The tours we did on 10-15 did what we wanted. We first took the full loop and then went back to our hotel. We then took a second tour and got off on Old Town, but the return bus came early and we had to wait a half an hour for the next one. We would have walked around but were afraid of missing the bus. There also were some hiccups. The trip did not always match the itinerary on the website. For example the bassilica of Notre Dame was not visited and there is no Chinatown stop per se. . Also, the stops were out of order )the listed stop 3 was really stop two). Also our 10 am tour guide was horrific. The other two guides were great. I would not tale the first tour (10am) because it's crowded. Also, if you wait for a less crowded tour, the guide may speak only in English. The French/English back and forth can be confusing. If you plan to sit on top in the spring or fall, wear layers. The first level is perfectly fine and less noisy. if you get off before the Mount Royale loop (i.e. before the the Museum of Art), and don't want to ride for the hour left, get off at the Museum of Art stop. It's just a ten minute walk back to where the tour starts. Be prepared for the guides to ask for tips, so make sure you have small bills. I ended up giving one guide a twenty (the guide was in fact terrific). The t[ps are supposedly shared among the drivers.

Buses were clean and comfortable. Guides were also very clear.

It was very difficult to hear the tour guide.

Tour guides are friendly and watch out for seniors. Convenient to get to and see attractions.

Francois was a great host. He was entertaining while pointing out lots of highlights. Our driver was helpful with a recommended lunch spot, Rueben’s on St. Catherine’s street. Excellent.

A great way to experience the vibe of discovery. Each guide provided information that one cannot pick up from a printed page.
