My favorite tour! - This was my favorite tour during my trip to Montreal! Harald, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and charismatic and made this tour well worth the price. We explored many neighborhoods and sites, and despite the cold, Harald didn't cut any corners. We did the 7 hour tour which took just a bit longer due to the weather, but it was well worth it! Highly recommend this tour, especially for those who don't have much time in Montreal and want to see a little bit of everything with a knowledgeable guide who truly loves his job and the subject matter.

I recommend the Montreal Intercultural City Tour - I love the customer service offered by Mounir of NTours. The original Montreal Night Tour we had reserved was cancelled because there weren't enough participants. He offered to change our reservation to the Montreal Intercultural City Tour. We lucked out! It was not only a great, informative tour, but our guide - Harald - was fun and knowledgeable. There were only five of us in this small group tour, which offered a unique personalized experience.

AMAZING TOUR-Made Lemonade from Lemons - During our afternoon tour of Montreal, there was an torrential downpour in the city. David, our tour guide, was able to change the itinerary to defeat the weather. Less walking, more riding. While highly knowledgeable, he was also entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Intro to Montreal - Our guide, Mounir, was so competent, interesting and full of information. We asked to get a feel for this beautiful city and he really delivered! From the Oratory to Expo, Chinatown to Little Italy, delicious bagels to the Underground, we saw it all. Lots of history, current events, insights, he was a wonderful guide and driver. Thank you!

Highly recommended - There was only one other couple, so we got to ask a lot of questions. The tour guide was friendly and informative and took us to the sites we were interested in. He had a little step stool for helping us in and out of the van and offered us each a bottle of water. It was a good mix of walking and riding in the van. It was interesting to see and learn about the different ethnic neighborhoods and other areas of the city (Mile End, LePlatea, the Underground,etc). At the end of the tour he offered to drop us off as close to possible to the areas we wanted to revisit. Highly recommended. I would recommend that the guide clean the windows of the van. Ordinarily I wouldn’t mind, but this is a sightseeing tour. So for that reason I would rate him a 4.5.

Awesome Tour Guide Loved Visiting Neighborhoods but Very Pricey! - My tour guide was just awesome. He communicated with everyone well and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him, he seems very knowledgeable about the city. I wish we had seen more of the Underground, everything else was fine but the tour itself is very pricey for what you get. I would recommend more reasonable options that are similar to this tour.
