Far exceeded our expectations
Best way to get to know the highlights of Montreal. Fran was so knowledgeable and friendly. Gave us great information and really cared about her customers. The full day tour is the way to go!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Short and sweet tour of all the best spots in Montreal
We had a great time touring neighbourhoods and hearing about the history of people that live in them. The bagel stop was our favourite but we also enjoyed our walk through Jean Talon market. We had already visited the island, but our drive around the F1 track was a nice surprise. Fran took great care of us, made sure my daughter was comfortable and answered any questions we had. My husband was disappointed that he didn’t join us. We probably should have done this tour the first full day of our trip as it would have given us a good idea of where we could visit during our 5 days.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Nice more travels and all the best!

Wonderful Tour, Wonderful Guide, Wonderful City!
We had an excellent experience on our half-day tour of Montreal. It was the perfect way to discover the city from a more local perspective and gain a deeper appreciation for its history, culture, and unique neighborhoods. Our tour guide, Fran, was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, friendly, kind, and courteous throughout the entire tour. Her passion for Montreal was evident, and she shared interesting insights and stories that brought the city to life in a way we would never have experienced on our own. This tour was one of the highlights of our visit. We loved all the stops, especially tasting the famous Montreal bagel shop and the drive on the F1 circuit. We left with a greater understanding of this beautiful city and many recommendations to explore further. We would absolutely take this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal. Thank you Ntours for this wonderful tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it indeed! It will be a great pleasure to have you with us again in Montreal on some of our other tours and excursions. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Enjoyable
Informative and friendly guide. Enjoyable. More walking than expected but that was okay for our group. The food in old Montreal wasn’t that great. I would skip and take your own picnic.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and comments. We really appreciate the feedback. But, we are not sure what we understand what you meant by more walking than expected. In the tour, the walking part is mainly optional and at one's own pace, whether this is around the Market Jean Talon or in Le Plateau neighborhood. We are sorry that you did not find any food offer that you like in Old Montreal, even though one of the widest secletion of food in the city is within Old Montreal area. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Great comprehensive tour of Montreal
My husband and I did the 7 hours tour with a break for lunch in the old town. We enjoyed it tremendously! Our tour guide Fran was fantastic. The first half was focused on well-known historic places while the second half provided a glimpse into local life in less touristy neighborhoods.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Happy holidays and all the best!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Tour; Montreal Bucket List: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does City Tour; Montreal Bucket List cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Tour; Montreal Bucket List take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.
Is City Tour; Montreal Bucket List worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour; Montreal Bucket List?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Tour; Montreal Bucket List suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Tour; Montreal Bucket List?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Tour; Montreal Bucket List start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montreal?
+
On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montreal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montreal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
