Best part of Montreal, especially if you are in search of the Parisienne vibes. Loved all the sidewalk cafés, vendors, artists, and musicians. Great during the day, but comes alive in the evening (at least on the weekend).

Old Montreal is amazing the restoration on the streets are a great upgrade. Steak et Fritz bring your own wine was good. Best Onion Soup EVER.. Just get 2 of those each and pass on the rest you will be full guarantee. Enjoy

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Vieux Montreal. The port is full of engaging activities for tourists that we enjoyed: Boat tour, ferris wheel, cobblestone streets with shoppes and patios etc. We rented bikes through bixi which was easy to do and a nice way to see the waterfront and travel more quickly from one end of the area to another. Lots of great food options and views of the charming city. A great place to visit for 2 days.

What an amazing city! The restaurants, churches, amazing architecture, museums, art galleries. So much to do. Walking around in and out of shops, getting a gelato or a crepe, and feeling totally safe the entire time. Can’t wait to go back!

Our tour guide was Sarah M and she did an outstanding job of informing us of the history, culture, and architecture of OLD Montreal. She is bilingual and spoke fluent French and English. She reminded us of a college professor as she had so much information about the area but yet, made it a very enjoyable and educational experience. We had for for both the Eastern and Western Tours. She was able to blend details with entertainment making it a very enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend that you consider taking both walking tours if you want to be immersed in history and culture of Montreal.

Starting at the basilica we spent about 90 minutes walking around the old city area. We visited the old bank with beautiful ceilings, it’s now a cafe, a 30 minute wait for a good coffee but filtered available immediately.We then went down towards the port area where the Old Custom House is situate. The ‘Whisperers’ bronze statue on our route made us smile, then it was back to the starting point.

Cute cobblestone streets reminding me of so many European cities, following the same architecture one finds in many places scattered across Europe with lots of coffee shops, small restaurants, places to visit and shops, the latter having rather high prices, if you are used to very high quality items you can purchase online from all over the world at a fraction of their cost here. Nevertheless, this is a great area to walk, just have comfortable shoes and a drink on hand in a warm day. My other half booked a hotel located in Sherbrook Avenue which was convenient for walking to this area on a daily basis, visiting nearby Notre Dame and all the other places of interest.

While in the city, we spent most of our time in Old Montreal. The area is full of sights to see and delicious restaurants to enjoy a meal or two at. You’ll also find lots of hotels, cafes, and stores.

I followed a free online walking tour of Old Montreal and very much enjoyed it. I didn't really get a strong French vibe, much more a feeling of Canada as a French/English amalgam. And of course sitting on the Saint Laurence River which is the reason the city grew up there.

We loved wandering the streets of the old town, away from the tall buildings. For us there were a few too many tourist tat places all selling the same stuff, but if you looked hard enough, also individual shops, restaurants and cafés. Rue St Paul was a favourite, which we visited a couple of times.
