The guide was excellent, a lot of anecdotes. Good overview of the city. A shame however that we did not see anything of Saint Joseph's Oratory (see photo) and of the Mount Royal Park.

Excellent tour guide and driver. Fewer destinations than I would like to have seen but the road closures might have impacted that. Very comfortable bus. Good opportunities to get out and take pictures and the stop at the farmers market was a treat. We never carry cash so were unprepared to tip. Could your guides and drivers offer Venmo?

Better route than the hop on hop off tour as you get more of a feel for the whole city.

We had a fantastic time with Francois and our driver on the heart of city tour of Montreal. He was very knowledgeable and humorous. The tour stopped at the old town where we go out and walked to the front of the Notre Dame Basilica, a must see in Montreal. Afterwards we got back on the bus and travelled through the city passing by several attractions and made another stop at the farmer’s market. We spent about 30-45 mins and then continued to the Olympic stadium. We made a quick stop just for photos. The continued our journey through the city and made another stop at Mount Royal park. We also got out of the bus for photos and then continued to our final stop passing by several other attractions. It took about 3.5hrs. It was a great tour all around.
