Great Tour and Guide!

Terri_K, Oct 2025

We booked 8 hours with Fiona. She was very flexible and accommodating with what we wanted to see. She adjusted based on our requests and was very conscientious about our pace. She communicated with me ahead of time and had great recommendations for us and showed us some things we would never had found or known about on our own!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We're delighted that your time with Fiona was enjoyable and tailored to your interests. Her flexibility and local insights are exactly what we aim for, and we're glad she was able to show you hidden gems you might not have discovered otherwise. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!

A super memorable city tour with Connie the tour guide.

Izzy, Jun 2024

We had a wonderful experience with Connie the tour guide. Connie is very knowledgeable about the city, she's very funny, super flexible, willing to do what ever it takes to accommodate her guests. She constantly communicates with us, before and after the tour. We can NOT say enough good words about her. Connie made our Montreal city tour very memorable. We highly recommend her !!!!! We were able to get a very good taste of Montreal in this tour. Izzy & Vicky- Miami, Florida.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Connie in Montreal! We're thrilled to hear that she made your city tour memorable with her knowledge, flexibility, and humor. If you ever find yourselves back in Montreal, we'd love to show you more of the city!

We travel a great deal...

RubyAnne_D, May 2024

We travel a great deal and enjoy seeing a new city with a local guide. Pierre was an excellent guide, to walk us through old down town. He gave practical knowledge about his city and information on parking. He coordinated the timing of our tour to both our schedules. He thoughtfully reserved us a table at a rooftop restaurant after the tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

It's fantastic to hear that Pierre provided such a great experience, combining practical knowledge with thoughtful gestures like reserving a table at a rooftop restaurant. Sounds like a memorable tour!
