Fun, informative walk through Old Montreal with a fantastic guide
Davecia_C, October 2026
Our guide Sebastian made this tour a real highlight of our trip. He was fun and upbeat, and kept everything fresh and interesting from start to finish. We learned a lot about the history of the city without it ever feeling like a lecture.
The pace was relaxed and the walking wasn't strenuous at all, so it's a great option for anyone who wants to explore without wearing themselves out. The tour covered all the important sites in Old Montreal, and the neighbourhood itself is just beautiful.
We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Sebastian!
