Great way to see Montreal
Gustav was prompt on pick up and maintained a very clean car. He really helped us to understand Montreal's layout and history. He told very entertaining stories, pointed out sights of specific interest based on our interests, and did a great job of answering our questions. Since our daughter is considering McGill, he talked about how the sights varied by season and helped her to practice her French. Gustav really seems to love being a tour guide and his adopted city.

Good river ride that needed to include more history
Very windy outside! And hard to hear the narration out there. Nice boat ride with some good points of interest noted. Needed to incorporate more history of Quebec, though. Focused only on economic/industrial topics, which did not appeal to me.
