Great job but almost too information, lots of talking and would have liked to see more areas. Almost info overload, great you know so much but can be overwhelming.

The East and West tour of Old Montreal was exceptional. Our guide Thomas was amazing. He was knowledgable, funny and could relate to all ages. Our family of four, with two teenagers, had a wonderful time. We highly recommend!

Everything was memorable from start to finish. Frederic is an outstanding guide, traversing multiple languages to make sure all guests knew what they were looking at and learning. We did both the East and West tours, and each had its own flavor and nuances, and provided a good overall perspective and history of Montreal. I highly recommend these tours to everyone traveling to the city. Bonne annee, Frederic and team!
