| - I am a college professor, and my colleague and I travel with groups of students. In Montreal I arranged two tours with Local Montreal Tours - Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal) and the Food Tour. The arrangements of the tours via email went very smoothly - Ismael was very responsive and helpful. The Vieux Montreal tour was with Annie, who has a Masters degree in History - it was chilly and our group was large, but we loved Annie - she was charming and funny and knew so much about the area's history and architecture. She worked with us and was very gracious and flexible when we wanted to rearrange the tour to have a different end point.
Jeremie was our food guide tour - we spent 2 1/2 glorious hours at the Jean Talon Market, eating and drinking our way through the market. Along the way, after a breakfast of crepes and while sampling artisan sausages and cheeses, we learned much about the culture and history of Montreal - the contributions of the Jewish community, while we munched breads - Little Italy and expresso!
A grand time - on my next visit to Montreal, whether it's with students or my husband, I will certainly do another tour with Local Montreal. I'm thinking the Brewpub tour next time, although J would enjoy the neighborhood tours as well as the food tour. So much fun, and very high quality tour guides and information. Fascinating and fun. Can't wait to do it again (and I love Montreal!!!)
