Jo Anne was great! A wealth of knowledge with a great delivery. Definitely a ‘’must’ tour in Montreal.
This was a fantastic tour. Very easy route to walk. Guide was extremely knowledgable and able to answer any questions. Made lots of stops and learned lots of interesting facts about Montreal.
Got Robert as a tour guide. He's very well informed about the history of Montreal. Recommended! Also we'll worth the reasonable price. But as a Torontonian I have to say GO LEAFS GO!
