Overview

Find out more about all the eras that shaped Montreal with a private 2-hour walking tour. With your local guide, learn the city's history, from the foundation of Fort Ville-Marie in 1642 to today.  Visit important public squares, such as Place d'Armes, Place Royale, and Place Jacques-Cartier; pass by the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, City Hall, and walk along the former ''Wall Street'' of Canada; take a picture at the oldest building of the historic district, and enter Notre-Dame, if you choose. The historic heart of the city and its adjacent Old Port will help illuminate the story of one of the greatest cities in the Americas. Private tour is limited to a maximum group size of 15.
