What travellers are saying
- LaJuradoLas Cruces, NM20 contributionsThis was a nice, slow ride. For the base price, you go around three times. It seems that their practice is to let groups have a gondola to themselves, which was a bonus. My daughter and I went, and though it could seat maybe eight (?), they let us ride with just us two.
Perhaps that was because the line was very short during the week, closer to sunset.
The views were great! My only fuss is the windows were smudged, so sometimes it was hard to get the camera to focus. Nevertheless, many pictures did come out good.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seeing all the monuments and stadiums will make you feel as if you are back several years ago when the Olympics took place in Montreal. Not much is open for touring, so beware of that…but it’s still cool to see! We were able to see the Olympic pool in use by classes, which was cool!Written November 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Philly9 contributionsAs others stated make sure you go on a clear day. It is a quick ride up and there are many places to get different views of Montreal. However, it is on the outskirts of the city and with the insectarium and planetarium under going renovations there isn't much else to do in the area except the botanical gardens.
The tower and stadium them selves are an amazing sight, but if you don't have a lot of time I am not sure it is worth the trip.Written October 26, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Dating from 1919, this iconic structure is 45 meters high and performs double duty as a lighthouse. The Old Port of Montréal’s iconic Clock Tower celebrates its 100th year in 2022. Still a prominent feature of the city skyline, the Clock Tower continues to welcome visitors, watercraft, and tourists as they make their way along the Mighty St. Lawrence River. By the way, the Prince of Wales placed the foundation Stone in 1919
The Clock Tower was named a Classified Federal Heritage Building in 1996. In addition to commemorating the courage of the seamen of the Merchant Marine who perished in the First World War.
Climb the 192 steps to the top, and you'll be rewarded with great views of the St. Lawrence River, Old Montreal, and the Jacques Cartier Bridge off in the distance. Admission is free.
we were tired so we did not try this, there is a beach nearby (man-made, small beach).Written June 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The river is much rougher than I had expected and riding the Jetski was really a challenge and a great experience. If I will be back to Montreal, this is what I will definitively do again.Written September 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
