Thanks for a great intro to the city! - Our family of 5 really enjoyed our tour of Old Montreal (including the warehouse district and the port) with Frederic! We got lots of history, saw great architecture, saw a couple of things that reflected our particular interests, and scored a great recommendation for lunch. I had erroneously thought the Notre Dame Bascilica was part of the tour, but he recommended we do that separately which was the right decision based on how much time we spent there. Thanks for the great intro to a wonderful week in this beautiful city!
