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.

4 years after my first tour, my husband and I found ourselves in Montreal. I booked a Mile End tour…read morewith this company since we had such a great experience the first time. Our guide this time was Darren, and he was outstanding! We learned so much about the Mile End itself as well as the backstories of all of the great places we went to. We left stuffed with plenty of recommendations for places to check out for the remainder of our stay. 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!

The day after our market tour, we joined a fantastic bike tour--roughly 16 km through a variety of…read moreneighborhoods and sights. Rather than any single stop, the real takeaway was Montreal's character itself: its diversity, inclusion, multicultural fabric, and rich history. Our guide, Pax, embodied those qualities--knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely pleasant--making the 4.5 hours fly by. 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!

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.

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?

I called with short notice and they were able to get a tour guide and accommodate my request within 2 hours! The scooters were great, we were beginners and had no problem managing them. Our guide did an amazing job prepping us and ensuring we were able to navigate traffic together. Montréal is big, the tour gives you a chance to see a lot of the popular atttractions and neighborhoods that you may not visit otherwords. I think the price is totally fair considering it's a private tour and you can essentially request your own custom itinerary or let them take you around!

And the helmets are also like new and very clean. The scooters go up to 90km super exciting if you're into speed. The owner Jerome is really cool and makes the renting experience simple. In and out onto your scooter with a full tutorial in less than 15 minutes. Then you can cruise around at your own pace or go with one of their tours. Plus the prices are reasonable for what you get. Our last hour was only $5. Pro tip: ditch Waze and go with Google maps, Waze sent us through a speed tunnel, and it was fairly scary.

Museum of Jewish Montreal isn't a traditional museum. Its museum space hosts cultural events but…read morethe main way that people interact with the museum is through the walking tours of Montreal they offer. When I was planning a solo trip to Montreal recently, I knew I had to take in one of their walking tours. I only had time for one (I would have done more than one if I'd had one more day), so I picked "Beyond the Bagel" - 3-4 hour walking tour of Mile End and Plateau. It was fantastic. My tour (on a weekend) was small - just me and another couple. Our tour guide was great - very knowledgeable and friendly. And it was amazing to not have to wait in line to get to try some of those famous Jewish Montreal foods (I was especially grateful for this when we stopped at Schwartz's and I saw that line). I learned so much, got to see so much of a few of Montreal's historic Jewish neighborhoods, and tried some great food. I definitely recommend this tour (and others) if you're interested in the history of Montreal's Jewish community, Montreal's Jewish foods (including Montreal bagels, smoked meats, and more), or just want to see a different part of Montreal! I highly recommend this experience!

We met at Rialto Theater with 8 of us. Our guide had pastries ready which is a great way to start off, and then we walked into Cheskie's bakery where they were from to see what it look liked inside. Then we took a walk while she talked about the original history of the neighborhood, tried their local bagels (kind of sweet as made with honey water, had it with Liberté cream cheese which I'm told is the only way to go), we walked to another bakery to get some rugelach, and ended up getting pastrami from Schwartz's which had a huge line (that we were able to cut!) We saw a lot of historic buildings, some used for new purposes, some just the former locations. It was really interesting. If you come, bring a big bottle of water! It's a lot of walking and that's not included in the food. I got to try a lot of food I hadn't before and if i were in town longer, I'd hit up those establishments for other goodies. A lot of learning and good snacks. It's a lot of carbs though! You will be full. So do the walking tour, it ends at the museum which is not much, but at least you can sit a sec before carrying on with your day. Was really fun and unique!
