Saved the best tour for last - We planned this tour for our last day in Montreal. Sorinel was highly knowledgeable about the history of the church and life of Brother Andre. He was very accommodating and took his time to explain everything. Very inspirational place to visit. This holy place exceeded our expectations. If you’re undecided, don’t hesitate. Book this tour.

Beautiful spot - Lovely afternoon tour to experience this beautiful site. Be warned though, there is basically no air conditioning and on a warm day, it is stifling inside with little air movement. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting.

Cultural - This oratory is impressive in its size and location. But the architecture where the religious and the heathen mix is very modern and sometimes confusing.

Disorganized and unprofessional - The guide was disorganized and late. We arranged two tours one in English and one is Spanish. Only one guide turned up, despite arranging for two separate tours. Embarrassing as we bought business leaders on this tour.
