Description

This tour is great for guests who have a late afternoon flight arriving in Montreal and would like to get an overview and enjoy an evening walk in Old Montreal. This tour is very popular with business travellers, those attending conferences and solo women travellers. The best time for this tour is late afternoon, early evening, or at dusk. Travellers will experience the sun setting and the lights that turn Old Montreal into a romantic movie set. On certain evenings, Old Montreal has projections with stories being told on the walls. In the summer months, twice a week, we also have a fireworks competition, as well as the area, where many festivals are held. This tour is also magical in December with the Christmas lights and in February during the Highlights Festival or Igloo Festival.  It is a great way to have an introduction to Montreal and complements very well with the guide's food tour or neighbourhood tour.  At the end of your tour, we will end at the main square, where you can enjoy dinner or drinks. Once the tour is booked, the guide will provide suggestions.
