Wonderful tour with Jeff. It was interesting, educational and he went at the perfect pace I would recommend this tour to see a part of the city, especially if you don’t have a lot of time in the city

Louise was an excellent tour guide. We learned so much about Montreal and Canada. The tour was personalized to the small group and the conversation among the group was engaging and enlightening. The written restaurant and other recommendations were helpful and the maple syrup and photos were a nice touch at the end. We would use this tour company again and highly recommend to others.

Tour was very informative and walking was not difficult at all. Pointed out the major site seeing areas of the city and provided some good restaurant recommendations.

The tour was fabulous but that's because we were fortunate to get Louise as our guide. We learned so much and appreciated how she broke up the tour/information into 3 chapters starting with the indigenous people.

Fantastic walking tour. Our young lady guide grew up in Montreal, knew everything. Good 2.5-3 hour walk. A bit uneven walking but very safe. Highly recommend
