What people are saying about Laval, Quebec

This is a must-do tour for all newcomers to Montreal like me. Gives you a great overview of the city. Our guide Fran gets the highest rating for her in-depth knowledge of the places we visited, for her punctuality, attentiveness to our comfort and for making sure we all returned to our homes safely. All in all, the tour was a great experience that I will always remember Montreal by. Thank you Fran!

Connie Burcheri was great. She took us for breakfast at a Montreal cafe that was a favorite with Leonard Cohen, and was in the neighborhood were Cohen lived. We then explored neighborhoods in Montreal, visited local stores, the open market in Little Italy, and she drove us back to our hotel. She even made our dinner reservation! She was great.

Would have loved the experience more if it hadn't been our 3rd day in the city and had already seen a lot of the things. He was informative and asked what we were interested in doing and seeing. He even recommended several more things for us to do on our own.

Fran was perfect. Knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. In 7 hours we were able to see all the major sights in Montréal. Would recommend to everyone and will be returning with more friends!! Merci beaucoup, Fran!!!

Wonderful. Our host was very knowledgable about Montreal.
