★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 823 reviews · 10 hours · from $91Our pick

Montreal to Mont-Tremblant in a 10-hour day trip with a bilingual guide, scenic village stops, and flexible free time in the Laurentians.

“An excellent opportunity to explore beautiful area of Laurentian mountains. We loved our time at Mont Treblant, would prefer to have more time in the village. Three hours are not quite enough to experience everything it has to offer. If you want to do the gondola to the top if the mountain, do it first.”

Montreal maple syrup tour to Chez Dany sugar shack for syrup-making, tasting, and a full Quebec lunch with tire d’érable and maple taffy.

“Cette excursion ne vaut pas la peine hors saison du sirop d’érable. Premier arrêt : un restaurant qui sert les classiques, soupe, jambon, pommes de terre sautées, omelettes, pancakes avec du sirop à volonté. Tout irait encore, sauf qu’on nous y laisse presque deux heures. Je m’attendais à une jolie forêt pour patienter ; en réalité, le lieu est dans une zone rurale, entourée de maisons et de champs. Aucune visite de la forêt d’érables, aucune démonstration de récolte. J’ai passé près d’une heure assise à attendre la suite. La boutique propose des souvenirs « authentiques » qu’on trouve bien moins chers à Montréal. Deuxième arrêt : Trois-Rivières, une heure…”
