Stay in Montreal to enjoy maple syrup
I’m so sorry but DO NOT do this event. The meal was nice but the “maple sugar tour” was not educational, hands on or even standing amongst maple trees. It lasted a short 5 minutes. Next was a 20 minute drive to a sleepy town north of the restaurant. Walked around bored for one hour and unfortunately hit horrific traffic (2.5 hour drive) back to Montreal. Spend your time and money on another activity.

Your chance to visit a sugar shack
Long way to travel but the sugar shack was a great experience. It’s all you can eat menu, with soup to start followed by ham, sausages, potatoes, beets and omelette. To end the meal pancakes and taffy cake. You must embrace the experience and cover everything with maple syrup 🍁🍁. Had time to explore the gift shop as well.

Not worth $140/ person
First, everyone that took care of us were kind and helpful. The journey to the "sugar shack" was 1.5 hours. Upon our arrival we had a 10ish minute presentation about the process of making maple syrup. I was hoping for a more in depth dive from "tree to bottle". The meal was fine. I wanted more history of the dishes. (Why does pork seem like a primary protein? This dish is the result of a need to preserve, etc.) There was not an opportunity to purchase maple products at the sugar shack which was a bummer. On the return trip we stopped in a small town for 30ish minutes, I still don't understand the significance of the stop. Ultimately, I'm not sure it is worth the price tag.

A "Taste" of Maple
Zhang shared both historical and current information about Quebec and Montreal as we traveled towards our destination. Thanks to Zhang's organizational skills we were quickly seated for our meal then advised where to go for the presentation with Zhang leading the way. At the conclusion Zhang summarized our meeting point/time to be there and suggestions what one could explore. He was attentive and sensitive to those with mobility challenges. An enjoyable outing with Zhang committed to all having maximizing what the tour offered.

We had a mix up with our reservation but Concord had wonderful customer service and made sure we had an amazing experience. Jason our tour guide was friendly and informative and made the trip super special! The sugar shack was a great spot to visit and a good change of scenery if you are visiting the city and the food was very good but make sure you come hungry!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine cost?
+
Prices start at $189 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 From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine?
+
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 From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine?
+
Around 4 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Montreal: Maple Syrup Tour with Sugar Shack & Local Cuisine 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 The Essential 101 Non-Touristy Walking Tour by Spade & Palacio, Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal. 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.
