      BORING
      Unfortunately, There weren't many positives about this tour that I can mention so, I'll begin there. The fact that I was picked up and dropped off in front of my hotel and we had a roomy/comfortable van was nice. Also, I thought our tour guide was as good as he could be. Meaning that it's mostly just driving around in the countryside, at times pointing our that this WAS the country and anouther actually pointed out harvested hay as well as horses. ...Not worth the price

      The best was to experience Montreal in one Day
      This is an excellent way to see the highlights of Montreal in one trip without the worry of driving there yourself. Françoise Is an awesome tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and ensures her customers have a good experience. My favorite part of this experience was exploring old Montreal.

      Great half-day tour of the city
      We were looking at this small group tour vs the less-expensive big bus tour options available. I'm glad we went with this small group tour. It's definitely worth the extra cost. The van can get to places that the big busses can't, and it can move around more easily and quickly. The smaller group allows the feasibility to get out of the vehicle more often to take better pictures. At a couple of stops, we saw big bus tours stop only for a couple minutes for their passengers to take pictures through the dirty windows, while we were able to stop off the van and take better pictures. And speaking of dirty windows (which I read reviews about on some of the big bus tours), the windows on our van were clean and crystal clear. Our tour guide was even cleaning them just before the tour started. We were looking at this 3-hour tour vs the full day tour. Although I'm sure the full day tour would be great for some people, we personally decided that a full day was more time than we really wanted to spend for a tour. This tour covers a lot in 3 hours. The stops were just the right amount of time. Our tour guide Mounir was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed this tour and the tour guide, and we strongly recommend it.

      Nice Tour of the City
      My friend and I really enjoyed the tour. The guide, Monier (hope that is spelled correctly) was absolutely lovely. Knowledgeable and accommodating. Nice overview of the city and well worth doing.

      Great Tour
      This was a great tour! We saw so many things that we wouldn't have seen and learned so much about the city. This was a quick trip to see the city. Fran was the best - very knowledgeable of the city since she's always lived there. We even saw the grand stands for F1 that were set up. Highly recommend this tour - pick up and drop off worked out well and the small group was great....we all even had lunch together during the tour.

      Our driver/guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Our 7 person group perfect for hearing everything said and getting around. That alone was totally worth the price and in total everything was excellent!

      Fabulous Full-Day Touring Experience that exceeded expectations.
      Fabulous day in Montreal!!! Our tour guide, Mounir (sp), was great! He was gracious, patient, very informative, and represents his company with an A+. The walking tours and local food tastes were an added bonus to a wonderful and personal touring experience. Thank you Mounir - we would do it all over again.

      Very Informative, but need to Add bench Seat back in!!
      Fran our driver & guide was a wealth of information. We saw so much. We stopped at the marker and tasted a few different types of maple samples, Stopped and had fresh bagels. All stops listed we saw and were able to have time to visit and/or explore on our own. Montreal was great to see. We had a little bad weather at first, but it lifted and was just cloudy most of the day. My only complaint is they need to add the missing row seat back in. She said it was so they could drive with just a regular license and no more than 8 passengers. Whoever gets stuck with 4 on a seat are like sardines. My husband was in the front for first half then we picked up a couple by Norte Damn. Not being mean but we had a very big lady with us so she got moved to the front seat & my husband on back seat with 3 others. I get car sick so far back seat wasn’t an option. It would have been just as tight. They need to get the next level of driver license and add seat back in. Smashing people together to get a full van for $$$ is poor service. 7 should be max capacity besides driver.

      It was a good overall view or perspective of Montreal. Although St. Joseph's Oratory could have been skipped. Our guide Fran was good- very nice and helpful.

      Beautiful city, wonderful tour guide
      Our tour guide Fran was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. She clearly loves her city. Introduced us to many highlights. Had the freshest bagel, right out of the oven. First rain, then snow in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon (on April 24). Very happy with the experience. Would highly recommend.

    This was the first excursion we went on in Montreal. It's the perfect way to get to know the City. Tour was in a clean van and was uncrowded. Our guide, Harald, gave us a great tour with a lot of information. We stopped in spots long enough to get a feel for the various neighborhoods, and that made it easier to return to these places on our own later in the week. We had a blast. Highly recommended.

    This tour was very nice. Started with a pickup at your hotel (excellent communication with Tour company setting it up the day prior to trip). Our ride was in a very comfortable van with clean windows and lots of space. Tour guide Monu (??spelling) was very nice and cordial. The selected visits along the way were excellent... perfect start at the famous St Viateur Bagel Shop.. the tour moved on visiting many excellent locations (see tour descriptions). Our tour ended with our guide driving us back to our hotel. In all, I found this Montreal Tour to be very worthwhile and highly recommended.

    My tour guide was just awesome. He communicated with everyone well and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him, he seems very knowledgeable about the city. I wish we had seen more of the Underground, everything else was fine but the tour itself is very pricey for what you get. I would recommend more reasonable options that are similar to this tour.

    Thank you so much for your review. We highly appreciate it. Our biggest challenge in regards of the cost of the tour is to keep the prices as low as we can despite the inflation and ever increasing costs. All that while we keep the policy of small-size groups, which we feel is what make this tour very personable and specially enjoyable. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

    I love the customer service offered by Mounir of NTours. The original Montreal Night Tour we had reserved was cancelled because there weren't enough participants. He offered to change our reservation to the Montreal Intercultural City Tour. We lucked out! It was not only a great, informative tour, but our guide - Harald - was fun and knowledgeable. There were only five of us in this small group tour, which offered a unique personalized experience.

    During our afternoon tour of Montreal, there was an torrential downpour in the city. David, our tour guide, was able to change the itinerary to defeat the weather. Less walking, more riding. While highly knowledgeable, he was also entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Our guide, Mounir, was so competent, interesting and full of information. We asked to get a feel for this beautiful city and he really delivered! From the Oratory to Expo, Chinatown to Little Italy, delicious bagels to the Underground, we saw it all. Lots of history, current events, insights, he was a wonderful guide and driver. Thank you!

    There was only one other couple, so we got to ask a lot of questions. The tour guide was friendly and informative and took us to the sites we were interested in. He had a little step stool for helping us in and out of the van and offered us each a bottle of water. It was a good mix of walking and riding in the van. It was interesting to see and learn about the different ethnic neighborhoods and other areas of the city (Mile End, LePlatea, the Underground,etc). At the end of the tour he offered to drop us off as close to possible to the areas we wanted to revisit. Highly recommended. I would recommend that the guide clean the windows of the van. Ordinarily I wouldn’t mind, but this is a sightseeing tour. So for that reason I would rate him a 4.5.

    Thank you so much for your kind review. We highly appreciate it. We have taken note of your observation and we are sorry for that. I can assure you that the van was cleaned that same day in the morning, but with humidity on windows and dust coming from the construction sites it could become challenging to ensure the high elevated windows of the van are always clean during the tour. We will continue to do our best to overcome this challenge. Keep safe and all the best!

    I combined the Montreal in a nutshell tour in the morning with this tour in the afternoon. The pace of the tour allows you to see all the main attractions and some hidden gems. I chose this tour based on previous reviews of the tour guide, Mounir, and he exceeded my expectations. Mounir goes out of his way to deliver the best experience.
