The QUEERSTORY Tour recalls the days when Montréal's LGBTQ2+ establishments were located in the west-end of downtown. Through true stories (we name names!) of struggle and triumph, we remember the horrible and the fabulous history of Montréal's queer people and institutions. You'll hear about the bars, the police raids, the parties, the cruising, the protests, the lives lost and the battles won that paved the way to today.

I’ve made the Queerstery Tour with Thom and I had an amazing time. It is mesmerizing how much knowledge he has. He got us back in time and made us realize not to take anything for granted.
Is a must do for ALL AUDIENCES… not only for queer people. It helps us understand the local queer community, but it also sheds light on how Montreal was shaped to be what it is today.
Thank you Thom for sharing all your knowledge with us! ❤️

Excellent storytelling, well thought out and emotionally compelling. Well paced walk with well timed rest stops. We had excellent company on our tour and wish we had exchanged numbers to connect-wish you all well!
I’m impressed and intrigued with the Québécois way of calling out equality and equity issues and demanding responsive action.

I've been to different walking tours in different countries and this was the best one for me so far. Thom was very knowledgeable, friendly and best of all, passionate about the stories he told of Montréal's queer history. I genuinely laughed and cried throughout the entire tour. Definitely an emotional roller coaster that I would highly recommend.

This is one of the best tours we have taken (and we have taken many through Viator)! Thom is so knowledgeable and so passionate about the history and important people of the LGBTQIA++ community in Montreal (and the world) and is able to convey that knowledge with enthusiasm. He has done research and interviews with some of the key participants over the years and is able to share what made these people stand up and lead, along with insights into their personalities. My wife, son and I found the tour fascinating and entertaining. Whether you have a particular interest in this topic or just want a more unique view of Montreal, I highly recommend you take this tour.

LGBTQ+ culture in Montreal is familiar in Le Village and Mile End -- so this Queerstory tour around Downtown was an unexpected and fabulous education! I very much appreciated a new exploration of the community's deeper roots, and how the tour represents each letter of the LGBTQIA2+ acronym.
Guide/tour owner Thom has done incredible research and interviews to represent the details about queer Montreal today, in the late 20th century, and all the way back to the early settlers. I was totally enthralled throughout the tour, and feel like I got a new, more historic perspective on LGBTQ+ Montreal.

How so many individuals, currently and past, have made life easier for LGBTQ+ today and Thom explained that history beautifully and thoroughly.

I’ve been living in Montreal for 7 months and this was my first walking tour. It was a really nice and emotional experience visiting the main queer historical spots of the city.
It gave me a new perspective of the city and places I’ve walked by so often.
The knowledge and passion of Thom, the tour guide, make this tour a must.
100% recommendable for visitors and locals.
