Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide - We went on the mural walking tour around Little Portugal with Pascoal. He is a very mindful guide; it was a cold day and he had extra gloves for one of the guests to borrow. He also took us to a cafe for hot drinks, and at the end showed us where to get the best custard tarts. On the mural tour he provided information about the artists and the annual mural festival. He clearly loves Montreal, and his enthusiasm for the art and the neighborhood radiated to our group. Btw on Google Maps it looks like there are two listings for Spade & Palacio Tours and we were confused about which location to meet the group.

Great Tour! - In spite of the cold and snowy day, we had an awesome tour with Gabriella! She was incredibly knowledgeable and let us take a break for hot chocolate! Spade and Palacio tours are a “must do” if you are in Montreal! Thanks S & P and Gabriella!

A street art tour on steroids - What a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours in Montreal. Although you could see the main murals just by walking up the street, the tour really brings them to life, with stories about their creation, the background of the artists and what the different imagery means. The tour also shows you the hidden gems, down alleyways and behind buildings which you would not find or even notice yourself. Tiny little figurines of sad looking men perched above drainpipes, cat paw impressions in the bricks of buildings and a host of other wonderful things - if you want to see them all you need to do the tour! Our guide Danny was fantastic - passionate, knowledgeable and very entertaining. This tour is a must-do for any art-loving Montreal visitor.
