Worth it!

Very nice & friendly guide! Raphael was able to put our group at ease with his great sense of humor and his ability to adapt the tour to people with different limits (language barriers, slow walkers, kids,...). The tour gives a complete overview of Old Montreal and relevant historical facts. Fully satisfied!

Great tour guide ~ very informative with a sense of humor!

We had to switch to the 2:30 tour on July 2 because of lack of participants for the 10:30 tour. Very accommodating with the switch. Our guide was wonderful! He was so interesting and had a wonderful sense of humor! Thank you ~ enjoyed learning about some of the history of Old Montreal.
