Very well organized and very flexible, if you needed to be dropped off at your hotel and if they could accommodate that, they would. Very nice people and a smooth and comfortable bus!

Fantastic Tour & guide!

Wonderful Tour of the city and sights! Even though it was raining and we didn’t get the best photos from the bus, Patrice our tour guide was great! Would recommend this tour if you’re wanting to see all the sights and history while in Montreal.

Excellent Orientation to Montreal

Very professional and friendly guide and driver. The guide was local and very knowledgeable answering all of our ‘off the cuff’ questions. Respected the driver for his skill in city traffic. This is an excellent way to get a great orientation of Montreal (and any city).

Absolutely worth it. The tour guide was very informative and helpful. Also, they gave us suggestions outside of the hop-on hop off.

Catherine, our guide, is a local and was excellent and friendly telling us about her city. You could see her pride. She included some short walking to several places off the beaten path (St Joseph church and a local indoor market) and included a history of the City of Montreal. Our driver S???? Was the best also. He and Catharine answered questions about the best places to shop, find the best poutine. Both of them made us feel very much at home in Montreal.
