4.00Emily was a terrific guide. She was very nice and was knowledgeable about the stops on our tour. She answered many questions. One suggestion- It would have been nice if the tour built in one or two additional resting stops- it was a bit much for a hot day.
Great tour!

5.00I joined this guided walking tour through Mile End and the Plateau. The guide, Emily, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about providing a rich and fascinating tour. Highlights included visits to former synagogues, bakeries, and iconic buildings and street murals. Emily took time to explain why each place we visited would have been significant to the Montreal Jewish community. What was particularly interesting was to hear about various Jewish groups in the city and the challenges they faced in navigating differences! One point of interest was to see where Mordechai Richler went to high school. Another was to learn more about Yiddish culture in the city and to see where Ida Maze, the "Den Mother" of Yiddish Montreal, held her salons. Getting to see the original YMHA and to hear about its importance in improving the lives of the "downtowners" also stood out for me. The walking pace was comfortable and I had time to take plenty of great photos. I especially appreciated how the Emily connected past and present, showing how Jewish traditions still influence the neighbourhood today. Caveat emptor: be prepared for a fair bit of walking; good sneakers are a must. Overall, I’d give this tour 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Montréal’s Jewish cultural history, architecture lovers, or visitors looking for an off‑beat experience. I'm sure all the guides are great, but if you get Emily, you're in for a real treat!

5.00This was a terrific tour that brought our multi-generational group (young adult and parents) through a part of Montreal that we would not have known to explore. How interesting to peer through side alleys and to see storefronts and inscriptions that gave us insights into 20th century writers, thinkers, and drivers behind Montreal's Jewish community! Our guide Vivian was lively and engaging, and she was patient and knowledgeable when it came to any question that came up.

5.00What an extraordinary tour this was! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that everyone could hear her and that we were engaged with our surroundings. Next time I'm in Montreal, I will take a different tour from the Museum of Jewish Montreal. Make sure you stop in at the Fisher's Sewing/Notions shop, which is where the tour began and is now owned by the museum. As a sewer, it was facinating to see this shop and hear about the family who owned the store for about 100 years.
