What you'll do

Get ready to uncover all the secrets of Canada’s quaint European-influenced city set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River. You won’t even need to know a word of French when you have a local insider to follow down historic cobblestone streets cutting through the heart of the city. Explore incredible locations like Vieux-Port de Montréal, an old port used as early as 1611 by French fur traders, and soak up more of the city’s unique heritage on centuries-old streets that look like a slice of Europe. Discover the diverse flavors of Québécois cuisine, from poutine to fresh bagels (and even pizza in the charming Little Italy neighborhood) and browse trendy boutiques in Mile End, where sunset draws crowds for cocktails and ice-cold craft beer.

Where you’ll go

In the heart of Montreal, where a colorful history has created a multicultural melting pot, you’ll discover the city’s best-kept secrets with a local host. Stroll through the youthful and laid-back Plateau area lined by charming townhouses and popular hangouts, then stroll west for two miles through the vibrant Mile End neighborhood, popping into indie stores and buzzing brunch spots. From here, if you’re peckish, you might seek out some of the city’s best food (and Canada’s finest maple syrup) at Jean-Talon Market, where growers, butchers, and fishmongers display their best produce, before ending your experience relaxing with your host at the Dieu du Ciel! brew-pub – a local institution Montrealers flock to when it’s time to wind down.

Reviews

    A 6 1/2 hour walk around Montreal — we saw everything. Pierre was a terrific guide - interesting, knowledgeable. He took us everywhere we wanted to see plus places only a local would know. My only advice is to access the tour directly through City Unscripted. Viator is HORRIBLE and will be happy to rob you and ruin your vacation. Go direct to City Unscripted
