Perfect solution for late flight home post cruise! - Our flight home from Montreal to Tampa didn't depart until 4:30 pm. I looked into the 3 hour bus tour offered by the cruise ship with port pickup and airport drop off and they were charging $700 for two people! OUCH. This amazing tour was $50 pp and they collected us right outside the port entrance. An easy 3 minute walk. Stored our luggage below and went to the meeting point downtown to pick yup the remaining passengers. The comprehensive tour, with 3 included stops, including Mont Royal viewpoint was excellent. Entertaining driver/commentator Dominic was delightful. Tour completed at downtown location where it was very easy to find a cab to the airport for 50 CAD. we saved $550 not using the Azamara tour and it couldn't have been a better way to spend a morning in Montreal. Thank you Viator!

Tour review - Great tour. Bus was clean and guide was very informative. The only thing is the shuttle bus was not there to take us back to the hotel. We had to wait 45 minutes for a return shuttle.

Awesome intro to Montreal ... covered lots of ground - This is a great overview of Montreal. We were coming off of a cruise that ended in Montreal, and we had several hours to kill. Our tour guide was Cecile and the driver was Andre. Both were A+ and worked really well together. It was really interesting listening to Cecile effortlessly switch back and forth between English and French. She provided much information with a clear passion for her work, she was entertaining, interactive, and very friendly. Andre had the most personality of any driver I've seen, and he skillfully worked around a state funeral that overtook the center of the city and lots of road construction and other driving hazards. The stops were good, particularly for those looking for a bathroom or something to eat/drink.

Great deal for after cruise - Great way to see Montreal after your cruise. You have to leave the cruise terminal area and go to pick up location of 350 Place Royal (in front of museum) where the coach will pick you and your luggage up. Then they take you to their office to verify your ticket and your tour begins. Well worth it. See major sites on grayline tour bus with friendly guide. Even went to a local market.

Great overview of Montreal - The tour guide, Richard, was great. He is very personable and had lots of good stories to share. We enjoyed seeing the many different areas of Montreal. I wish we could have driven higher to get a better view of the city. Where we stopped had lots of construction in our view.

Disorganized - Enjoyable tour but the tour operator is disorganized. Received conflicting information about where to join the tour. Tour operator did not respond to text messages.

Paying more for what you really wanted - This tour is misleading, I bought my ticket for a boat tour of harbor. Ended up on a three and a half hour tour of the city.
