History of Montreal - Organization and friend staff. Guide: She arrived on time of not early, and was very friendly and happy. She had a lot of knowledge about a lot of places. She also wanted to make sure we were ok before she left. I’m also very happy she was ok for taking my photo spice I was by my self. This is a walking so I would advise people to wear walking shoes and dress for the weather. A good hint is to go to the washroom before you start but you have spots on the walk if you need to go. If you in Montreal and you want a place for history I would suggest doing it.

Highlight of our stay in Montreal!! - The Old Montreal Tour with Anna-Louise was just incredible! Anna was a wealth of knowledge. And she was so wonderful to stop at places where we were standing or sitting in the warm sun (it was a chilly, windy day). We started the tour by meeting her in a lovely historic hotel (Hôtel William Gray), where we enjoyed a wonderful warm Italian caffè and hot chocolate. The tour was almost entirely flat—an effortless walk. There was plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. Ending around lunch, Anna recommended a restaurant that was a perfect way to end the beautiful morning!

Quebec - Insightful & only about 5000 steps - Very engaging - learned a lot about Quebec and Montreal. Jeff was engaging. For anyone needing a limited walking tour this is perfect. The Old town is pretty small so very doable for nearly everyone.

Fabulous walking tour of Old Montreal!!! - What a fabulous walking tour!! We may have been crazy to proceed in 4 degrees F, but it was great. Our tour guide came prepared with extra gloves and hand warmers. Jeff was so knowledgeable and personable. It was fun and we learned so much. Highly recommend! Our 11 & 13 year old had fun too.

He was super relatable and professional at the same time. Gave us recommendations for dining and fun after the tour was over. More than happy to take pictures for us. Even in winter this is a must do tour. Couldn’t recommend the tour or Jeff enough.
