Experience the best of
Montreal with Withlocals

"Camila was an awesome guide. She was very knowledgeable and took us to some great places. My friends and I highly recommend this tour. "

"This is my second time using WithLocals, and I would go again the next time I explore a new city. Marcelo was a great guide, and I appreciated his overview of Montreal’s history and Quebecois culture. I also enjoyed that we went to several different neighborhoods of the city, each with its own charm. What I like most about the tour is his well-informed perspective and high-yield learning that you can’t get from a travel book so readily. Communication was a breeze, and he was very good with questions. I highly recommend this tour and Marcelo in particular. Thanks so much!"

"From the moment Camila introduced herself we could feel her love for this city, and for the people that live here.As we strolled thru the parks she talked about its rich history and culture and what a typical day might be for herself as well as others. We strolled through beautiful markets and neighborhoods and especially enjoyed our stop at the ice cream shop. She was very knowledgeable about the city and its history and answered any question we threw at her. I have some mobility issues and she was so patient and kind and watched over me like a mother hen! Her love and passion for the city is contagious and she makes the tour fun! Experiencing the city through Camilas eyes you get a deeper understanding of why she chose it to make it her home."

"Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours we spent with Marcelo. He took us through many significant neighborhoods in the city and told us about Montreal's past, present and future. We learned so much! Marcelo had a gentle, engaging manner which made us feel comfortable to ask questions. He gave us lots of good tips on sites to see, neighborhoods to further explore and places to eat. Even after the tour was over, Marcelo sent us additional recommendations and even travel instructions using the Metro! We could not have had a better tour guide - he was thorough, informative and clearly loves Montreal and it's international citizenry and English/French history."

"Marcelo was extremely accommodating as we had some cold, rainy weather, was open to schedule changes and easy to work with in that respect. We got a great introduction to many neighborhoods and shown how simple it was to use the metro! Also, we were very curious about the underground shopping, which he was able to show us as well! All of this while giving us many interesting facts about Montreal and Quebec. He was also able to help us find a store that was on our list to visit while we were in the neighborhood! I highly recommend starting your trip here with him, you will not be disappointed and he was able to give us recommendations of where to go for the rest of our trip, including some restaurant recommendations!! "

"We very much enjoyed our tour with Victoria. The information she presented was relevant to our interests and we learned a lot about Montreal. We look forward to our next visit to this exceptional city."

"This was my first visit to Montreal and the walking tour with Marcelo gave us a great introduction to the city . I would recommend it. "

"Victoria replied to any questions I had prior to our meeting time. We are traveling with two other couples and it was easy to hear all she said. She took us to great viewing areas and pointed out significance of many statues. We loved her recommendation to get tickets for Aura at the Basilica (which happens to be where Celine Dion was married). We were with her for a full two hours and enjoyed every minute ."

"Victoria is a charming and enthusiastic guide to the city. She is a history and political science student and so is able to provide an in-depth explanation of the social and historical context of various buildings and areas of Montreal. We enjoyed the stories and observations she had as we walked from Old Montreal and the Port through downtown and all the way to MacGill University. She also provided walking directions for us to visit other areas, and restaurant recommendations. "

"Despite the smattering of rain, our day with Victoria was delightful. We visited during the Montreal Jazz Festival - despite the friends we had no difficulty connecting for the tour. Victoria was a wrath of knowledge about her adopted city and helped us understand today by sharing the history. We covered a lot of ground and ate some fabulous food - poutine of course, but also some gourmet chocolate and lobster rolls. She pointed out options that we couldn’t fit in, but could go back to later."
