"We spent a very enjoyable and interesting three hours with Marie walking through neighborhoods of the city. Marie has a great grasp of the city and its history. She is very personable and sets a good pace. This is a walk you
will enjoy and will give you ideas for further exploration on your own.
Treat yourself and book Marie."
"My parents and I recently took a Canadian cruise from Montrèal to Portland ME. We went a day early and decided to book a personal tour. The price from the ship was double the cost Marie was asking for just 3 of us. Marie was in touch early asking about any personal preferences etc. She met us at our hotel downtown and took us on an amazing tour of Old and New Montreal. She has a ton of knowledge and love for the city. We left with a great feel of Montrèal. I can’t recommend Marie or Montrèal enough. Make sure you have good walking shoes though. It was a lot of walking. "
"Our tour from Marie was awesome! We learned so much about Montreal walking from our accommodation down into Old Town. We were a group of 9 women, and Marie was incredibly patient as we often stopped for photos. She even helped us take them! She really tailored the tour to us, and we are very grateful! We’d recommend her to anyone seeking an informative tour of Montreal! "
"I wanted a private guide for my wife and I and after doing my research I found Marie and couldn’t be happier. Marie waked us through different parts of the old Montreal while explaining what we were seeing in great detail We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Marie as a guide "
"Marie was terrific with us. We did the two hour tour due to some foot injuries and asked in advance for her to plan in a few rest points. She was very knowledgeable with quite interesting history of Montreal and even politics that occurred in the late 1900’s shaping what Montreal is today. We hit all of the major sites we wanted to see. Highly recommend. "
"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."
