Norman was a great guide! He was very well versed and knew the history. He gave us 3 ideas, Bar George, Brit & Chips and a bakery Olive & Goumando and all 3 were excellent! Oh Aura at Nortre Dame too, that was amazing! Good Job Norman. Len and Erin. Vancouver, BC

The tour was very interesting and the guide had lots of great comments and tips. There were stops and opportunities to get off the bus and see some spots by foot and use the restroom. It was a great way to see the city of Montreal. The only thing that disappointed me was that we were told the tour was pick-up at our hotel only an hour prior. But in actuality we could have joined the tour at the ticket office.

This was an amazing experience. Great way to know about the rich cultural heritage and places to visit in Montreal and Quebec. Our driver/tour guide Norman was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He ket us engaged all through the trip by telling us about the history, importance of each place we visited, the famous streets to visit, various settlements and cultures, etc. This trip was well worth the money. Booking with get your guide is so much easier and convenient. There were a few photo stops at Olympic stadium, Notre Dame basilica, Saint Joseph’s oratory and a beautiful viewpoint at Mount Royale. Our bus trip was so fun. Everyone should try this tour and then you’ll know exactly where to go during your vacation. If you want to explore Old Montreal on your own, you are free to leave the bus tour km between. A great tour overall and made so interesting by the driver/guide Norman.
