About this activity
Discover Montreal's defining landmarks in a compact 3-hour small-group tour, covering everything from Mount Royal's panoramic heights to the historic charm of Old Montreal. This efficiently-paced route hits the city's cultural and architectural essentials—including Canada's largest church and the iconic 1967 Expo site—without the overwhelm of a full-day itinerary.
A fulfilling tour of Montreal in 3 hours! You will get to see Mount Royal, Westmount, St. Joseph’s Oratory, Downtown as well as Saint Helen's Island, Old Montreal and the Old Port and waterfront.
