Montreal Unveiled: Beyond the Basilica's Secret History

Excellent tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining! Dress warmly if it’s winter and wear good shoes so you’re prepared

This was by far the best tour we took here to date, she was extremely well versed in the area and was a pleasure to get to know during the tour, lots of walking and a couple hills so wear proper shoes and prepare for the weather of montreal. Bao buns were AMAZING super great spot. We loved everything about this tour and the stuff we learned along the way 10/10

Gabby was incredible - great, clear communicator with very relaxed, cheerful energy. Was flexible and adaptable when positioning us in busy areas, improvising easily, and she really knew her stuff! We loved learning the stories of the basilica architect as well as Chinatown and the Anglo / Franco relationship. We now know more about Montreal than our sister who lives there LOL! All this while being extremely professional and punctual. Give this girl a raise!

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Gabriella was a wonderful tour guide and was very knowledgeable about Montreal. We were able to explore some cool neighborhoods, have some wonderful bao in China Town, and got many local tips We would highly recommend!

Danny was a great tour guide and made every stop interesting and filled the tour with lots of unknown facts. His love for his home city of Montreal is evident , as he guides you effortlessly around , even in the November cold, explaining the history & each landmark & highlight. Plus the added stop in Chinatown for a “bao” was such be a great surprise! The tour was chock full of information and unique stops , e.g., the murals scattered around the city , a super funky thrift shop with a big history behind it! He definitely brought the city of Montreal alive to all of us.

Our tour guide Danny was funny and friendly, making sure the group was having fun and learning so much about Montreal. Highlight of my trip! Definitely recommend for anyone’s first time here.

I go on many different tours in different cities when I travel for work. Without a doubt, the tour with Chris was one of the best. It's a lot of walking, which I enjoyed. A small group. Great conversation. I learned so much about Montreal. I wasn't even looking forward to seeing the art on the buildings and that ended up being a favorite and unique part of the tour!

Rufus did a fabulous job and kept the group entertained. Great event to learn the city especially with a teenager. He did a fabulous job remembering all of the guests and pulling each into the conversation.

So glad we did this! Chris (our tour guide) was really friendly and knowledgable, it felt like we were going for a stroll with a friend rather than a formal tour. It was a small group (10) so we could hear everything and had plenty of time. We went as a family and our two kids (age 10 and 12) really enjoyed it as well.

We had a great tour with Gabby, despite the fact that it was raining the entire time. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was nice enough to engage in conversation about many things Montreal, Quebec and Canada. She kept us going through the standard to our sites, but popped us into alcoves in buildings for some dry spells and deeper dives on the tourist sites. You certainly can do some of the tours with headphones and recorded tours, but seeing and hearing about Montreal through a local perspective is highly recommended.
