We start our Montréal walking tour by skipping the line at the Notre-Dame Basilica before wandering Vieux-Montréal. We’ll pop into some historic and architecturally gems to get an understanding of the district before heading out and leaving the tourist crowds behind.

We stroll through a segment of our interior or underground city. It’s the largest indoor network on the planet and lets us make our way to Chinatown for a quick snack as we get the skinny on the area.

Then it’s off to our old Red Light District, turned entertainment Mecca to see where the biggest festivals take place. We pop into a whacky often missed institution for a visit. Up Saint-Laurent boulevard, we check out half a dozen impressive works of art from Montréal’s MURAL Festival in the borough that is home to the highest concentration of artists in Canada.

With a coffee from a local third wave shop in hand we walk the hip parts of the lower Main before leaving you with a custom list of recommendations.

Rufus was a phenomenal tour guide. He made Montreal come to life and he was so personable -we received such a great overview of all aspects of Montreal I would highly recommend this tour to see the basilica and all the various parts of Montreal. For the price - it is a must do…

An excellent walking tour covering many areas of Montréal, including the Basilica, street art, food market, the old red light district, Chinatown, the underground city which totally surprised us as we were thinking old but of course it’s very modern.
We also had a Chinese bun and coffee thrown in.
Although in our 80’s we made the route.
Chris gave us so much information which would’ve never. dreamed of ourselves. Statues reflecting National traits, street art showing so much more than we’ve ever thought of ourselves.
