What My Guests Think of Me

Connie was a great tour guide. She completely arranged the tour to our specifications. We had fun and learned a lot and went to some great places. We would’ve never visited on our own. I highly recommend Connie!

Brings Stories & Places to Life

Italian food enthusiast and local market explorer with an insider’s knowledge of Montréal’s vibrant La Petite Italie and its rich cultural heritage.

Hi, I’m Bernardo

Montreal

From Place d’Armes (Bank of Montreal vs Notre-Dame Basilica) to the English Pug and French Poodle, I enjoy how contrasts shape meaning. Montreal feels like an open-air museum where every block hides art. I love wandering unfamiliar neighborhoods, slipping into buildings I’ve never entered, and discovering art in unexpected places, including ruelles vertes, old alleys turned into small gardens and urban art spaces. I know Downtown, Old Montreal, the Village and the Underground City well, but I still enjoy getting lost. I point out animal footprints in old bricks, 450-million-year-old fossils, metro art in every station, and Saint-Laurent’s 10 km linguistic border between French and English. Public transport is my moving gallery of art, views, and shortcuts I’ve learned the fun way.

Hi, I’m Karina

Montreal

What I love most about this city is the way it balances nature, history, and culture. From the peaceful trails and stunning viewpoints of Mount Royal Park to the historic streets of Old Montréal, there's always something fascinating to discover. I'm passionate about heritage conservation and love how Montréal protects its green spaces and historic character while embracing its vibrant multicultural communities. You'll often find me exploring neighbourhoods like La Petite Italie, Parc-Extension, and Downtown, tasting authentic dishes from around the world and uncovering local stories along the way. Whether we're wandering through bustling markets, exploring hidden paths on Mount Royal, or navigating the Underground City, I'm excited to help you experience Montréal like a local.

Kyoko was so kind and welcoming! She brought us to everywhere we had requested and then was so patient with our “on the go” places we wanted to stop. She brought our 14 year old son to so many special spots that were represented in Jujutsu Kaisen, and she was very personable along the way. She made public transportation look easy, and she knew exactly how to make our day special!!

Joe

Yuka is very engaging & knowledgable. Her insights during the tour were well spoken. Her casual style made it very easy to ask questions and receive informative answers. Enjoyed the tour!

Our host for our Nagasaki tour was Miki, she was great. Prior to our tour she communicated often with us in preparation for our tour. She helped us use the bus to get around town. We espcially liked visiting the Atomic Bomb gardens and museum, although very sobering. We had an instant connection with Miki as we are from Washington State and Miki had attended the University of Washington. We will be returning to Nagasaki in two weeks and Miki provided us a list of additional things we could see and do on our return. It was a great day for us and the rain even held off for us. We highlt reconmend this tour and hope you get Miki as your tour guide.
