Description
Explore Montreal, from millenia of First Nations presence to the metropolis we know and cherish. Find out what makes this city unique.
If you want to experience the historical side to Montreal without omitting the more day-to-day aspects, you are in luck! You will see what makes the old city so special when you go down the cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old buildings. From churches, banks, markets and more, explore the four "eras" that marked the history of the city: First Nations, French, British, and Canadian/Quebec.
This is the perfect tour for getting to know how Montreal became the city it is. As you walk with me, you'll glance at various buildings from different centuries. That said, it's at Place d'Armes, right across from the basilica, where it all blends into one giant image, unlocking the secret to what makes this city so unique!
