Must do- warm condensed way to experience Montreal - So amazing to get an introduction to downtown Montreal from a local who shared the perfect blend of rich history, silly facts, navigation and tourist tips, and cultural norms. He talked about how current day cultures meld, great food tips and things to avoid, Quebec province lore and much more. What a wonderful way to get our bearings, everyone in our group enjoyed different parts of the experience and enjoyed sharing some laughs and learning condensed in a short late morning stroll.

Great tour of Montréal. - We had a nice time on our tour today! Jeff was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us all over Montréal, a great mix of indoors outdoors, sharing his knowledge of both historical and current facts about the city. He even threw in some funny jokes along the way! It’s evident he really enjoys giving tours and teaching others about the city!

Excellent tour - Our tour guide, who was born and raised in Montreal, was very knowledgeable and made the tour educational and fun. She maneuvered our group around the snowy, somewhat slushy streets, with ease, taking us in and out of the RESO.

Worth the Time - Carolina aka Woman LOL has a great sense of humor which made this walking tour fun as well as informative. We meandered through the labyrinth of underground tunnels stopping at various historical sites. I highly recommend.

Underground maze yet amazed experience. - Great network with shops and restaurants but complex as has many connections and different levels but a good escape from the rather cold weather and snow walking at road level.

Underground passageways! Don’t get your hopes up. - It’s cold -1c and snowy. And you’re told not to go outside instead walk through the underground passageways. Awesome!! In reality, the websites and so called “maps” are 100% ineffective. Each time we thought, ok we’ve it this time!! We don’t. We’ve traveled to many countries but none as confounding as Quebec and the city of Montreal!
