The birthplace of Montreal, covered on foot with a licensed guide on a private tour that reaches back more than 380 years. Cobblestone streets, historic buildings and busy public squares set the scene as the route takes in Place d'Armes, Notre-Dame Basilica, Place Jacques-Cartier and the historic waterfront of the Old Port, along with hidden corners most visitors walk straight past. The pace is yours to set: a professional guide supplies the stories, local insight and recommendations, while the tour bends toward whatever catches your interest. Subjects along the way include the founding of the city and its French origins, Indigenous history and early settlement, the fur trade and the rise of commerce, the pivotal moments that shaped Montreal, its blend of French and English influences, and local architecture, culture and daily life. It meets outside Pointe-à-Callière.
