Christmas traditions in Montreal. - Our guide Dave was knowledgeable and interesting. He gave us wonderful history and tidbits about Montréal and Christmas traditions in his city. We walked through beautiful areas with lights and he encouraged us to see certain areas no included in this tour. Christmas walking tour was a lot of fun and a great way to get in the spirit!
