    The title speaks for itself.... if you love shopping then consider this!

    I have been to Montreal a few times. I relied on the internet to tell me where vintage stores are. Unfortunately, the stores I found were either a let down or "gone". So I signed up for this tour to see if there were stores that only locals knew. I was happy to find 3 stores that I had not been to. On the day of the tour, the guide sets up the meeting place. From there, she drove me around to different stores which was great. The stores are spread far apart so I don't think we would be able to hit all the places if we had to rely on public transit. Lyly is very pleasant, patient, and not pushy. She spent more than the allotted 3 hours which was nice. I believe Lyly said that she has been doing this for 1.5 years. I read the other review posted in January 2019. I think with time, Lyly will develop into a confident stylist who will use her skills learned in school with her own added twist. Suggestions: 1. best to set meeting place 24-48 hours ahead. By the time I got the email, I was already at the airport so carrying currency was a bit of an issue. 2. as the tour gets more popular, perhaps the fashion society can negotiate with the stores about discounts as it would be a win-win situation for both parties overall, the next time I visit, I would consider going on the local designer's tour also.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to review the tour and for the suggestions, we continuously look for ways to improve the experience. It was a pleasure meeting you and shopping with you and we're happy you enjoyed the tour! Don't hesitate to reach out next time you stop by the city! Best, Lyly Shopping Tour Coordinator The Montreal Fashion Society

    Cool experience but...

    We were brought to a couple of interesting studios, we found some good buys, enjoyed meeting new people. Our guide was helpful but needed a little more confidence in guiding the overall experience and narration.

    Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach cost?

    +

    Prices start at $106 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 Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach 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 Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach 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 Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach?

    +

    Around 1 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 Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach 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 Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Fashion insider stories from your guide; Expert tips from your style coach; Customized shopping tour of Montreal's best vintage shops; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach?

    +

    The experience starts at Montreal, Montreal, Canada. Tour starting and ending point varies depending on guests answers to shopping tour form as this tour is personalized to each group. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Small-Group Vintage Fashion Shopping Tour with a Style Coach if the weather is bad?

    +
