Private Tour Guide In
Montreal

Bonjour / Hi / ¡Hola!

The two most frequently asked questions on my tours are whether I am a native Montrealer and what my favourite "thing" about our city is.The answer to the first question is "yes", and the answer to the second is "multiculturalism", which in my view, best defines Montreal.

My boundless energy and limitless curiosity have taken me to far-flung places around the globe, but like a boomerang, I always return to my hometown, because nothing quite compares.In addition, having grown up in a bilingual household, I embody the duality which exists here between the French and English cultures.

Sharing my enthusiasm and bragging about Montreal with visitors are what it's all about.Although I have a penchant for great food (my mother is from France after all!), history, art and architecture, what I enjoy most about guiding is the interaction with participants on my tours through storytelling.My wish is that they come away not so much with a tour or a lecture, but with an experience, which is precisely what I offer.

First-timers will enjoy my classic tours while those wanting to venture further afield can opt for a visit of one of several neighbourhoods.And if art is your thing, why not choose from my series of signature tours, "If our sculptures could talk", available in three locations downtown and in Old Montreal.

Choose from several private tours offered by a licensed trilingual tourist guide and native Montrealer.We'll go at your pace and talk about the subjects that interest you.As for the younger set, my goal is, through storytelling, to breathe life into the historical figures and events they've heard about in school.To cover even more ground, I also offer bicycle tours.

Let me show you around to give you a deeper understanding of Montreal--and maybe even make you feel like a local.
