    This was such a wonderful experience! We tasted excellent food and also learned a lot about the history of Montreal from our guide Cecil. Cecil was an EXCELLENT tour guide and provided above and beyond service. She gave great recommendations for other places to explore and visit. She clearly has great pride for her city, and she is passionate as a tour guide.

    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).

    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!

    A long but good day. Its 3 hours from Montreal to Quebec City. There is a break about half way there. Norman gave us safe trip. Full of Corny jokes. Upon getting to Quebec city we met with our local tour guide Katia. As a life long resident she was a wealth of knowledge about Quebec City. Everything from the Fairmont le chateau hotel that is the most photographed hotel in the world where world events took place. Like signing off on DDay. She was a walking history of Quebec City. We did a 45 minute walk around with her. We got back on the bus. Katia continued to share her knowledge. Headed out to Montmorency Falls. Tall water falls but you could spend a half day to see it all. Back on the bus to upper Quebec City. Its a wonderful old European feel City. Back into the walled city. We had a couple hours to do our own walk around. A place to grab some poutine and a local beer.Then the long trip home. I would have given this tour a 5 if our driver has also shared some local history going or coming home. A trip worth the experience.

    Our guide was a true pleasure. She was incredibly engaging and had several fun and spooky stories. We had a lot of rain the night of the walk but that only made the evening that much more creepy. By far the best ghost tour we have been on.

    Demetrios was an incredibly knowledgeable guide, who provided our corporate groups with an unforgettable experience. He brings an amazing energy that keeps the groups engaged throughoot the entirety of the tour. It was absolute pleasure working with him, and we'll definitely be coming back!

    A good way to see some of the local sites and learn about Montreal's history. The tour did...not go exactly as advertised on the day that I went but this was mostly due to circumstances outside of the tour guides' control (i.e. an expected staffing shortage/change and prolonged transit times due to constructions and detours.) They did their best, though, and I enjoyed the experience. Maybe it goes off without a hitch most days. To get the most out of it, though, you may want to bring your flexibility (and hopefully your manners) with you!

    We were fortunate to have energetic Frances as our tour guide. She knew all about the history, culture and popular places to eat in the Jewish section of Montreal, having lived there all her life. Good thing I brought sunscreen, a hat and wore comfy shoes because we walked pretty briskly under the noon day sun. Except for the first and last stop, we ate outdoors, on the go. Frances provided us with a tote bag and a souvenir water bottle which were helpful. She pointed out places as we zigzagged around the neighborhood and shared their back stories. We got to taste and compare bagels and smoked meats from competing shops—all had long lines out the doors. We sampled hummus while learning about schools, churches and parks. She explained the significance of a couple of huge murals on building walls along the way. And as it was shabbat, we got to see quite a number of observant families dressed accordingly. We got a shot of crown royal whisky along with bagels, cream cheese and a pickle. We ended in an ice cream shop where I got to taste flavors i never heard of before. We ended the tour an hour later than expected, no one complained. Everyone tired but happy.
