Alain was prompt,...

Coco, Oct 2025

Alain was prompt, thoughtful and informative. Alain also shared great photo op moments and took us to places we would not have found on our own.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for the great review! It was a pleasure meeting & showing you some of my favorite Montreal locations.

Great option to learn about the city and your photographic adventure.

Daniel_W, Jul 2024

Alain is relaxed, knowledgeable and provides an excellent tour of Montreal, with plenty of excellent recommendations. We were able to chat about technical, creative, and compositional ideas while also enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks for your review Daniel! It was a pleasure to meet & show you some of my favourite Montreal spots.

See Montreal through your lens!

Genevieve_T, Jan 2024

I had a wonderful morning with Alain, exploring several Montreal sights through a camera lens. We started in the glorious Parc de Mont Royal overlooking the city, then visited several architectural gems, and even took some shots of the Montreal Metro. I’m an intermediate photographer and felt instantly comfortable with Alain. We worked more on composition than mechanics, though he showed me some tricks for manipulating shutter speed to create artful blurring. We even got a chance to stop for some Montreal bagels! Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your wonderful review :) Wishing you an awesome 2024!

Personal photo tour in Montreal.

Thomas_C, Sep 2023

We had a great time and highly recommend Alain as someone who knows how to take you to see the places that would interest you. The zoom session prior to the trip was a great idea.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks for your great review! Much appreciated :)

More than meets the eye

Beth_P, Jun 2023

Alain picked us up at our hotel promptly. He was very professional and personable. He took us to beautiful landmarks and showed us how to take photos, settings, angles and of course he took our photos. The 4 hours went by so fast. Totally different experience from a typical tour. We had such a great time with Alain. The weather was perfect! Thank you for the warm bagel. Beth and Rich

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thanks for your great review Beth! It was a pleasure meeting you & Rich & visiting some of my favorite Montreal locations. Good times :)

Alain's photo tour is amazing!

Weili_G, Jun 2023

Alain is extremely knowledgeable about Montreal and photography! Knowing that I am a big fan of Leonard Cohen's work, he took me on a special Leonard Cohen tour, which is very cool. Alain is also generous in sharing photography tips with me. It is incredible how many places we visited in 4 hours. I had an amazing time! Thank you, Alain!
