Exceptional tour! - Moustafa, our tour guide, was exceptional! His knowledge of the history of Montreal and Quebec really brought the city to life. He also covered many eating areas and tourist spots that made us more aware of places we’d like to visit. This tour is a must if you wish to cover the majority of Montreal in one day. Moustafa was very personable and accommodating, and I would highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money and time!

A Perfect Montreal Experience - !We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Montreal on the Best of Montreal Small Group Tour with River Cruise. Bill our tour guide made it unforgettable! From the moment we met him, Bill was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so many fascinating stories about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, all while keeping the energy light and engaging. The pace of the tour was perfect, not rushed at all, Bill was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. The small group format allowed for a more personal experience, and we appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and get great local recommendations. Seeing the city from the water offered a completely different perspective, calm, scenic, and just beautiful. Bill went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top-notch. If you’re visiting Montreal and want a well-rounded, memorable tour with a guide who truly loves what he does, don’t miss this one!
