Snowy Old Town - In spite of the weather, Debbie led an informative and fun tour. She shared stories and historical facts while constantly looking for sheltered areas to protect us from the elements. I would love to go on another tour with her!!!

Guide that goes the extra mile - Our guide Debbie was very knowledgeable and personable. It was a cold day and she made thoughtful choices about where to stop as a group when she continued her narrative. She had great recommendations for other options to see and where to eat. She had prepared a binder of pictures to help us understand what the city looked like in the past. We appreciated the extra effort and energy this required

Great Montréal Guide - Our bi-lingual Tour Guide Debbie was a Montreal native French Canadian. She gave us extensive historical background on the establishment, growth and current status of Montreal, carefully explaining the initial conflict between the British Protestants and French Catholics. She had a special love of architecture and geography. The 2 hr tour in November included outdoor sites and periodic indoor sites as well, important on our very cold day November day. Guide Debbie had a clear and audible voice, set a good walking pace, and took time to answer questions. Her people skills were top notch. One of the top 3 guides I've had the pleasure of experiencing.

Great walking tour on a chilly morning. - Our guide René was terrific. He is a former city planner (I think) and clearly loves the city and its architecture. We started at the Place d’Armes and weaved around to the Marche Bonsecours. There was ample time for questions. I would have liked to hear a bit more about the geology of the region given all the various stones visible in the buildings’ walls. We went later to the archaeology museum for lunch, to warm up, and the exhibits, and later the Hotel de Ville.
