It was 3 hours long and did involve a moderate amount of walking. The poutine and Mediterranean food were the standouts during this tour. It introduced me to a few places that I may visit again in the future. The only negative was that our particular tour guide was way too verbose and tended to drag the tour a bit behind schedule.

I said it in my last review and I'll say it again: if you're thinking about a tour book with Local Montreal Food Tours! It'll definitely elevate your trip!

This review is for their "Dome Experience", but applies to any tour they offer with food…read more Made reservations for Saturday through TripAdvisor, and received confirmation 7 days prior to our trip. I was planning on surprising my wife with a nice romantic dinner. She had an accident a few years ago and has lasting daily symptoms from her brain injury and loud restaurants are very difficult for her. Noise cancelling headphones help her, but it just extends the period of time before she is exhausted by a little bit. When I found these dome experiences, it was perfect, we could go out to eat without the background noise in an amazing setting! Arrived on Saturday and they could not find our reservations, I had downloaded the tickets from TripAdvisor. Initially, he tried to tell me it was for the boat restaurant, but the tickets clearly said dome experience. He called the owner and after a bit, the owner told him we cancelled. We did not cancel, nor does TripAdvisor allow any cancellations of this particular experience. I was extremely disappointed, but what we saw while we were there waiting softened the blow a bit. Upon getting back to our hotel later, I logged into my credit card account, and did indeed see a refund for the tour 4 days after we booked, but we never received any email notification on that, and had no idea. Assuming they aren't synced up properly, and possibly overbooked between their website and the 3rd party site. Now back to what we saw while there... When we arrived, we were slightly early, so we boarded the boat, and went downstairs to use the restroom, which is the main dining area. There was a large rack that held plates of food (over a dozen) in the main hallway, all uncovered, and less than 5' from the Men's room door. While in the restroom, there was a small home type soap dispenser that was completely empty, and upon my wife completing her visit to the ladies room, she mentioned the same thing for the women's room. Got a very bad vibe of the cleanliness of the entire operation, and in reading reviews for the boat experience (which is the same food as the dome), many review complained about poor tasting food, hair in food, etc. Certainly, if they had plates of food yet to be served out in the full open near the men's room, I can only imagine what we're not seeing behind the scenes. Ended up walking back to Old Town and going to the Keg steakhouse. My wife didn't last long there, and it was not the experience we wanted, but the food was excellent. I'm hoping that the place gets a visit from health inspectors, as the issue that we saw alone had to be a code violation and nobody bothering with soap in the bathrooms, which were the only bathrooms there, so the employees use them too. If you do end up going, I imagine the domes are incredible, just maybe bring your own food! (Kidding of course, they would not allow)

Magnifique! Viator Tour…read more Omg, I had the pleasure to do this Walking ‍ Food Tour w/ Dominique. She's great @ her job & has a whimsical personality. Everyone loved her bc she made us all feel Welcomed. There's a pop quiz in the beginning, hahahaha, Nah! I'm joking! She will ask, where ur from, so don't 4get, Lol We went to "The Famous Bagel shop" & a few other shops along our route. All restauranteurs were friendly to us. Most of us didn't speak Parla Vous Francais, but that was ok, bc they speak fluent English in the downtown area. Not , so much outside of downtown, if u venture out. We met @ The Famous Guillame breakfast nook & I bought a Guillame yellow tote bag which came in handy later @ other stores. I threw everything I bought; into this hefty bag. Ok, bk to the walking food tour. It was cold , but bc Dominique was so professional & organized, we didn't have time to feel cold we bounced flawlessly from restaurant to restaurant in ease. She told stories about each restaurant as we ate. U don't have time to get bored bc she keeps u moving. So, don't diddle dally, Lol I'm not sure , if you'll met @ the same spot as we did, but nonetheless; you'll like it. What's funny , i thought i was gonna meet ppl from around the world in our group, but it was mostly ppl from the U. S. A. All East coast at that, bc we don't like to stay home hahaha the world is our oyster . Far north were ppl from Maine, Alaska, Boston, NYC, & Long Island ain't that Special? Hahahaha! So, we felt @ home & the cold didn't bother us bc Montréal weather is like all those States or actually Maine , Alaska & Boston r the coldest probably colder than Montreal. If u wear the right coat or Parker jacket you'll be fine. I'd definitely, do this Tour again. What was nice is now I may do one in NYC when I return. The only difference is I'll have to hold my breath; pass all the Urine smells from the homeless on the streets; yuck Oh, I 4got, she doesn't like u talking bad about where ur from even if it's true. Lol Viator Tours is the way 2 go. I recommend, Dominique she's very attentive including everyone. Even if u come solo, bc some friends or spouses don't like to do the same things. U won't feel lonely or out of place most of us talked w/ each other& had fun. Our Tour was during the Hockey Tournament & Valentine's weekend. It was nice! Book a tour what do u have to lose?

It was a fantastic…read moreexperience--we would never have seen the parts of Montréal JF showed us if left to our own devices. Montréal is a fantastic city on a bike. The pacing of the tour was perfect, not too slow, not too strenuous. It is obvious that JF is deeply knowledgable about urbanism, bicycle culture, and the way our built environment impacts our experiences of life. The details he pointed out and the places he brought us are easily overlooked, but super interesting. It is rare to find someone who takes so little for granted in their home environment. This tour was not just a lesson about history and some neighborhoods of Montréal, but about how to observe the world around us. I would give six stars if possible. It did not hurt that the weather was perfect. If it had rained, probably only five stars. It was a fantastic three hours and a highlight of our visit to MTL.

Frederick, our guide, took eight of us over a 7 mile tour of some of the classic neighborhoods of Montreal. His love for his hometown truly shines. We took about three hours because he made a point of showing us some classic Montreal native spots such as an immense farmers market filled with luscious locally grow produce. If we were staying long enough to cook, I'd be heading straight back there tomorrow . Frederick is a certified guide and while his knowledge is near encyclopedic, he never drones. He always invites questions and made us laugh a lot. Ask him how poutine got its name. He created a perfect blend of peddling and savoring He spaced out our rest stops in such a way that we were never bored with resting and nor fatigued with pedaling.

The hop on hop off in Montreal was fabulous, and we stopped at all of the biggest sights in the city, like Olympic Park, St, Joseph's Oratory, the Biodome, the Botanical Gardens, and Notre Dame Basilica, among many other options when you hop on and off to plan things you want to hop off and see. The Quebec City Day Tour was great as well, with stops in Old Quebec, Parliament Hill, Montmorency Falls, and the Place Royale. The Laurentian Mountains day trip was a scenic drive through the mountains to St. Sauveur and St. Adolphe d'Howard, including the beautiful Lac des Sables. Gray Line Canada is definitely more an aggregator of tours. You could probably book these tours locally or self drive a few of them, but if you are looking for more of an all-in-one tour plan, Gray Line could be the right fit for you.

The bus was large and comfortable and our tour guide and driver were amazing. The driver gave us great recommendations of places to go as well. We got off a couple times, at Place d'Armes in Old Montreal in front of Notre Dame, the Tower of Montreal, to grab coffee and food at Masionneuve Market, and the amazing overlook of the city at Mount Royal. They gave us a few options for drop off so we could decide where to spend the rest our day and the pickup was centrally located near our hotel, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. All in all, the half day tour is highly recommended and a great value so not sure why the ratings average so low.

At the start and finish, Danny (the owner/manager) personally fitted our bikes and checked in afterward, offering extra tips to help everyone make the most of their Montreal visit. Absolutely a must for a first visit in Montreal, highly recommend taking one of their tours, preferably both!
