Great walking tour, excellent guide! We had a nice small group and covered a lot of ground. So glad we did this on our first full day in Montreal, now we know what we want to go back and explore again.

Debbie was so knowledgeable about Old Montreal! It is a solid 2 hour walking tour, but we stopped in many places, all that had places to sit down if needed. Debbie let us know about other places to check out while we were in the area and even gave us a good recommendation as to where the best poutine was!

    Vey knowledgeable tour guide. The tour is educational and allows you to dive into history and culture of the city.

    A Must Do Walking Tour

    Dennis_F, Jul 2026
    One of the best walking tours we have ever attended! Debbie was fantastic; highly knowledgeable, great story-telling and took time to answer so many questions (some not even related to Old Montreal!). Two hours of fantastic history and culture, we only wished it was 3 or 4 hours so we could take the time with Debbie to learn, see and do even more.

    Honor_W, Jun 2026
    Old City Tour with Debbie. As well as being a lively combination of historical information and entertainment- Debbie managed to find us all benches to sit on or walls to perch on. Also found shade on a hot sunny afternoon. Highly recommend, even if a two hour walk might otherwise be a stretch.

    Great to learn about Old Montreal!

    Nora_Z, Jun 2026
    Very informative and great tour guide! My 13 year old was semi-entertained, which is what I expected. He was happy that the tour ended right next to a place that he could buy Pokemon cards! I can't remember our guide's name right now, but he was born and raised in Montreal and we loved hearing his stories and directly from a local.

    Great tour! Sign up!

    Kathy_S, Jun 2026
    Wonderful tour! Debbie told us about the history but more importantly tied the history into present day Montreal. The pace was good, shady spots and places to sit were found at most stops, and she answered questions well. Two hours was a good amount of time for the tour. We learned of other options to explore if we wanted to learn more or experience more of present day Montreal. We took the tour on our second to the last day in town and that was nice as we had seen a lot and had questions. Taking the tour early on would be a nice intro to the city as well.
