Walking in winter - tour of old town Montreal - Stacy did a great job showing us around old town Montreal. She spoke about the history and pointed out several good coffee spots and restaurants to try. We tried Chez Suzette for crepes after the tour and went to Pastek for delicious tapas for dinner - thanks for the awesome suggestions. Go for coffee at Crew in an old bank building - very cool.

Perfect chilly Montreal day! - We could not have had a more perfect afternoon with Joann. She was full of knowledge about Montreal and kept everything so interesting. She was even able to keep three teenagers engaged. Thank you so much, Joann, showing us your city!

Perfect quick and informative overview of old town - Pierre was the absolute best! The pace, depth of knowledge (architecture and history, storytelling, connections to restaurants and shop were perfect for us. We were looking for something to give us an appreciation and understanding of the old town in a condensed format for just the two of us. Merci Pierre!

A great way to be introduced to Old Port! - Despite the recent snowfall and less than ideal temps, our tour was fabulous! Frederick (sp?) was a phenomenal guide and took us an interesting walk that (thankfully) included some indoor time! There is so much to see and do in Montreal, and this tour gave us some great ideas for activities during our visit. Highly recommend!
