Montreal is a beautiful city!

Published on Aug, 2023

A 6 1/2 hour walk around Montreal — we saw everything. Pierre was a terrific guide - interesting, knowledgeable. He took us everywhere we wanted to see plus places only a local would know. My only advice is to access the tour directly through City Unscripted. Viator is HORRIBLE and will be happy to rob you and ruin your vacation. Go direct to City Unscripted

Customized tour that fit my interests perfectly!

Published on Oct, 2022

Gabriel was a wonderful tour guide full of knowledge about Montreal's architecture and history (as well as some great places to grab a bite to eat!). He really listened to my interests and put together an itinerary that suited me well! We explored rare Isaac Newton books and science history at McGill University, stopped at a cafe afterward for coffee and snack, walked through beautiful neighborhoods, and wandered to Place des Arts and Old Port for sightseeing, where he recommended some great food. Gabriel is the best, and so was this tour!

Excellent and informative a view of a beautiful city. Gabriel was very personable and knowledgeable about the city we r

Published on Oct, 2022

Gabriel was very personable and very knowledgeable. He gave us the perfect tour of Montreal, and also gave us several good suggestions for our second day there

A fantastic tour with Lesley!

Published on Apr, 2022

Lesley is the best; knowledgeable, funny, super friendly, and extremely helpful. We had a great time on her tour and learned so many things that only a local would know. She also had so many great recommendations for after the tour. Her tour is a must!
