Connie was great! She did a wonderful job at taking me around the highlights of old Montreal. She suggested I purchase a ticket to see L'expérience AURA à la basilique Notre-Dame as it often sells out and thankfully I did! She also gave great tips for other places to see and do. Highly recommend Connie!
