Great way to learn about Montreal and its underground! - I really enjoyed the tour. Silvia our guide was so knowledgeable and the tour was so well organized. The underground areas we explored were a surprise—well lit busy passages filled with stores and public artworks. We learned about their connection to above ground areas, their history, and how to navigate them. I am looking forward to exploring Montreal above and below ground further now that I have the context Silvia provided! Many thanks!

Great Underground!! - Best ever. This lady was energetic and knew everything about the history, the whys, from the past and where it is going in the future. The project is truly one of a kind. I believe Katherine was her name.

Interesting, well run tour of down town Montreal and the underground tunnels - my wife and I as well as two friends went on this tour by MYL Detours of downtown Montreal and the underground at the end of September. The tour was very well done and quite organized. The tour guide was english speaking and did an excellent job. It’s not an exciting tour as the underground is basically malls under the buildings connected by many tunnels but is interesting to walk through and hear about its origin and development. We obtained this tour through Viator which has always done a very good job for us.

Downtown Montreal as seen from the street and it’s underground, it’s not what you’re thinking! - We were not sure what to expect. Darren guided us through downtown Montréal. Above ground and through the underground part of the city. We traveled many blocks during the tour, however it didn’t seem that way. Darren kept us so interested in the history, the distance didn’t matter. We wished we could have taken the tour at the start of our trip and not the last day. There is so much more to see in Montreal! Highly recommend this tour!
