Explore markets, where growers, butchers, and fishmongers display their best produce. Relax in the enchanting Mount Royal Park and practice your French as you amble up to one of Montreal’s most popular viewpoints to see the city from above. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

A super memorable city tour with Connie the tour guide.

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a wonderful experience with Connie the tour guide. Connie is very knowledgeable about the city, she's very funny, super flexible, willing to do what ever it takes to accommodate her guests. She constantly communicates with us, before and after the tour. We can NOT say enough good words about her. Connie made our Montreal city tour very memorable. We highly recommend her !!!!! We were able to get a very good taste of Montreal in this tour. Izzy & Vicky- Miami, Florida.

We travel a great deal...

Published on May, 2024

We travel a great deal and enjoy seeing a new city with a local guide. Pierre was an excellent guide, to walk us through old down town. He gave practical knowledge about his city and information on parking. He coordinated the timing of our tour to both our schedules. He thoughtfully reserved us a table at a rooftop restaurant after the tour.
