I am fluent in English, French, Spanish, and can use Portuguese in a slow conversation. A tour with me will be filled with tidbits/facts about Montreal's history, and its best spots, many hidden ones. With jokes and anecdotes of all kinds. I like to make people from around the world fall in love with Montreal. I am a Montreal enthusiast, know it well, walked it, biked it, 'bus and subwayed' it. I am a fan of history and geography. I have traveled a lot around the world (USA, Europe, Latin America, Africa... my photo was taken in rural Rwanda) and attended many guided tours as a client. If you enjoy history, parks, scenic views, coffee, food, old buildings, narrow streets, walking around, to discuss friendly with the guide about Montreal, the Quebec province, Canada, and would love to visit the best spots and hidden jewels in Montreal, crafted on your own tastes, with the kids or not, I am the smiling guide for you.
