Montreal Things to Do

If you think the Niagara Falls are impressive, the Montmorency Falls, which are only a few miles away from Quebec City and about 150 miles or so from Montreal, are even higher (just shy of a hundred feet higher, actually). Spectacular views abound – especially if you venture onto the suspension bridge or cable car. But what else is special about this spot?

If you’re traveling through Quebec and want a personalized look at Montreal, try private guide John McLaren! Through 14 years of being a tour guide, he has worked in Brazil, Argentina, the United States, and now he has adopted Canada as his home.

Old Montreal is best explored by foot – there’s no better way to fully appreciate the beautiful buildings and historic charm. On a guided walking tour, a local will lead you around the district, enlightening you about its history and architecture. See Notre Dame Basilica, City Hall, Place Jacques-Cartier, Place d’Armes and Bonsecours Market.
