Born and raised in Montreal, I have lived in the city my entire life and developed a passion for it at a very young age. I was one of those marketing professionals that grew tired of everyday office life and now find myself promoting the city that I love. While I do have a wicked sense of humour I also am a person with many interests and can engage with travelers and locals alike on many levels. I am a foodie at heart and love talking about food and the culinary treasures that Montreal has to offer. I am well-travelled person and love to discover countries and cities through their culture and food. Don't even get me started on Italy and New Orleans (it might take some time). Many say that I have a warm, dynamic, friendly, and outgoing personality but I prefer to say that I am most happy when the people whom I am with are left content. I have also been told that I have a clear radio-friendly voice that is pleasing to the ear. Je peux aussi faire la visite en français. Il suffit d'en faire la demande! - Licensed Professional Montreal City Tourist Guide - Licensed Quebec City tourist guide - Member of the Montreal Professional Tourist Guide Association (APGT) - Covered by Group Liability Insurance (with the APGT) None

Ronny was an excellent guide for our family of the old part of Montreal. He was very accommodating and thoughtful. He gave us all the historical highlights we were looking for - at a great pace and personalized to our interests. Highly recommend!

The Best Tour We’ve Ever Taken! (5+ Stars) We have done numerous guided tours across Europe and Canada, and this was by far our favorite to date. Ronny truly made our afternoon special! Why This Tour Stood Out: An Incredible Introduction: Ronny gave us an amazing introduction to the city that has left us wanting to explore even more. Many teasers during the stroll. And his spoken english is impeccable. Depth & Context: He didn't just rattle off facts; he provided deep history, pointed out beautiful architecture, and offered a broader context that made the city come alive. Passion & Vibe: What really set this tour apart was Ronny's personal perspective and genuine passion. He helped us truly feel the great vibe of the area. Tailored to Us: He actively listened to what we were interested in and adjusted the tour based on our needs, making the entire experience feel personal and unique. If you are looking for an exceptional, personalized tour guide, we cannot recommend Ronny highly enough!
