Great tour with one issue... - The tour guide, Jason, was great...very kind, polite and knowledgeable. The only issue, when the cruise is included, it's too much packed into the day...no time to explore Old Montreal.

Great experience - Our driver Frank showed up promptly at our downtown Ottawa hotel & got us safely round trip to Montreal . Our tour guide Yin was extremely knowledgeable and made the yr very interesting . The Oratory of st Joseph & the Basilica of Notre Dane are a must see as well as downtown Montreal . The cruise was great . There is food & drinks on board. Only downside to this trip was I wished we had shopping time built into the tour , so we could get souvenirs of our visit .
