    Carolyn was a great guide
    Carolyn was a wonderful tour guide. We learned so much about the history of the city and the language. She was super considerate that we had our dog with us and engaging with adults and teenagers alike. Finished near the old town with some nice local recommendations and places to go for lunch. Thoroughly recommended.

    Such a wonderful tour guide!
    We took the full tour of both the East and West sections of Old Montreal. Catherine was fantastic! You can feel how much she loves her country. We will definitely be back to explore some more!

    Good tour guides
    Very nice guides. I accidentally booked a tour in French and they switched it at the last minute to English. They are very helpful.

    Great Tour - Fun and Informative
    Our walking tour with Pierre was the best we’ve ever been on. Some guides just deliver a steady stream of facts, but he offered the right depth of geographical and social context to really understand the whole picture. It was a great 90 minutes, and we’d gladly do another tour with this crew the next time we’re in town.

    Old Montreal tour with our NYC cousins
    The walking was excellent. Our tour guide, Thomas, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the history of Montreal. He was patient and told us the history and stories in a very entertaining manner. I wish him well. Thanks.

    Perfect 1 1/2 hr tour of Old Montreal
    Suzanne was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. She explained things with just enough detail to keep you interested and engaged. I would definitely take another tour with her.

    Enjoyable and informative.
    We took the 2-part tour, East and West. It was very interesting and our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. There was a 1 hour break for lunch in our own. We had barely enough time to find a place to eat and make it back to the meeting place. The tour might be more enjoyable if started earlier and run for continuous 3 hours, maybe with a short break for quick refreshment.

    Excellent Tour of Old Montreal
    Great tour of old Montreal. Sebastien was an excellent guide - funny, personable and very knowledgeable. 1.5 hours was the right amount of time

    A fascinating walking tour of Old Montreal by an excellent guide.
    Sarah was phenomenal. I give tours at a museum in the DC area and it’s important to be a good storyteller to keep your visitors engaged, which she did superbly. Learned a lot about Old Montreal, its origins and history, and appreciated that she included a lot of information about First Nations tribes and their part of the story. Ten stars!

    Great choice if you want to speedrun Old Montreal
    We had a bit trouble finding the group at first, but overall it was a wonderful and interesting walking tour. We first worried that the schedule will be too rush, but it turned out to be just fine. Shout out to our friendly guide, Diane, she’s very knowledgeable about the history of old Montreal One suggestion to the company: at the start point, make your employees easier for tourists like us to find among large crowds of other people. It was hard to distinguish them without calling the customer service for help, at least until the moment when I write down this review.

    Walking Tour with Andre
    My wife and I did the East and West tours, with an hour break in between for a quick bite, and they were well worth it! Scheduling and weather prevented us from taking this tour on our first day in the city; I suggest you take it the first day if timing permits. Andre was our guide for both and did an amazing job throughout our tour. From answering our group questions to sharing what was important to know along our walking tour, time flew by. I highly recommend you take this tour to learn more about Montreal!

I wish I had our guide’s name…he was fantastic! Our group of 8 on June 26 at 2:30 p.m. ET very much enjoyed our private walking tour. The tour was easy to book online and I chatted with a rep. to request a start of 2:30 instead of 2, and that was easily accommodated. The guide was already there when we arrived 15 minutes early, and we started right away.

A lot of interesting information was shared… I won’t give it away… but our group of both locals and out-of-towners left a lot more knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend this tour!

Tip: bring water, go potty before the tour, where comfortable walking shoes (for cobblestone too).

Despite the chilly morning, our guide, Stacy provided very interesting details about the architecture, history and business competition in 18th & 19th century Montreal. She was attentive to our interests, and we recommend her highly

We really enjoyed this walking tour with our guide, Julian. He's very knowledgeable and generous in sharing his knowledge about his wonderful city. He was very good about checking in with us about what we particularly wanted to see during our private tour. Covered all the high points, history and architecture. Also, he recommended a terrific restaurant, Vieux-Port Steakhouse, where we enjoyed a terrific meal. We really enjoyed our time with Julian, thank you for a great day!

This tour was included as part of a package train tour we were on. Christian was our guide for our private group of 3. He was well informed, knowledgeable and entertaining. He took us around old Montréal and explained the areas, architecture and history of Montréal plus suggestions where we could go later on our own and directions to follow. So much information and had answers to all our questions. We all recommend Christian. Thank you!

We so enjoyed our tour around Old Montreal with Sylvain. He was completely easy going and had a wonderful binder of visual references that gave us so much additional context beyond what we could see in person. I was impressed at the scope of knowledge he had about other buildings and questions we had beyond what we stopped to see! A tour was so important, since we only had one day of good weather before a very rainy weekend. Thanks!

This tour is falsely presented. It is advertised as a "private" tour of up to 15 people. We booked the tour with 4 people, but when we arrived for the tour we were told it wasn't a private tour, but a group tour of 15 people. It was not that interesting and a complete waste of money.

Bonjour, We sincerely apologize for any confusion and disappointment you experienced during your recent visit to our tour. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services. Firstly, we offer three types of tours: public, VIP (semi-private), and private. We understand that there may have been some confusion regarding the tour type you booked, and we want to clarify the distinctions to rectify the situation. Public Tour: This tour is open to a larger group of participants, often up to 15 people, and is designed to provide an economical option for our guests. It is not private. VIP (Semi-Private) Tour: This tour offers a more intimate experience with a smaller group of participants, typically limited to a maximum of 6 people, providing a better chance for interaction and a more personalized experience. It is not private but offers a more exclusive atmosphere than the public tour. Private Tour: This tour is exclusively for your group, ensuring privacy and a personalized experience with no additional participants. We are truly sorry if there was any confusion regarding the tour type you expected. To further assist you and address this situation, we kindly request additional information such as the name of the booking platform, your name, the date and time of the tour, and optionally, the guide's name. You can contact us at info@guidatour.qc.ca . This will allow us to investigate the issue thoroughly and take appropriate actions to prevent such miscommunications in the future. Our goal is to provide exceptional experiences to our guests, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that. Once we receive the necessary details, we will take steps to ensure that future guests are better informed about our tour options and their specific characteristics. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered during your visit and hope to make it up to you promptly. Sincerely, Guidatour's Team
