The Experience
What your day looks like
Discover all the highlights of Montreal with an expert private guide. The city is famous for its historic architecture dating as far back as 1642 when the city was founded by French missionaries as Ville Marie (City of Mary) as well as for being a global hub for contemporary arts - especially Jazz, street art, and the Cirque du Soleil. Admire the French colonial architecture in Old Montreal and compare it with the modern skyscrapers and epic murals, graffiti, and street art around Saint Laurent Boulevard. Take in the awesome panoramic views from Mount Royal Park, and admire the impressive dome of the Saint Joseph Oratory; the most iconic landmark of the city with one of the largest domes in the world. The basilica is a Catholic shrine that can seat 2000 people and attracts millions of pilgrims each year. Return via a refreshing walk in the peaceful Jean Drapeau Park, as well as photo stops at the Olympic Stadium or the Gilles Villeneuve racing circuit!
