Your local host will kickstart your trip by leading you off the tourist trail down a secret network of cobblestoned streets to parts of Montreal your guidebook doesn’t even know about. Learn about the European roots of the city, and discover the unique Québécois food and peculiar shops loved by locals in Plateau and Mile End. Explore markets, where growers, butchers, and fishmongers display their best produce. Relax in the enchanting Mount Royal Park and practice your French as you amble up to one of Montreal’s most popular viewpoints to see the city.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Shubham was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable with the history of Montreal. We visited various sites to ensure I had well-rounded experience in the city. He was personable, considerate and patient with me.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day seeing sites. My favorite was the Habor and the underground city.

My issue is with communication, or lack thereof. I attempted to contact my guide (website ‘contact your guide’) BEFORE booking, to ask a question. With some effort, I was able to message the guide (indirectly - everything appears to have to go through the company). I received 1 reply, informing me she was able to accommodate my requirements for pick up and drop off. I could NOT do the walking tour as advertised. Based on the reply, I booked the 2 hour tour of Montreal for Oct 30 on Oct 28. I attempted to contact Withlocals, both the company AND the guide using their website links on numerous occasions, to confirm my questions regarding luggage (we were coming off a cruise). The only reply was confirming the payment and the booking. No other response to all my repeated questions. By afternoon Oct. 29, I gave up and cancelled the booking. Their cancellation policy is no refund within 7 days of tour. There was virtually NO customer contact/service/answers after payment/booking and little interaction BEFORE booking.

We had a delightful tour of Montreal with Germaine who highlighted the historical and architectural history of Montreal Old Town and moved on to downtown, McGill University and Mont Royal for a wonderful view of the city.

Our group consisted of 4 adults, 2 of whom had never been to Montreal and were eager to explore the sites. When we completed the pre-tour questionnaire (which we thought was a great way to provide insight into our requests and expectations), we indicated we were interested in the history of the city and the sites we selected for inclusion in the tour. Our tour guide, Sayora, though delightful, admitted that she had no knowledge of the city’s history. She was also unfamiliar with the city’s geography, and spent almost the entire time using Google Maps (or some other GPS app) to navigate our route. We spend far more time walking to our destinations than visiting them.
We requested that the Notre Dame Basilica be included in our tour. We arrived there at 4:00, just as they were closing (as indicated on their website). The ticket agent explained that if we’d pre-purchased tickets, we’d have been allowed entry. I would have expected Sayora to have this information and make arrangements for the purchase in advance. Fortunately, upon seeing our profound disappointment, the ticket agent made an exception and allowed us entry.
We could VERY easily have accomplished all that we did with Sayora without her assistance, and without spending >$300.

Great introduction tour to the city. Customized to what you’d like to see and as much or as little walking as you want. We did about 7 miles but was able to see and become familiar in many different areas of the city that we plan on revisiting later in our trip. Our guide May was awesome.
