Overview

This is the perfect fun and informative private walking tour to discover Downtown Montreal - the city's urban heart & soul. Unlike other city centres, Montreal's downtown core is vibrant and alive all day and all night, well past 9-5 business hours! We begin in the Museum District and walk through the posh "Golden Square Mile". See some impressive Victorian era architecture and stroll through beautiful McGill University campus. Take a detour past ice hockey mecca the Bell Centre - home to the legendary Montreal Canadiens. Sainte Catherine Street is bursting with fashion, food and festivals and is sure to delight. Parks and public squares, cathedrals and churches, monuments and murals - we'll cover all the highlights during our 2-hour walk. We finish at Phillips Square, where modern downtown began. Your passionate local guide will keep you entertained with history, secrets, hidden gems and fun facts. Book now and bring your curiosity!

Meeting points

Meet outside the main entrance near the red hearts sculpture. Closest metro is Guy or Peel on the Green line and and both stations are a 7-8 minute walk from the meeting spot. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start. The tour will begin on time and we cannot wait for latecomers.
