“We had a great guide, Luis, who squeezed a lot of history into an hour and a half. We nearly froze to death though so it might be wise to add some warming stops along the way on very cold days. A good way to get a sense of the city before exploring it further.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 28 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $26

Walk Old Montreal for 90 minutes with an English-speaking local guide, taking in holiday lights, the World Trade Center’s Santa display, historic arcades, and Bonsecours Market. Guides such as Matthieu, Matt, Pierre, and Francois bring history, humor, and practical local tips to this small-group tour.

“A wonderful way to explore Old Montreal during the holidays! Though it was a bitterly cold night (-14c!) our guide made the tour possible by keeping us inside as much as possible. We explored the historic shopping arcades and beautiful buildings of Montreal and learned about the history of Christmas and the influence of the church in this fascinating region of Canada. Our guide was informative, friendly and fun - we even finished the tour with some delicious cheese and wine! Thoroughly recommended.”
