We were 2 on a rainy, cold Wednesday for the 10.30 tour, starting at City Hall (hotel de ville). Stephanie, our guide, was fantastic. She added her charm and dramatic flair to the tour and found little alcoves where we could shelter in. A great blend of history, facts and visual highlights. Highly recommended.

Great tour

She charmed us with her dramatic flair and blend of history, facts and knowledge. Nothing too strenuous; a good pace was maintained with some indoor stops. We went to lunch at Crew Cafe afterwards. Highly recommended.

We’re delighted you joined our tour! It’s great to know the experience gave you a taste of the city’s character and history. We’d love to see you again on another Secret Food Tour somewhere around the world.
Great walking tour- perfect length of time and good balance of walking and talking!
Stephanie was a very animated and entertaining guide. She gave us lots of great information, kept us on time, tried to find us covered areas as much as possible ( it was raining), and gave us lots of personal recommendations. We would strongly recommend this tour.

Great Tour
Our tour guide Darren gave us an excellent tour. We booked this having only one day in the city travelling from the UK on a cruise ship. Darren was both entertaining and informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the Tour. Can highly recommend.

Hello,
We abandoned the guided tour a little bit after it started as we found it a very bad tour.
The guide was quite unprofessional and annoying, telling us much more details about her personal life (like the destination of her daughter's erasmus), and her personal views (not flattering) about the current mayor of the city, than about the story of Old Montreal.
We found the tour to be very much US-oriented, with the guide depicting the wonders of the English system for Canada. We found this vision to be totally biased and not objective, which we would not expect from an official guide (she presented her as such).
We even requested a reimbursement of our 10 dollars reservations fee, but the company doesn't reply to our emails.
Outstanding tour with Darren! I’ve traveled a bit. Love taking a tour early in my stay anywhere to get the lay of the land, etc. I paid for private guides, taken bike tours, free tours, etc. hands-down, one of the best ever. Very informative, funny, full of tips to set you straight for the rest of your trip!
