You may have to wait for...

You may have to wait for the bus longer than you anticipated. Some of the buses were very old but the driver did a good job.

Red bus tour Montreal

The bus ride took is all over Montreal - was a great experience but a bit long. Dominic was FANTASTIC as he seamlessly switched between French smd English. The stops were great places to spend a bit of time and stretch our legs as well as taking in the sites.

Passable

Tour gave a good basic look at Montreal and we had three different guides over two days. All were easy to understand and gave different insights. I wish tour extended to Botanical Gardens and the silly practice of needing a wristband (waiting in long office lines) when we had tickets should be be changed.

The Guide and Driver Made It Worthwhile

Expect to spend most of your tour on the bus. Only exited the bus 3x and photo opportunities are few and far between. Our tour guide, Mr Swan and our driver, Richard, were the best parts of the trip. Bus was comfortable and the entire operation ran smoothly. Overall, not bad but at least I didn't have to walk too much!
