Your tour guide makes all the difference
There were some things that were good about the tour, like sampling the bagels and going to the Jean-Claude market, but for the most part, it felt very rushed and like we were just driving around. I thought our tour guide was not up to standard. He seemed to have his own agenda and didn’t care for interruptions or questions. At the end of the tour, he didn’t even drop people off at their hotel. He dropped an older woman solo traveler two blocks away from our hotel and just ask her to walk. I have taken a lot of tours with Viator and this one was definitely not up to par.
Response from the operator: We are sorry that you didn't fully enjoy your tour with us. We alwayse encourage our guests to ask questions. When there is much to know about something that is not of commen interests to the group, or not in relation to the tour is about, it is advisable to ask the questions when we are off the van, on one of the diffent stops. The complimentary pick-up and drop off, as advertised, is only limited to Downtown Montreal area listed hotels. But we still do our best to come as close as we can to Old Montreal to make it as easy as possible to everyone. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Very worthwhile all day trip
Very good view of Montreal neighborhoods. Excellent tour especially if you have only 1 day. If you have more time this tour will give great ideas for where to spend more time. Also a good way to see where to find restaurants, bars and cafes.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Jules welcomed us into his home city
We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Montreal. Jules was an excellent guide who made us feel that we really knew the city by the end of the day. He has a comfortable friendly style that really invited us into his home. Ronny wish that there had been time to see the Olympic Stadium. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Wonderful Experience
Had a wonderful, all day, informative excursion around Montreal with Jules. He knew his stuff! He maneuvered around Montreal like the pro he was and kept our small group informed about history as well as current events throughout the city. He gave detailed information about landmarks, architect, history…you name it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We highly appreciate it. Enjoy travelling and all the best!

Easy way to see much on...

The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 728 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal?
+
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 The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal?
+
Around 255 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal 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, The Original Old Montréal Walking Tour by Guidatour. 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.
