Our first morning in Montreal and Lesley gave us an outstanding overview of the city, the history, the culture, the arts and the food. She kept the tour moving at a good pace, with stops in the shade and occasional spots to sit while she shared a story or an insight into things to see and do beyond the tour. Highly recommend!
Well worth the 2 hours and fee. Amazing tour.

We did the walking tour of old Montreal with Lesley. Lesley is an outstanding guide. We have done many tours in the past and Lesley’s was the best. She has a great personality and is extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much in the 2 hours we were with her. Highly recommend this tour. You should start your visit to Montreal with her tour as it will help you explore and enjoy Montreal with all of the information she provides.We loved the special treats she gave us at the end of the tour.
One of the most informative walking tours ever

Lesley is a born and raised Montreal citizen, and a true fount of history, people, cultures, stories - and humor! She expertly guided us through Old Montreal, pointing out the depth of history at that point, how things have evolved over the centuries, the characters involved, and even a speak easy! The time just evaporated and there's so much more we could learn from her. She even provided a list of things to include in a visit to Montreal (so we have to come back!) Really admire this gifted personable woman and her knowledge.

My husband, 13 year old granddaughter and I took the Exploring Old Montreal tour with Lesley as our guide. Lesley was one of the best tour guides I have ever encountered. She weaved a wonderful story about the city that was very engaging and even kept a 13 year old’s interest for two hours. She even gave us gifts of candy and postcards at the end of the tour.
Excellent tour

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
