  • My bias: we are a family of four (two parents, one omnivore, one vegan, and two pre-teens kids, one vegetarian, one with a Sensory-based diet) and the youngest is in a wheelchair. I'd read wonderful reviews of this tour but it's kinda expensive and I hemmed and hawed a bit. But then luckily I said to myself "do it" and we did it and it was absolutely the best walking tour we did in Montreal (if not one of the best walking tours we've done anywhere). Part of it was our incredible, knowledgeable, charismatic, accommodating, magnetic guide, Caroline (LOVED her) -- and I mean a huge part, she was just a doll. Caroline was also so helpful offering to help lift our son's wheelchair up and down the steps. But also without this tour we never ever would've gone to Mile End and that would have been an absolute shame. It is not on any tourist beaten path but it is fabulous -- such character! It reminded us of the Pearl / NW 23rd in Portland, OR, or maybe Cabbagetown or Riverdale in Toronto, or my husband said Gastown in Vancouver -- great, authentic character. The food was fun and we all could (and did) eat no problem. At all. So much food so seriously, ARRIVE HUNGRY. We'd eaten breakfast just a few hours before and we should've abstained. Our child with Sensory issues was having a hard time with some of the food so I popped into Vertu to get him a smoothie (the girls working there were divine), and Caroline made a point to tell me where to meet back up with the tour and she kept an eye out for us. She'd also packaged bagels we'd missed on our smoothie stop. How sweet. I do regret not purchasing more from the shops along the way (especially the chocolatier but hello internet!) and we said if we were to return to Montreal what fun it would be to rent a place in this dynamic neighborhood. Loved seeing the Italian and Orthodox Jew / Hasidim past and present there, too. After the tour we walked via meandering path to Saint-Denis and stopped in a park filled with Hasidim so that was a multicultural treat, too. Not even at the end (at some point along the way) this ended up being not expensive at all but instead the best money I spent for us to explore Montreal. And Caroline was the perfect guide.
