A MUST DO! Such an easy and enjoyable way to learn about the development of Montreal City. We could have never learned this practical and interesting information in 2 hours without a guide! Plus our tour guide was soooo friendly, made sure we were comfortable the entire tour- bathroom breaks, she even had extra mitts to keep us warm ;). Debbie, Delaware USA
The walk is not onerous and there are plenty of stops if you need to sit. There were a couple of opportunities for “comfort breaks” along the way. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable and gave some real local perspective to the complex history and culture of Montreal and Quebec. If you are in Montreal for more than a week or so I strongly recommend you do this tour early in your stay as it gives you many tips on places to eat and visit. Matt, UK.
