Great Afternoon

, May 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We’ve been to Montreal several times but this tour brought us to spaces and areas we had never been before. We really liked that it was a bit of everything: history, transformation of older buildings, public art, street murals, a food tasting etc. Our guide, Gabriella, was very charming and enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge with us.
Interesting itinerary

Gabriella was a great tour guide. We got to see so much of Montreal that we never would have seen on our own. I really enjoyed all of the historical and cultural information thar our guide gave us about the city.
Great tour with Thom!

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide (Thom) was very friendly and knowledgeable about Montreal's history, culture, and cuisine. He provided excellent recommendations for places to go after the tour as well. Definitely recommend this tour! You will get to see amazing of the city that you might not have ventured to on your own.

The length and speed of the walk was perfect for our group. Daniel always made sure everyone could hear him. His knowledge is amazing. GREAT and applicable informaiton, not chatter as many tour guides have a habit of doing.,

Daniel was a very knowledgeable guide and presented the information in an interesting manner. He was extremely pleasant to be with and gave us a great walk thru the city.
Fabulous!

Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The walking tour was well paced. Because there were only two of us on this group tour there was lots of time for questions, answers and information on the best ways to travel to other points in the city that we wanted to visit.
Excellent Tour

Danny was outstanding. Knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining and a good dancer (kidding about him being a good dancer - though he may well be).
This is an excellent tour which informs as well as allows one to get their bearings in an unfamiliar city.
Beyond Great, It was Fun!

Marie, our tour guide, was excellent. She kept us interested with local stories as well as the history. She talked about the art, food, and options to explore on our own. Loved every minute.

The tour by Elisa (sp) was the worst tour we have been on for our international travels. I have had free walking tours that were 10x better. We would pass information signs that had more detail as well as other tour guides who were providing interesting cultural information. Waste of time. Terrible!

This was a fantastic tour that allowed me to see and learn about things in Montreal that I never would have experienced otherwise. Anne Marie was great: engaging and seems to truly love Montreal. We walked a decent amount, so make sure you are up for covering some distance. I highly recommend this company. They want their customers to see the best and most unique bits of the city, not just the tourist traps.

Great tour with a knowledgeable and interesting guide Danny. We started in the square outside of Notre-Dame, walked through some of old town, took a slight detour through a small portion of the underground city and ended up in China town. The tour ended in a great part of town called Plateau Mont-Royal where we were able to see some of the really cool street art from a yearly festival. This neighborhood gave us a real sense of how locals actually live. We would have gone on another Spade and Palacio tour but unfortunately were leaving that night .

We booked the Beyond the Basilica Walking Tour through the TripAdvisor website and are so glad we chose this one over all the other options they had on their website. Our tour guide was Tom may have been Tim? who was an excellent guide giving us all a unique perspective of the city that we would never have discovered on our own. The small tour size allowed for a lot more flexibility which we liked. If you ever do this tour you will be lucky to get Tom as he was probably one of the best guides we've come across in our recent travels. One area that could be improved was the booking process. After we booked, on the email we received it did not contain the details of the person we were to meet so we were left just having to wander around the general area trying to see if anyone else was looking for the same tour.
