Fran was a great tour guide. Managed the trip well and is very personable and articulate.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Enjoy travelling and all the best!
We took the tour to get a first impression of Montreal. Our guide Harald startet the tour with a general introduction about the history of Montreal, especially the old town. From there we drove by van through different parts of the City where Harald showed us different historic Buildings, Churches and Parks. The Highlight of the tour was the visit of the St. Joseph’s Oratory and Basilica .At the end of the tour we took a short stroll to a fantastic view point which gave us the total view over the City. Harald was the perfect guide who made this tour with his knowledge and humor an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. As you swiched to the afternoon tour, you started in Old Montreal rather than ending the tour over there. Enjoy travelling and all the best!
Too much St. Joseph's Oratory, not enough old town Montreal.
Thank you for your review. This tour intends to give a general idea of the City of Montreal in 3-hours, taking you to areas where it is not easy to reach on your own. This includes the visit of the St Joseph Oratory, which is quite far from Downtown and Old Montreal areas. The tour though ends in Old Montreal where our guides give advises on what you could do there on your own. Enjoy travelling and all the best!
Fran was our amazing tour guide! We were so excited to go on this full-day tour. We got to eat delicious bagels and experience the entire city. We would not have been able to do this without Fran's expert experience of the city. She was super knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to our needs. Pickup and drop off was seamless. Would highly recommend to first-time travelers to the city!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Selecting the 7-hour tour option (full-day option) is highly recommended to get the full experience. But if your time dose not allow it, the default 3-hour tour would give you a good general idea about the city and things to do. Enjoy traveling and all the best!
