Fran, our tour guide, was warm, funny and knowledgeable. She made sure to actively engage everyone in the group and provided commentary on various statutes around the sites we visited as well as architecture. I would recommend the half-day tour as I felt we saw much more of Montreal than we would have on our own.

A warm and friendly welcome because my mother has reduced mobility and we helped her get down and settle in. A quality guide And some drinks and snacks to enjoy the visit. We recommend it.

Robert was our guide today and he was friendly and informative. The tour was a pleasure. Robert was very knowledgeable about the various landmarks and sites. Thank you!
