A truly personalized experience! - A truly personalized experience! Kian, a private driver/ guide, has an exceptional knowledge of history of Montreal. He provides door to door service to historic and up to date venues. He has a personal interest in architecture too. As a resident of Montreal, he has advice on "where the locals go" for food and fun. Highly recommend. Very professional.

Kian Is The Perfect Montreal Ambassador - Kian was an amazingly wonderful host. He is generous, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. My fiancée and I were looking for a way to understand Montreal quickly and thoroughly. A crash course, if you will. We were lucky to have found Kian through Viator and he proved to be just the man we needed for the job Kian picked us up at the airport and whisked us away on a day’s long whirlwind tour of everything Montreal has to offer. Still today, when friends ask if we did “X” while in Montreal, we always say, “Yes! And we did it with Kian.” I told Kian I was looking for a place to “pop the question” and he was right on the task, taking us to one beautiful site after another. He even acted as our private photographer, sending us a link to all the photos he took of us on our excursion. We wanted to get a firm grasp of the history of Montreal, with all its cool neighborhoods, its culture, its dining scene, and its architecture. Kian was right on it. He is very well educated and clearly loves the same things we do, so he prepared with stories about the early pioneers, the relationship between Montreal, France, and the U.K., and more modern history like its current parks, events, music, dining and lifestyle. We stopped at Schwartz’s Deli for smoke meat and poutine, Fairmount Bagels (where even New Yorkers are in for a treat), Jean-Talon Market for charcuterie, Caffé Italia for espresso, the Museum of Fine Arts, Mount Royal, the Leonard Cohen mural, churches, gorgeous bank buildings, and many other historical landmarks. In addition, Kian recommended place to eat, see live music, and just hang out and people-watch. Our trip to Montreal was 10x better because or Kian. We hope to see him again the next time we are in Montreal. Thanks, Kian!

Kian was a fabulous tour... - Kian was a fabulous tour guide. We learned so much and had so much fun with him. It was very cold out, and he made sure to balance our time in and outside. When it was time to climb to the observation area of Mount Royal, he check with us several times to make sure we were comfortable. We were. Afterwards he brought us for bagels. These two New York ladies were a bit skeptical, but he was right. They were delicious! He also offered to bring us to try poutine, but we were full. He extended our tour overtime without us asking, and was willing to keep going, but we were wiped out! I highly recommend a private tour with Kian!

The perfect, personal tour - Kian is an amazing guide! This was our first trip to Montreal. Kian’s itinerary was perfect and took us to locations and neighborhoods we never would have seen otherwise. His knowledge of the city is extensive and personal, making each stop that much more interesting. We were willing to get out, walk, and explore with Kian and this made the tour that much better and unique. This tour, and Kian’s recommendations of other sites, restaurants, etc., left a lasting impression of the city. This is truly a great way to see the city!
