Greater Montreal 5-hour VIP Guided City Tour

Posted By : John B
Despite the rainy day, we had a great tour with Jason- he even had umbrellas for us. We toured several churches and Jason was very informative about each one. He directed us to a fantastic bagel shop for a quick snack as well as a city market for lunch. We learned a lot about Montreal

The worst tour we have ever been on!!
We have used Viator on many tours, but on this occasion, this one was contracted out to a company called Concord Tours in Montreal. The tour guide and his driver were on time at our hotel. We went to all the highlighted stops in the itenary.
Experience Greater Montreal -- virtually no pointing out or explaining what
we were seeing.
* Place Ville Marie & the famous underground shopping center - short walk, did
not see much of the mall and back to the bus.
* Mount Royal & St-Joseph Oratory -- was beautiful. The pipe organic is
spectacular.
* Old Montreal & Old Port -again just pointing and telling us that is the Old
Port area. Short walk -- pointing out a statue with a fence around
it. really did not know the importance of the statue to Montreal's
history.
Another stop was a view point, with a short walk to the view point. Tour guide walked part way, then told us the driver would take us to the top. Where the driver was so excited, taking video's from all around. Speaking his language which was not French or English , as he videoed the views. Not a word to us. Left there without a clue what we were seeing. While we were on the bus from the very beginning, the driver and tour guide spoke to each other continuously in their language -- rarely acknowledging we were paying customers (4) in the mini van. Twice we had to wait while the guide finished his cigarette.
At the end of the tour, felt like we had been royally ripped off. And
not any wiser to Montreal's history. We passed the old Montreal Expo's
ball field, asked if that is what we were seeing. Reply: oh yes.
Complained to Viator, were forwarded to the contractor who refused to refund any monies. Finally had to get back to Viator and demand that we get a refund from them, they can deal with their contractor!! Finally got 1/2 our money back -- if we had known where we were we would of abandoned the tour and gone back to Old Montreal and explored on our own. Half a day of our lives we will never get back!!

We were so glad that we took this tour, during that freaking freezing day, it was way better than just taking a taxi by ourself. They offered the hotel pick up service which is so convient for us, and on the way to L'Oratory, the guide told us the history about the city and some hidden places only the locals know. We'd love to share this experience with our friends, highly recommended.
