Description

Join us for an unforgettable Montreal Walking Tour that blends history, culture, local flavor, and scenic views. This small-group experience begins at La Grande Roue de Montréal, Canada’s tallest observation wheel. Soak in panoramic views of Old Montreal and the St. Lawrence River from a temperature-controlled cabin.

From there, your local guide will lead you through the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal toward the awe-inspiring Notre Dame Basilica. Along the way, savor the sweet and smoky flavor of maple jerky while taking in historic landmarks such as Montreal City Hall and Place d’Armes. 

At the Notre-Dame Basilica, immerse yourself in the city's rich spiritual and architectural heritage. This highlight of our Notre Dame Walking Tour offers time to admire the intricate woodwork, vibrant stained glass, and magnificent altar of this gothic-revival masterpiece.

Next, indulge in a classic Canadian culinary experience—poutine, a beloved comfort food made with fries, cheese curds, and savory gravy.

The tour ends in style with a relaxing cruise on the St. Lawrence River, offering some of the most breathtaking skyline views in the city. This Montreal walking tour with river cruise is the perfect way to explore the heart and soul of the city—one step (and bite) at a time.

Our guide, was absolutely magnificent, knowledgeable, patient and turned the overall tour into such a great experience. We even stopped at a local bagel and coffee shop for some amazing and reasonably priced quick bite and coffee. Definitely top notch experience.
