Magnifique! Viator Tour…read more Omg, I had the pleasure to do this Walking ‍ Food Tour w/ Dominique. She's great @ her job & has a whimsical personality. Everyone loved her bc she made us all feel Welcomed. There's a pop quiz in the beginning, hahahaha, Nah! I'm joking! She will ask, where ur from, so don't 4get, Lol We went to "The Famous Bagel shop" & a few other shops along our route. All restauranteurs were friendly to us. Most of us didn't speak Parla Vous Francais, but that was ok, bc they speak fluent English in the downtown area. Not , so much outside of downtown, if u venture out. We met @ The Famous Guillame breakfast nook & I bought a Guillame yellow tote bag which came in handy later @ other stores. I threw everything I bought; into this hefty bag. Ok, bk to the walking food tour. It was cold , but bc Dominique was so professional & organized, we didn't have time to feel cold we bounced flawlessly from restaurant to restaurant in ease. She told stories about each restaurant as we ate. U don't have time to get bored bc she keeps u moving. So, don't diddle dally, Lol I'm not sure , if you'll met @ the same spot as we did, but nonetheless; you'll like it. What's funny , i thought i was gonna meet ppl from around the world in our group, but it was mostly ppl from the U. S. A. All East coast at that, bc we don't like to stay home hahaha the world is our oyster . Far north were ppl from Maine, Alaska, Boston, NYC, & Long Island ain't that Special? Hahahaha! So, we felt @ home & the cold didn't bother us bc Montréal weather is like all those States or actually Maine , Alaska & Boston r the coldest probably colder than Montreal. If u wear the right coat or Parker jacket you'll be fine. I'd definitely, do this Tour again. What was nice is now I may do one in NYC when I return. The only difference is I'll have to hold my breath; pass all the Urine smells from the homeless on the streets; yuck Oh, I 4got, she doesn't like u talking bad about where ur from even if it's true. Lol Viator Tours is the way 2 go. I recommend, Dominique she's very attentive including everyone. Even if u come solo, bc some friends or spouses don't like to do the same things. U won't feel lonely or out of place most of us talked w/ each other& had fun. Our Tour was during the Hockey Tournament & Valentine's weekend. It was nice! Book a tour what do u have to lose?

He walked us to the station, helped us purchase our tickets and clearly told us which lines to take and which stops were the most convenient. Daniel is gracious and welcoming.

I was also interested in the First Nations history he brought to our attention. In addition, he addressed the art and architecture of the city. We are very senior folks, and he tailored the pace and length of our two-hour tour to our physical abilities, as well as our intellectual curiosities. Daniel even took the time to guide us through the machinery at the Metro station so we could buy our fare tickets to go on to a museum in the new city when our time with him was sadly over. I can't recommend Daniel highly enough and Guidatour for its wonderful service.

Museum of Jewish Montreal isn't a traditional museum. Its museum space hosts cultural events but…read morethe main way that people interact with the museum is through the walking tours of Montreal they offer. When I was planning a solo trip to Montreal recently, I knew I had to take in one of their walking tours. I only had time for one (I would have done more than one if I'd had one more day), so I picked "Beyond the Bagel" - 3-4 hour walking tour of Mile End and Plateau. It was fantastic. My tour (on a weekend) was small - just me and another couple. Our tour guide was great - very knowledgeable and friendly. And it was amazing to not have to wait in line to get to try some of those famous Jewish Montreal foods (I was especially grateful for this when we stopped at Schwartz's and I saw that line). I learned so much, got to see so much of a few of Montreal's historic Jewish neighborhoods, and tried some great food. I definitely recommend this tour (and others) if you're interested in the history of Montreal's Jewish community, Montreal's Jewish foods (including Montreal bagels, smoked meats, and more), or just want to see a different part of Montreal! I highly recommend this experience!

We met at Rialto Theater with 8 of us. Our guide had pastries ready which is a great way to start off, and then we walked into Cheskie's bakery where they were from to see what it look liked inside. Then we took a walk while she talked about the original history of the neighborhood, tried their local bagels (kind of sweet as made with honey water, had it with Liberté cream cheese which I'm told is the only way to go), we walked to another bakery to get some rugelach, and ended up getting pastrami from Schwartz's which had a huge line (that we were able to cut!) We saw a lot of historic buildings, some used for new purposes, some just the former locations. It was really interesting. If you come, bring a big bottle of water! It's a lot of walking and that's not included in the food. I got to try a lot of food I hadn't before and if i were in town longer, I'd hit up those establishments for other goodies. A lot of learning and good snacks. It's a lot of carbs though! You will be full. So do the walking tour, it ends at the museum which is not much, but at least you can sit a sec before carrying on with your day. Was really fun and unique!

It was 3 hours long and did involve a moderate amount of walking. The poutine and Mediterranean food were the standouts during this tour.

Location: TBD - you and Marko will decide where you want to go. In my case, I was part of a small…read moregroup of Yelpers and the location had been predetermined (Southwest). He's pretty open and will meet you pretty much anywhere. Marko's style: Marko is awesome. All you need to know! But seriously - Marko is a local photographer who's really enthusiastic about his craft and this comes through in his teaching style. He's incredibly patient and can easily adapt his style based on the level of knowledge of those partaking in his photo walks. The walks typically last about 2-2.5 hours and throughout, Marko will often stop to offer up tips and tricks, whether these be about exposure, composition, lighting or how to frame a shot in a unique way. I've been practicing photography for about twenty years and I totally left this walk with some new knowledge under my belt, and a renewed I desire to get back to SLR. Marko really knows his stuff and I plan to do a 1:1 with him when it's warmer. Ok, a LOT warmer! Verdict: If you're newbie looking to learn about photography, or a seasoned pro looking to hone your craft, Marko will cater to your level, and you'll walk away knowing it was money well-spent.

Yesterday my husband and I went on Marko's 3.5-hour photo tour of Montreal. (We were visiting…read moreMontreal from the USA). This morning I woke up pinching myself to test and see if it was all just a dream, or if we had really experienced such an incredible time. I am the primary family photographer; my husband is a fully functional photographer, loves to learn and was happy to join me in the adventure. Marko began with a 30-minute clear, easy-to-follow mini-lecture on basic exposure and camera techniques. While most of this was not new to me, it was good to hear it stated in such a clear, concise way. Then...the tour. Oh...my goodness! Marko totally not only knows photography...he knows how to TEACH photography. And Marko knows Montreal! He is an instructor who is keenly aware of just the right pace, suggestions, critique, and encouragement his students need. He has more love and enthusiasm for what he does than should be legal! If you spend a couple of hours with Marko and your heart for photography hasn't grown five times bigger...you may want to take your pulse to check if you HAVE a heart. Whether you are a beginner, or feel like you have a fairly good grasp on basic photography, exposure, composition, etc. - this is a tour that will change the way you use your camera as well as change the way you see your world. Marko is an experienced, professional, and excellent photographer - and an energetic teacher and coach. To top it all off...this morning I had an email from Marko with links to TWO of his e-books. They are both excellent and are filled with photographs taken by Marko. Exposure Exposed is 100 pages of pictures and easy to follow instructions, tips, and clearly explained techniques. These just add to the treasure! Our day ended with our heads and hearts full - and with the joy of having made a new friend. Thanks, Marko!

This review is for their "Dome Experience", but applies to any tour they offer with food…read more Made reservations for Saturday through TripAdvisor, and received confirmation 7 days prior to our trip. I was planning on surprising my wife with a nice romantic dinner. She had an accident a few years ago and has lasting daily symptoms from her brain injury and loud restaurants are very difficult for her. Noise cancelling headphones help her, but it just extends the period of time before she is exhausted by a little bit. When I found these dome experiences, it was perfect, we could go out to eat without the background noise in an amazing setting! Arrived on Saturday and they could not find our reservations, I had downloaded the tickets from TripAdvisor. Initially, he tried to tell me it was for the boat restaurant, but the tickets clearly said dome experience. He called the owner and after a bit, the owner told him we cancelled. We did not cancel, nor does TripAdvisor allow any cancellations of this particular experience. I was extremely disappointed, but what we saw while we were there waiting softened the blow a bit. Upon getting back to our hotel later, I logged into my credit card account, and did indeed see a refund for the tour 4 days after we booked, but we never received any email notification on that, and had no idea. Assuming they aren't synced up properly, and possibly overbooked between their website and the 3rd party site. Now back to what we saw while there... When we arrived, we were slightly early, so we boarded the boat, and went downstairs to use the restroom, which is the main dining area. There was a large rack that held plates of food (over a dozen) in the main hallway, all uncovered, and less than 5' from the Men's room door. While in the restroom, there was a small home type soap dispenser that was completely empty, and upon my wife completing her visit to the ladies room, she mentioned the same thing for the women's room. Got a very bad vibe of the cleanliness of the entire operation, and in reading reviews for the boat experience (which is the same food as the dome), many review complained about poor tasting food, hair in food, etc. Certainly, if they had plates of food yet to be served out in the full open near the men's room, I can only imagine what we're not seeing behind the scenes. Ended up walking back to Old Town and going to the Keg steakhouse. My wife didn't last long there, and it was not the experience we wanted, but the food was excellent. I'm hoping that the place gets a visit from health inspectors, as the issue that we saw alone had to be a code violation and nobody bothering with soap in the bathrooms, which were the only bathrooms there, so the employees use them too. If you do end up going, I imagine the domes are incredible, just maybe bring your own food! (Kidding of course, they would not allow)
