Overview

This 2-hour, private small-group guided walking tour will lead you not only through the streets of the downtown but beneath through its RÉSO, known by Montrealers as the 'Underground City'.

When passing through the interior city and its tunnels connecting metro stations and buildings which feature nearly 1,700 boutiques, 200 restaurants, universities, movie theaters, apartments, art centers, museums, arena and more, you will come to understand how 500,000 people per-day can go to work, the movies, or even go shopping without having to go outside.
