Notre-Dame Basilica Skip-the-Line & Old Montreal Private Tour

Skip-the-line tickets open this private tour of Old Montreal at Notre-Dame Basilica, where the Gothic Revival façade is taken in without queuing at the door. The walk then works through the historic core of the district: Place d'Youville provides the setting for the city's colonial past and the way its early squares came together. Further along, the Port of Montreal Tower brings up the stories of trade and power tied to the harbour. A private licensed guide accompanies the group from stop to stop, pointing out the well-known landmarks alongside quieter corners that are easy to walk straight past. The three-hour version adds private round-trip transport, so the stretches between sites are covered without waiting around. The result is a compact route through Montreal's history, culture and architecture.
