Experience the best of
Montreal with Withlocals

"Victoria replied to any questions I had prior to our meeting time. We are traveling with two other couples and it was easy to hear all she said. She took us to great viewing areas and pointed out significance of many statues. We loved her recommendation to get tickets for Aura at the Basilica (which happens to be where Celine Dion was married). We were with her for a full two hours and enjoyed every minute ."

"Victoria is a charming and enthusiastic guide to the city. She is a history and political science student and so is able to provide an in-depth explanation of the social and historical context of various buildings and areas of Montreal. We enjoyed the stories and observations she had as we walked from Old Montreal and the Port through downtown and all the way to MacGill University. She also provided walking directions for us to visit other areas, and restaurant recommendations. "

"Despite the smattering of rain, our day with Victoria was delightful. We visited during the Montreal Jazz Festival - despite the friends we had no difficulty connecting for the tour. Victoria was a wrath of knowledge about her adopted city and helped us understand today by sharing the history. We covered a lot of ground and ate some fabulous food - poutine of course, but also some gourmet chocolate and lobster rolls. She pointed out options that we couldn’t fit in, but could go back to later."

"We had the MOST amazing day with our spectacular tour guide, Victoria. The tour was very customized for our group and it was private as well. We had such tasty treats (and drinks) and Victoria was a pleasure. She knew all the best places for some of our favorites, poutine, brisket, bagels....but she also was amazing at all the history along the way. We saw a new neighborhood and learned so much about the city. What a wonderful day - thank you with locals and especially Victoria!!"

"We had a great tour around Montreal with Marcelo. We were a group of 4 with limited time in the city. We rented bikes and covered a lot of ground. Would highly recommend this tour! "

"We have taken food tours around the world in many different locations. The day with Victoria was one of the best. Food tours are great way to get to know the city, culture, people, and get all the good secrets-inside tips, etc. Victoria was friendly, knowledgeable and we ate until we could not eat any more. Such a great experience in Montreal. Worth the extra dollars then the standard, large group food tour. "

"My wife and I arrived for our first 5 day visit to Montreal. Rather than hack around with guide books, we engaged Victoria for a two hour walking tour of the old city, newer neighborhoods ending up at McGill. Victoria followed up with an email list of restaurants and other sites to see."

"Our tour with Victoria was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely time. She contacted us to make sure we hit our must see places, and did all the line waiting (looking at you Schwartz's!) and introduces us to other specialties. We would recommend Victoria to everyone! She is enthusiastic, personable, accommodating and provides excellent information. ThanK you Victoria for a great afternoon! PS Jordan got his hat!"

"Whether you are visiting for a week or a day this tour is fabulous. In addition to delicious treats, iconic dishes and hidden gems, you will have a wonderful tour of the city. What made it a must do? Simply put it was our incredible guide Victoria! Of course you want a guide that is knowledgeable and she is,but beyond that she is also engaging, personable, caring, and sweet. Victoria will share her favorite spots and happily customize your tour. She can adjust on the spot and plans the most thoughtful day. We loved exploring and one of our favorite parts was sipping sangria on the rooftop enjoying the beautiful view and getting to know both the city and Victoria. Having traveled to many countries and using guides I would confidently say she was one of the very best! "

"Had a great day with Marcelo! What a lovely mix of history, culture and food; like hanging out with an old friend and discovering all that Montréal had to offer at the same time. Marcelo is kind, funny and thoughtful and knows the city inside and out. If you are looking for a tour to remember that's well-paced and tailored but still chilled out and fun, look no further than this tour with Marcelo as your guide. "
