I did the full day tour and really enjoyed the whole experience. I wanted to get a good overview of the Montreal area, and zero in on the different places and history that make this city unique. I was very happy with the knowledge of my tour guides, as they have a wealth of knowledge about the city and it’s history. Also, this during the whole covid-19 thing in Montreal, and that did not keep me from enjoying the tour and my trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing what Montreal has to offer!
