A 210-minute bilingual bus tour of Montreal with skyline views, Old Montreal strolls, McGill stops, Chinatown, Olympic Park, and more.
“Francis was an amazing tour guide there wasn’t a question about Montreal that he couldn’t answer. The driver Salle drove the bus smoothly through narrow Montreal streets. It was worth the money I felt as a newcomer to Montreal it’s the best way to be introduced to the city.”

“The staff and ziplines were great. Only negative was it was a very misty day and we could barely see our hands in front of our faces. Missed a lot of the view. Not companies fault.”
Old Montreal food tour with 8+ tastings, history stops, and a beer or drink. Small group, 3 hours, 4.8-star rated.

A 90-minute Montreal history cruise on the St. Lawrence, with bilingual narration, skyline views, and optional happy hour drink.
“This trip was a bait and switch and false advertisement. It was advertised as a 1.5 hour Montreal History Guided Sightseeing Cruise, but it was in reality a 3.5 hour cruise with no guide. We were stuck on this boat for 3.5 hours with crappy food and drinks for sale being foisted on us, most of it in the dark with no view. And to top it off, half the boat was cordoned off to us due to a private party. Total rip off.”
Ride Montreal by bike through Old Montréal, Old Port, and the Plateau, with guided history, bagel tasting, and bike time after the tour.
“This tour was the best in comparison to all the others we have done so far (different cities). This was not only due to the route and the city, it was much more due to the guide. He was great, humorous, he made sure the groups stayed together and made everyone feel like a member. Super tour super guide, thank you for this great experience.”
