The city tour in Montreal is a good way to get around. At the hotel concierge desk we signed up with the Gray Line tours that had a special two day ticket for Hop on and Hop Off bus. We took advantage of this as the first day gave us a good vantage of what and where we wanted to explore. Montreal is known for the Oratory and the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. The bus actually stops at thirteen different venues to choose from and from there you have opportunities to visit museums, walk old city Montreal, or climb the beautiful Park from which The name Mont Real came from. So it is that on the second day we hopped off to see the wonders from up close. Taking the tour bus is absolutely recommended if you are not familiar with the city, its neighborhoods and the ever present traffic and people. With four major universities in the city, Montreal is buzzing with activity and a very good way to check it out is by HOp On and Hop Off bus. We would do it again.
