Hareld was terrific. We had a wonderful time with him in our tour. I was traveling with my 90 year old mother in law, brother in law and my husband. We all loved Hareld. He knew a lot about the history and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend the tour.

Very informative tour in a comfortable van. We only had 8 people, so it wasn’t crowded. Not sure providing the right name for our tour person—Fern/Farn, but she was lovely and took her time in providing us with information about what we were seeing. Very enjoyable 3 hours.

Phillip_D, Oct 2025
the tour kept us busy and our tour guide was excellent but compared to most other cities we have visited just didn't have that much of interest to offer. A very nice city but no especially interesting. Considering that it was over priced too.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your review. We respect your opinion, but we think that Montreal is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in North America, and we truly consider ourselves lucky to live in Montreal.
Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Jules was a great guide. We wanted to get to Saint Joseph's Oratory and this was a great way to see it. Jules showed us through the Oratory with excelleny commentary. We covered a lot of Montreal which was great and Jules was witty and knowledgeable about the city. We were picked up at our hotel, did the 3hr tour in a van with 6 others and were dropped off in old Montreal.

Wendy_K, Jul 2025
This was a great big picture tour of Montreal. Learned a bit about the history and French culture. Great visit to the giant cathedral. Wish we would have spent a bit more time in old town but that was my fault for not booking an appropriate tour. Tour guide was great! So friendly and so knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. It is challenging to conceive a 3-hour tour that gives a general comprehensive idea about Montreal and covers Old Montreal in the same time. That is why the tour ends in Old Montreal, so participants get to decide how much more time to spend in the Old town.
Enjoy travelling and all the best!
Christopher_M, Jul 2025
Our Montreal tour was delightful and fantastic. Our tour guide was super conversational and knowledgeable about the city. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see the city and have a better understanding of it.

This was a great tour! Harald was a great tour guide, pulling out all the stops to immerse us in the culture of the city! He loves his city and did everything in his power to make sure we left loving it too. Bagels, the Jean-Talon market, and Saint Joseph’s Oratory were a few of our favorite stops. Can’t recommend this enough!

This was a great way to see Montreal in a short time. And due to the cold temps it was perfect to be in a heated van! Our guide, Harald, really knows his history - it was very educational. Saint Joseph's Oratory and Westmount were highlights but there's nothing we didn't enjoy seeing and learning about.
