What you’ll do

Montreal is one-of-a-kind, a blend of French-infused heritage and Canadian multiculturalism that can’t be recreated. Join your local guide in taking in sweeping city views from the apex of Mount Royal, the striking eponym watching over downtown Montreal. You could sample some of the best Québécois cuisine in the multicultural Mile End neighborhood or Jean-Talon Market, a farmers’ market lined with stalls selling food and fresh produce (but if you prefer pizza over poutine, Little Italy might be more your style). If you want to see snapshots of the city’s past and learn more about its European-influenced history, you could head to the cobbled lanes of Old Montreal, a 17th-century district with a port used by French fur traders 400 years ago!

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.

My husband and I had an awesome full day experience with May. She was very knowledgeable and personable. Our tour was totally customized to meet our interests and adding and excluding based on our requests. We walked, talked, ate, learned the history of the city, the buildings, shopped, rested, and walked some more. We were thrilled with the 18,000 steps journey through the old town, waterfront, underground, China town, university area and locals shopping district.

On Sept 6, May Wong met us as planned at our hotel for a full day tour of Montreal. We were off at a good pace with use of the metro, city bus, and of course, our legs. She made our first trip to Montreal an absolute memorable one that you must do too. Please request May and your time together will be a real treat!!! Thank you May!

My mom and I had never been to Montreal. We were paired with our guide Gabriel. He showed us the city, told us the history, shared some of his favourite local spots, and let us choose the pace we walked. Would highly recommend having Gabriel as a guide!
