    Fun way to explore Montreal

    Great way to explore a very walkable city. I did this with my adult daughter, and we did not need two tickets- should have just purchased 1.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Kelly! 😊 What a lovely way to explore Montreal with your daughter! Just to clarify for next time — each ticket gives an individual experience on its own device, but a group can absolutely share one ticket and play together on a single phone. We hope to welcome you both on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

    Waste of time

    There are a lot of cool things to see in Montreal but this tour misses them all. I was so disappointed that I took a guided tour the next day, just to prove to myself that there are interesting things to see. BTW the beautiful moss-covered frog and hand in the ad on the internet for the tour isn't even in Montreal! WTF??

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your honest feedback. 😊 We’re sorry that the Montreal route did not showcase the parts of the city you were hoping to discover. We also understand your frustration about the moss-covered frog and hand shown in the listing image. That image should accurately represent the experience, and we’ll raise this with our team. We hope we can offer you a much better experience in another city. 🗺️

    Explore Montreal

    This tour took us all over Old Montreal and allowed us to learn and explore the city! We enjoyed that it was self guided and easy to follow along. We discovered cool restaurants and shops while on the route. I would recommend if you have never been to Montreal and want an easy way to explore the city.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! 😊 Exploring all of Old Montreal, discovering cool restaurants and shops along the way and learning about the city at your own pace — that's exactly the experience we want to create! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

    The route was well...

    The route was well planned and informative. The”clues” to the scavenger hunt challenges were difficult to understand and didn’t indicate what information or items we were meant to be searching for.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the well-planned route and informative content. We’re sorry the clues were sometimes unclear about what to look for. That’s helpful feedback, and we’ll pass it on to our team so the challenges are easier to understand and more engaging. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! 🗺️

    Family visit

    Captivating interactive tour even for children holding the phone for direction and diversifying place.

    Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que cette visite interactive ait plu à toute la famille, y compris aux enfants. C’est super qu’ils aient pu participer en tenant le téléphone pour suivre les directions et découvrir des lieux variés à Montréal. Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure dans une autre ville ! 🗺️

    Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3 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 Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 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 Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour 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.

    What is included in Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Montreal Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour?

    +
