“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.”
Montreal hop-on hop-off double-decker pass covers Old Montreal, Chinatown, Mount Royal, plus an optional 2-hour night tour for $26.
“We always use hop on buses in all cities we go to. Often it’s just a running commentary with headphones. We liked this one because we had personal guides. Did the loop twice over two days and had different stories and info. It was fun. We did notice on the first trip we saw amazing houses on Mount Royal. The second time they skipped that. Don’t know why? It was a shame for the people that didn’t get to see them. Overall we find it’s the best way to get an overview of a city and understand the layout.”

Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour at 8 pm. 90 minutes of spooky history, costumed storytelling, and a small group walk from Place Royale to Bonsecours.
“Not what we expected. We were hoping for a historic ghost walking tour of old Montréal as advertised. Unfortunately too much time was spent on the theatrics and getting the group to participate in acting/skits while stopped at locations that the ghost stories were lost. We did complete the tour, but lost half of our group by the end due to disappointment with the tour. Kids on this tour also did not make this experience enjoyable. We would not recommend this tour and are quite disappointed that one of our only evenings in Montréal was spent on this experience.”
