Very well organized tour - The tour guides Jules and Mounit were both very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Montreal in a few hours. I recommend this tour to anyone who visits Montreal and don’t want to drive!

We can highly recommend Viator - Fran, our guide, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing Montréal with us. She did a good job, however, she picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at a spot unfamiliar to us. Finding our way back to our hotel was a challenge.

Passable - Good description of early ethnic and religious settlements and trends. Not much on political, economic or architectural development.
