Really informative tour. Noah seems like an expert on the topic. He speaks loud and clear so easy to understand. Highly recommend.
It was an excellent experience as a 1st generation immigrant myself to learn about the Jewish History in Montreal and I felt their resilience as well. I wish I had more educational background in history nonetheless it was still a very memorable experience. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal.
