Excellent historical tour of Mile End and the surrounding area! Our guide was engaging and happy to answer questions, and the neighborhood is delightfully dense with Jewish history.

Our guide serrafina was superb. She had a deep knowledge of the history and dynamics of the growth of the Jewish community.

We took the Beyond the bagel - walking tour. It was excellent. Very knowledgable guide who provided a great deal of information about the food, Bagels, smoked meat ans much history besides. we learned ate and walked. Bring some small sandwich bags to store the goodies you may not be able to finish.

Having made many Jewish friends whose ancestors lived in Montreal, we were interested in discovering more about the old Jewish neighborhoods of the city. We were thrilled to walk in the steps of Mile End and the Plateau and hear the narratives of Jewish life and culture in these areas. Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable, organized, charming and enthusiastic about the history of the area. She carried supplemental images to further illuminate her subject matter, and displayed a broad understanding of Montreal's Jewish heritage. The tour was well paced and the itinerary was generally easy to navigate in these flat areas of town. Highly recommended!

Beyond the Bagel food tour. It was very informative, entertaining and delicious. Be really hungry and plan for lots of carbs on the tour. Our only thought would have been to try to find some other types of local Jewish foods -cabbage rolls, chopped liver, etc so not quite so carb heavy— and maybe half a bagel vs whole one at a stop—- but on the whole very well done and delicious.

An interesting tour covering the history of Jewish immigration and Jewish life in early Montreal and how the community changes over time.

Excellent guide. Interesting walk with much Montreal Jewish history, although the neighborhood has changed. It also provided a glimpse of Montreal outside the tourist zone. And it ended near Fairmont bagels!

Beyond the Bagel was beyond expectations. The leader was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and related topics about Jewish life in Montreal. She worked off a well-organized notebook, so even if you get someone other than Ella the key content can be presented. And the food was very good! If you don't eat beef, mention that in the registration allergy section so they can provide alternatives at the two delis. And they included a dairy item from a bakery between the deli visits, so if you are relatively strick in your kashrut you may want to hold that treat for later - the tour guide had bags for such needs and if you were too full to finish a treat!

Went on the “Exploring Hasidic Montreal: A Walking Tour” only one of a few offered this summer. Fascinating, interesting and in-depth tour of the history and life of Hasidic Jews in Montreal. The Musee offers excellent walking tours on a more regular basis. Definitely worth checking out to learn more about the Jewish history and culture of Montreal

We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide, A.J., was informative and lively. She gave lots of good info about the Jewish community and neighborhood. Since my grandparents lived there 1908 to 1920, I loved seeing it. The food samples were very generous and delicious.

Ella, our tour guide was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. The food was delicious (and there was a lot of it) and we learned so much and saw parts of Montreal we would otherwise have missed. Highly recommend!

Our guide was a bright and earnest young man, but he had a memorized speech that he ran through so fast that it was hard to digest. Too much information and not enough anecdotal info or interesting stories. He also didn’t know how to pronounce some of the Hebrew words.

This was an awesome food tour! We leaned a lot about the history of the Jewish population in Montreal and tried some incredible food — bagels, babka, smoked meat sandwiches. There is a lot of walking so small kids might get tired but our teenagers loved it. Our tour guide Ella was really enthusiastic and had a lot of interesting historical tidbits to share.

Nicolas was sweet and informative, and the sites selected were fascinating. We especially loved seeing the high school attended by Mordechai Richler! We would never have wandered all the Mile End streets on our own. I never knew Canada had the same red scare as we had in the U.S.

The rabbis, writers, and radicals tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and brought the former Jewish community community around St Laurent to life, including its feuds, its luminaries, and its daily life. It was a great way to get to know the city in a different way.
