Our walking tour in Montreal was excellent-informative, well organized and full of interesting history and local stories. Our guide Alex was so welcoming and thoughtful providing time for questions and discussions. The pace of the tour was good and you never felt rushed to move on. Highly recommend to anyone visit the amazing city of Montreal!

Walking tour with Jared. He was informative, and friendly. We really enjoyed learning about the city and walked through most highlights. Good start if you wanted to go back to certain places such as Notre Dame or Old Montreal, etx

Cancelled Tour!!

Renee_M, Jun 2026

First, the guide, Alex, did not have a red flag for us to see to help locate him. Fortunately, he was the person we approached. We then got started about 10-15 minutes after 10am start time. After another 5 minutes of introductions, a police officer called the guide over to chat. After their discussion, the guide returned to tell the group the tour was cancelled. It appeared the officer gave the guide some type of ticket. The officer did not leave till we dispersed. Very disappointing. Not sure what type of operation Toonie Tours runs but they should have proof that their contractors are eligible to work. Can’t recommend them. Try the Hop On Hop Off Bus!

A lot of people

Joan_B, May 2026

The tour guide was excellent. The tour could have been done in less time.. Because there were so many people (30-40) it was very difficult to hear the guide.

Montreal city tour terminated by the police.

Julio_A, May 2026

This tour was canceled by the police before starting. The Montreal police informed us that this company did not have a license to organize tours of the city. Viator had already charged to my credit card 10.00. I hope they refund me.

A Morning Walk in Montreal

You get to feel , see and hear the stories behind the great place of Montreal. Jarred was just exceptional- demonstrated his patriotic spirit of his birthplace.

Great history of Montreal...

Montréal walking tour.

Jack_A, Apr 2026

It was interesting and very informative. Jarred knew his stuff. It's three hours, and a fair bit of walking. Might be too much for the older generation.

Had the best time learning about Montreal on my first trip there. I got to see so much of the city, meet other solo travelers, and find hidden gems that only a local would know.

i wasn’t terrible, wasn’t great.

Shirley_C, Oct 2025

not the best walking tour i’ve been on; i would not recommend this to a friend. could barely hear my tour guide for the most part, and it ended quite early, even though we rushed through most places.
