Greatest tour ever - The tour guide was very very knowledgeable. Mustfa talked almost non stop for five hours. But he stopped to let us soak in the sights. The Notre Dame church was the experience of a lifetime

Had a great day! - We took this tour on our first day in Montréal. Our tour guide was super accommodating. We were picked up at our hotel. It covered all the main attractions I had read about prior to our trip. We wanted to try the the Montreal bagels, he made an unscheduled stop for us - delicious! It was great not to have to wait in line and to have direct access at our stops. Recommended :).

Professional, fun and affordable! The perfect trifecta!! - We enjoyed a beautiful day trip in Montreal. A spectacular city to view, but more important it was our wonderful, knowledgeable and attentive tour guide who made the experience wonderful. He customized our tour every step of the way, maximizing our time and yet giving us flexibility on where we preferred to concentrate. It was the highlight of our Montreal experience. Thank you Viator for offering this fabulous service to travelers.

Excellent for small group - Bill gave us an excellent tour of the city, and many attractions recommend this private tour to anyone. Only suggestion is that the cruise was at a terminal difficult to access and suggest operator pick a smaller cruise boat terminal

Wonderful guide - Stephanie was most accommodating in meeting our request. She was an excellent driver. Just need to brush up on some historical dates i.e. Montreal Olympics was held in 1976.

Amazing Montreal tour - My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this private tour in Montreal. We loved our guide and all the information that was shared. We asked to customize the tour and were able to substitute the boat ride for the Ferris wheel, which was amazing. We loved Montreal and being able to see all the highlights without crowds and at our own pace.

Fabulous highlights of Montreal - Andrés was amazing! He was great dealing with our group in two languages and was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. Even though we were a bit delayed because of the weather we were told ahead of time and it was all good. Definitely worth it to see all the highlights of Montreal.

deTOURed! 2 thumbs down - I booked this excursion 2 days before the date needed, it took my 45 minutes on the phone for a full explanation of the type of tour I was getting: private 4 hour sighseeing tour for 6 ppl. I was told that I would get a call from the tour guide explaining the tour and perhaps customizing it to my specific needs; but I had to book it first, then someone would contact me...no one did. I tried numerous times contacting customer service of Viatour only to learn that my excursion was subcontracted to SeeSight tours. I met my guide earlier before my guests arrived, only to find out that my tour was pretty much unchangeable and that he had to follow the route plan (in which I had no idea what our route was). The worst part, however, was the dirty, rusted and old vehicle they provided along with the wrinkled and frumpy, just-rolled-out-of-bed tour guide. I scrambled to rent a proper SUV (within 15 minutes, this was 30 minutes before my tour started!) and I insisted that the tourguide ride with us in the rented SUV. I had to get approval from 3 different people who worked with the tour company. It was a terrible experience, not worth the money and effort. FYI I got refunded 1/3 the price, however that's probably because a tornado warning cut the tour short.
