A must do - Sylvia was stellar, knowledgeable and made the tour all the more exciting
Highly recommend. If you're in Montreal, you cannot do this on your own, as you won't have access to all of the information

Amazing experience - Jeff was an amazing tour guide!! Very great sense of humor and engaged everybody in our tour! Would absolutely recommend booking this trip. As a foreigner, there would be no way to see everything seen on the tour on my own!
