Top Montreal Bus Tours - page 2

Fred was our guide and she was wonderful! She was very enthusiastic and animated throughout the tour, sharing about the history of the city and taking us around Montreal. She was very nice and kept a good pace. I didn’t realize this tour price included admission to notre dame (we had ten min to walk around and take pictures) and a bao from Chinatown and tea from plateau Mont Royal. We walked a lot but also got to see a lot of Montreal. This tour was well worth the price and we’d recommend this tour to others.

Harold, our guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable, courteous, and a gifted speaker! Kept us entertained the entire day! We learned so much about Montreal, Quebec and surrounding areas! We are planning a return trip, but intend to return for much more than just one day! Thank you Harald, and thank you to your company for a great time! Ray & Mayra Krahmer!

Fran was an exceptional guide, and our full-day Montreal tour—from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.—was one of the highlights of our trip. She was warm, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and able to bring the city’s history, culture, neighborhoods, architecture, and food traditions to life without ever making the day feel overwhelming. We covered an extraordinary amount, including the murals and creative energy of the Plateau, the Jewish history of the area and Little Portugal, Mile End, Montreal bagels, Little Italy, Jean-Talon Market, downtown, the Golden Square Mile, McGill, Mount Royal, Westmount, and St. Joseph’s Oratory. Fran shared so many memorable details, from the stories behind the murals and the history of Schwartz’s and the bagel shops to Montreal’s linguistic divide, its immigrant communities, and the transformation of former working-class neighborhoods into vibrant cultural centers. She also gave fascinating context about places like Mount Royal Park, Westmount, and St. Joseph’s Oratory, including the story of Brother André and the small original chapel still standing beside the basilica. The tour was extremely well paced, thoughtfully organized, and full of stops that helped us understand Montreal far beyond the usual tourist highlights. Fran made a long day feel effortless and kept us interested from beginning to end. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Montreal and would enthusiastically recommend both this full-day tour and Fran to anyone visiting the city.
