First time in old Montreal, and wanted to experience the area differently, and saw this one hour tour. The tour was good, the tour guide provided great history details even answered all our questions. We had a really great time.

Was visiting Montreal with my daughter and family. She surprised my husband and me with this tour. Emerson was so knowledgeable and super nice. The vintage car was an extra special treat. Highly recommend for everyone and especially for those who have limited mobility - wonderful way to see the sites.

A few points you should know before booking ... we did the three hour tour - way too long! Not enough sights to see. Stick to just one hour. But another good reason to do just an hour is ... the car we were in was NOT comfortable. Yes, it's old - we understood that, but the car's seat padding needed to be refurbished, it was just too worn down and thin. It was apparent at least in our case, that the exterior looked well taken care of but the interior really needed some help and the car needed a full tune-up; not sure how safe it was!
Its also good to remember that the seats don't adjust so the only roomy seat for someone with long legs, is up front. And definitely don't try to cram 4-5 people in the car - really uncomfortable. I suggest just 3; meaning only two in the back, otherwise you are in for a rough ride.
We really liked the idea of touring in a vintage car, but the reality wasn’t that great. Our guide was really interested in promoting his favorite restaurants and was very opinionated rather than just telling us the story of the city. Didn’t appreciate his swearing either. Overall it was OK, but definitely don’t go for more than a hour!

We had the best time with Emerson during our Throwback Tour of Old Montreal! He is fun, knowledgeable, and personable! My husband and I, along with my mother-in-law (nicknamed Connie J. on the tour, you know what I’m talking about, Emerson) and her friend, spent an enjoyable hour+ with Emerson touring Old Montreal. The day and time we had originally scheduled to go on the tour was iffy due to the weather, and Emerson was super flexible and communicative about working us in when it would be sunny/nice. He made sure to hit the highlights regarding the history and culture of the old city, and entertained us with personal and local stories. Our time with him ended all too soon. I can’t recommend Emerson and Throwback Tour enough. You won’t be sorry!! Trust me—you will laugh, you will cry (be moved), and you won’t get hurt at all! :)
