Connie was extremely kind and knew Montreal in great detail having grown up there. She was accommodating as we made some changes from the original plan and showed me different areas that I would not have known to see otherwise. I'd definitely go on another tour with her someday!

Beatrice, our guide, was very attentive and responsive to our preferences and pacing, as one of us had a bad knee. She knew her stuff and gave recommendations for later.
