    Get an insider’s take on Old Montreal during this guided walking tour, which lets you leave the navigating to someone else. Choose a shorter walk of either the east or west sides, or a longer walk that covers both. Through your guide’s commentary, come to understand the history, culture, and architecture of the city. Highlights include the Notre-Dame Basilica (admission ticket included), Champ de Mars, City Hall, Bonsecours Market, and Place Jacques-Cartier.

    Excellent overview of Old Montreal - did East & West

    Very worthwhile walking tour. A great mix of history, architecture and interesting facts about Montreal. The morning tour, break and then afternoon tour was perfectly timed. Despite the terrible weather (pouring rain and 40 degrees), we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and Sarah was fantastic.

    East Side Old Montreal w/Pierre

    It was a cold/windy day, but we still enjoyed our walking tour of the east side of Old Montreal. Our guide was Pierre and he was excellent, giving us a great background on the city, it's beginnings, it's history. Would highly recommend.
