The city features a series of surviving 19th century buildings, including St George's Cathedral, known for its beautiful stained glass, and the Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption.

Had a great trip with Fred and enjoyed a full day out on the island. After not finding a trip included on our Marella cruise that we fancied, this was the only one booked through an outside tour operator and it all went very smoothly. We got to see Fort Charlotte, pirates of the Caribbean location, Dark view falls and there was time to stop at a beach for half an hour on the way back (but we felt it would have been a bit rushed so went straight back to the ship after the falls). We got lunch and a drink in a local bar included. Fred was very knowledgable and friendly, a very nice man.

We booked our tour to the Montreal Gardens through Trip Advisor. Our tour guide was Fred Stay with Stay’s Taxi & Tours. He has a clean and comfortable vehicle. Very good narrative as we journeyed to the stops along the way. If you are into plants and flowers, Montreal Gardens is well worth the time. Very well maintained paths lead you through the lush plantings and amazing views of the countryside. Highly recommend this half day tour.
