Excellent tour of old town Montreal
RONALD_S, May 2024
Francois was superb, enthusiastic, humorous, knowledgeable and a great ambassador for conveying the greatness of old town Montreal. Recommend highly. By the end of the tour you feel like you have learned the history, architecture, and more importantly the people of the city.

Incredible Tour
Joseph_G, Mar 2024
We booked a private tour and were lucky enough to have a terrific tour guide, Stacey. We are from USA and immediately Stacey began the tour by flawlessly sharing historical, cultural, architectural, and culinary knowledge of Quebec and Canada to its relationship with Europe and USA. Catering to our curiosity of art, food, history and culture she did an excellent tour of Old Montreal. We walked away with so many valuable perspectives and details that the 2 hours seemed like a minute. Highly recommend this tour and Stacey.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Bonjour Joseph, We are so happy you had a wonderful experience with Stacey! We thank you for the great review and hope to have you visit us again soon! Best, Guidatour's team.

Fun tour, great value
Katie_S, Jan 2024
Pierre was great! We were traveling with a bunch of kids and it was a very cold day. He was super patient to our needs and took care to plan the trip with warm up stops and was patient with our needs (bathroom breaks, other misc kid stops). Pierre was interesting and engaging and very pleasant. This was a great trip and a super good value!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Bonjour Katie, We are very happy you had a good experience with Pierre. Thank you for letting us know how it went. Best, Guidatour's team.
A perfect start to a MTL visit
Jon_G, Dec 2023
Luc provided a perfect start to our stay in Montreal. Many of themes he hit on such as the duality between French and Anglos that characterize the city were observable throughout our visit. He was very engaging with our kids and when we were getting a bit cold and wanted to wrap up with an orientation to modern highlights (eg the best shops, cafes/restaurants, and attractions with family kids) to check out, he was super accommodating and his suggestions were spot on. Not only did Luc provide an awesome tour but every other part of our trip was enhanced by his insight and recommendations. Well organized and tons of fun!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Bonjour Jon, Thank you for this great review! We'll make sure to let Luc know how much you and your family enjoyed the experience. Best, Guidatour's team.

Rodrigo was an excellent tour guide, and lovely man. It was especially nice because it turned out to be only my husband and I on the tour. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Montreal and its architecture.

A great way to learn about the city!
Kristen_T, Sep 2023
Katharine was an excellent guide! She knew so much about the city and I feel like we saw and heard about so many things we would have otherwise walked right by! Her personality was friendly and engaging. Doing a private tour really allows you the freedom to see what you want to see and ask all the questions. Thank you Katharine for a great afternoon!
