What is one to do these days to experience culture in a city you're not that familiar with? This was the perfect choice. My husband and I were the only two on this guide through interesting parts of the city that we would not have seen otherwise. It led us through alleys of hidden art and streets filled with color and vibe. The ever-changing landscape of this city is endlessly interesting and invigorating. Our guide Danny was a native of the city and was able to answer a myriad of questions we had ranging from real estate to festivals to food. If I were a local I would want to go on this tour.

My boyfriend and I were solo guests on a cold day and we really enjoyed our afternoon! Tom, our guide, was fun and energetic and taught us a ton about Montreal and its people. We enjoyed all of the places we visited and we liked that some of them were not the typical tourist attractions. We also appreciated the list of suggested restaurants and bars we received...we went to a place Tom recommended and had an amazing meal to end our trip!

My wife chose this tour for me, and I'm so glad she chose this one! What a fantastic time I had seeing so many different historical sites and interesting stops around old town Montreal, and surrounding area. You finished this tour really feeling like you saw the heart of Montreal! From the beautiful architecture of the Basilica, the fascinating underground city, to the eclectic and fun surroundings of China town and beyond, this was really a fantastic tour all around! Danny with a very knowledgeable and hospitable tour guide, with a thorough knowledge of the city. Don't hesitate to book this tour, it is well worth it!

This tour of the city is definitely one of a kind! For those who are not familiar with Montreal, this kind of tour gives you the ins and outs that you wouldn't of had the chance to discover otherwise. From the basilica in Old Montreal, to the snacks in Chinatown and then to finish up in the Plateau Mont Royal, you really get a fun and informative sense of what this city is all about. Let's not forget the tour of the multiple art murals that are up all over the Plateau! What a treat. Would recommend to people visiting the city for the first time, or those coming back looking to uncover its dozen of hidden gems.
