We start our Montréal walking tour by skipping the line at the Notre-Dame Basilica before wandering Vieux-Montréal. We’ll pop into some historic and architecturally gems to get an understanding of the district before heading out and leaving the tourist crowds behind.
We stroll through a segment of our interior or underground city. It’s the largest indoor network on the planet and lets us make our way to Chinatown for a quick snack as we get the skinny on the area.
Then it’s off to our old Red Light District, turned entertainment Mecca to see where the biggest festivals take place. We pop into a whacky often missed institution for a visit. Up Saint-Laurent boulevard, we check out half a dozen impressive works of art from Montréal’s MURAL Festival in the borough that is home to the highest concentration of artists in Canada.
With a coffee from a local third wave shop in hand we walk the hip parts of the lower Main before leaving you with a custom list of recommendations!!

5.00We had a great tour with Gabby, despite the fact that it was raining the entire time. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was nice enough to engage in conversation about many things Montreal, Quebec and Canada. She kept us going through the standard to our sites, but popped us into alcoves in buildings for some dry spells and deeper dives on the tourist sites. You certainly can do some of the tours with headphones and recorded tours, but seeing and hearing about Montreal through a local perspective is highly recommended.
Great mix of everything

4.00Great tour. Be prepared to walk but it wasn’t a hard walk. Very informative guide Mel was only too happy to answer all our questions. The basilica was beautiful inside and definitely worth it. Great mix of history, modern and old, and a bit of food tasting along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Well Worth the Time.

5.00Danny really made the tour come alive! He clearly knows how to balance being informative with keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging, which is a rare skill for a guide. It's not easy to make a rainy day enjoyable, but his energy and knowledge really seem to have kept the group in great spirits. Plus, his tips and insights about the city's hidden gems, like the vibrant areas of the Red Light District now buzzing with festivals, definitely show he’s more than just a guide—he’s a true Montreal enthusiast! If I were you, I’d definitely be recommending him to anyone visiting the city!
The best walking tour!
