Excellent walking tour of old Montreal

Elise was our guide and she did an excellent job taking us around, sharing her knowledge, and was a wonderful person to talk to! As I love art and architecture, I appreciated her insights on various objects of interest during our walk. At the end of the tour, she also provided a leaflet on various places to eat and explore in Montreal as well as a small souvenir. Highly recommend this walking tour!
