Your tour will begin with a drive through Westmount on your way to Mount Royal. Along the way, you’ll pass by the famous St. Joseph’s Oratory, Canada’s largest church. At Mount Royal, you will take in beautiful views of the city skyline and nature and snap some pictures while you’re there.

Next, you will head to Notre-Dame Basilica. This magnificent Gothic Revival style church features incredible architecture and impressive stained glass window displays adorn the interior.

Your final stop on the tour is the Old Port of Montreal where you will board a St. Lawrence River Cruise (Seasonal). For 90 minutes, you’ll enjoy a relaxing ride on the river, taking in incredible views of the city and learning about the area’s fascinating history.

Following the tower, your guide will drop you off back at your downtown accommodations.

The tour was well organized, communication prior to the tour was excellent and our guide was extraordinary! We had plenty of time at each stop. Historical and geographic information was given.

Moustafa was an incredible tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about Montreal's history and a great story teller as well. We had a great experience the entire tour.

Our tour was on 25 May and we paid 300+ dollars each for this tour, which was actually only two of us. The guide was just like a driver who dropped us off at 3 places - Mount Royal, Norte Dame and the river cruise - and then we did pretty much self-guided tour. The whole tour was very different to the itinerary description and badly organised and boring, most of time was spent on the road. A lot of key attractions in the old Montreal should have been covered as part of the guided tour, but we didn’t have the opportunity to visit and needed to go back and revisit in our own time. As a result, I asked for a 50% partial refund.

We did not end up participating in this tour as it did not actually include the boat trip (as advertised). The tour operator was kind enough to refund us but I highly recommend that the title not include “boat trip” during those months of the year (December - May) that the boats are not operational.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the city and especially about St. Joseph's Basilica, and we got to try the best bagels in the city and ride the ferris wheel.

If I was able to leave 'less then 1 star' I would.

Where to start?

Firstly, company entirely unresponsive when simply trying to agree where they were going to pick us up from. I finally got confirmation 5 hours before the trip started having booked it some 6 weeks before.

Then the fun really started! Driver, who has lived in Montreal for 3 months, from overseas, went to the wrong hotel but insisted we were in the wrong location. After 20 mins of heated conversation he agreed he was about 4km away from us in an entirely wrong location. He finally arrived now 45 mins late in a different car from what we were told. The car was dirty, with crisps over the seat and a horrible stale tobacco odour. The worst Uber would have been an improvement. No remorse of regret from Yas our driver. Still we stayed. When asked what the hold up was, he told us there was a problem with another party and we were going to have to reroute to sort that out!

That was the final straw, we made the decision to leave the tour (now an hour late) . The company phoned us and said they would issue a refund but we'd have to go via Viator. Some 15 mins on a phone call we've now been informed that they won't do as we broke our 'T and C's.' Viator chasing. I will seek recovery from my credit card company if a refund isn't duly made

The tour was great. Yashica was awesome. He worried about his English, but it was fine and always understood him. He was so polite and such a gentleman. The boat cruise was our favorite part on this tour.

Bill picked us up right on time. After he loaded 6 of us into the van, he explained our itinerary for the day. Very knowledgeable about every stop we made. Was very kind with our one person who had a disability. Recommend this tour highly Cruise was very relaxing. St Joseph Oratory and the story was interesting. Notre Dame basilica was breathtaking.

Unfortunately there was a lot of confusion about our pick up sight. No logo on too small vehicle or guide’s shirt. No narrative by guide,who was only in Montreal 2weeks ,except at stops. Boring boat ride. Guide was very pleasant just not knowledgeable. Vehicle very difficult for older people to enter and exit. Also door had mechanical issues. Not worth the price. Could have been so much more with proper vehicle and knowledgeable guide.
