We had an incredible private tour of Montreal, and Rene made the entire experience unforgettable! He went above and beyond in every way possible. What stood out the most was his remarkable patience, warmth, and attention to detail. My mom uses a walker, and he was extraordinarily accommodating and helpful—constantly opening doors, ensuring easy access everywhere we went, and making sure she felt comfortable and included every step of the way. He was completely flexible with our schedule and even took fantastic photos of us throughout the trip so we could just relax and enjoy the sights together. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable, accommodating, and truly top-tier guide in Montreal—especially if traveling with family or someone with mobility needs—look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! Rene, you have a kind heart. My mom and I really enjoyed your company and your entire tours. May God bless you always! P.S. The foods were DELICIOUS! We might have to come back to Montreal just to have another round of those! 😄

Welcome! Bienvenue! My name is Rene and after 22 years working in the clothing industry I decided to make a carrer change and do what I love and I do best: Receive, entertain and guide visitors trough beautiful Montreal, the Canadian cultural capital, that offers to its visitors more than 100 festivals every year, a great diversity of museums, outdoor activities, sports, markets, restaurantes, craft breweries , and a vibrant cosmopolitan way of living, among many other interesting things. I love travelling, ( have been to 40 different countries around the globe), people, food, architecture, cycling and history are my passions in life. Throughout all this years discovering the world, I have come to realize that the best way to really discover and understand any place is trough its local people. I love to receive clients as if they where my own family, always in a friendly and respectful manner and adapting my tours to their specific interest and needs. With experience working with diverse international clients, I understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and inclusivity. I respect and celebrate different cultures, religions, and identities, tailoring my tours to ensure an unforgettable experience for all, whether you're part of the LGBTQI+ community or exploring with family and friends from around the world. I have been told many times that what makes my tours so special, is my outgoing friendly and enthusiastic personality and my knowledge and passion for Montreal. Licensed by the city of Montreal. Certified Montreal tour guide by the ITHQ. Member of the APGT ( profesional tourist guide association). Bike tour guide certified by Velo-Quebec. Covered by group liability insurance (With APGT). First aid trained. None restrictions. I can guide on my private vehicle ( up to 4 persons) If transportation for a larger group is required I can arrange a vehicle for up to 8 persons.

We truly enjoyed a lovely sunny day out in Montréal with Réné! We got to ride e-bikes to two delicious markets, and along the way we enjoyed some beautiful views, the F1 race track, some architecture, some history of Montréal, and more. It was just perfect for us, and I think it's because Réné has a gift for knowing what our pace is and adjusting accordingly. Highly recommended!
We just returned from a lovely day exploring Montreal with Rene. He was the perfect guide, full of knowledge and humor! He was happy to tailor the tour to our requests, and fed us along our journey :) He will surely be an important part of our memories made in this beautiful city!
Rene was awesome! Hi expertise of all the Montreal from when it was formed to today was very interesting and informative. He took us to everything we wanted to see and more. We highly recommend him to all who visits Montreal.
"Exceeded expectations" - words expressed by our group for DAYS after we toured with Rene. An amazing time learning tons while having a great time!
This was our first experience with Tours by Locals and we picked a great guide! He was so knowledgeable about Montreal history and related history in general. We were staying in Old Montreal so this tour took us to areas we more than likely would not have discovered on our own. The food at all the places we stopped was fabulous. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
