Enjoy this exclusive, half-day introduction to the history and passionate culture of our cosmopolitan city, followed by a lunch in one of Montreal’s select restaurants.

Among the fascinating visits planned:

• The winding cobbled streets and charming historic buildings of Old Montreal meld past and present together as the sounds of a vibrant modern city blend with the echoes of a proud history.
• Sainte-Hélène and Notre Dame Islands, site of the World's Fair in 1967, and now where celebrities and locals place their bets at the Casino de Montréal, and cheer for the fearless drivers at the Grand Prix racetrack.
• Notre Dame Basilica's regal exterior is matched by its awe-inspiring interior, replete with ornate sculpted wood interior and stained glass windows that tell the story of the tiny colony that grew into the great city of Montreal.
• The "Golden Square Mile," with its blend of elegant nineteenth century mansions and posh hotels, is where Montrealers live in high style.
• Mount Royal Park is the city's favourite playground, offering nature at its most resplendent in the middle of the city's urban core.
• The Latin Quarter is a hot spot for gastronomy, culture and festivals. With its Victorian row houses and unique outdoor staircases, this area is home to trendy restaurants, cafés, and clubs.
• Lunch at a selected Montreal restaurant.

Including:

Professional English-speaking guide for the duration of the tour, round-trip motorcoach transportation, 3-course lunch with one soft drink at a selected restaurant, Notre-Dame Basilica entrance fees, signage and gratuities.
