Excellent! Sandy our tour guide did an amazing job keeping us and our teenagers engaged the entire time with her witty humour, knowledge and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this wonderful way to see and learn about Old Montreal.

I don't do walking tours or tour guides. But when I got booked into old Montreal walking tour, I was happy to have Laura as our guide. She did great with sharing as much info about the places.. her personal experience.. loved it Would definitely recommend if you get Laura 😉

I had an incredible experience with Free Montreal Tours – Old Montreal Walking Tours, especially thanks to our guide Darren. He was absolutely fantastic – very smart, deeply knowledgeable, and able to explain the history of Montreal in such a clear and engaging way. The tour never felt rushed; instead, Darren took us on a thoughtful journey through Old Montreal, bringing the stories behind the buildings and streets to life. What really impressed me was the depth of his knowledge – he went beyond surface-level facts and gave us insights that made me see the city in a whole new way. And his tips at the end were the cherry on top! They were super practical, from where to eat to what else to explore, and made the rest of my time in Montreal so much better. If you get Darren as your guide, consider yourself lucky. This was one of the best walking tours I’ve ever done – highly recommend!
