Jeff May 2025

Really enjoyed it! Connie was very knowledgable and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Natalie-ann Apr 2025

Connie was early, adapted to the late opening of some of the attractions, was informative and friendly and followed up with more information on things we had discussed after our tour.

Lisa Aug 2024

Connie was great! She did a wonderful job at taking me around the highlights of old Montreal. She suggested I purchase a ticket to see L'expérience AURA à la basilique Notre-Dame as it often sells out and thankfully I did! She also gave great tips for other places to see and do. Highly recommend Connie!

Christine Aug 2024

I would highly recommend Subham for this tour. He was very personable, knowledgable and friendly. He gave us great recommendations and was flexible/paced the tour to our needs. He really made our first trip to Montreal memorable.
