she picked us up. Her deep knowledge of the city's history transformed the tour into a captivating journey through time. Her enthusiasm for sharing the stories of Montreal's past and present added a layer of richness to each stop.
As we traversed the city, Fran's commitment to ensuring a well-rounded experience became apparent. The tour was thoughtfully organized, allowing for a break around lunchtime. This pause not only provided an opportunity to refuel but also allowed us to explore local eateries and shop for souvenirs, enhancing the overall experience.
The local taste exploration was a gastronomic adventure that unfolded in multiple chapters, each more delectable than the last. From the sweetness of maple to the chewy goodness of bagels, Fran curated a culinary journey that showcased Montreal's diverse flavors.
The tour's informative nature was complemented by Fran's friendly demeanor, making it easy for the group to engage and ask questions. It felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend who was just as excited about Montreal as we were.
By the end of the day, we had not only tasted the essence of Montreal but also gained a profound understanding of its cultural tapestry. Highly recommended!
