I was born in Montreal in the district Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Globetrotter, very young I travelled across the world: Europe, North Africa, Latin America, the United States and Canada. Extended stays in the cities of Paris, Los Angeles and Toronto. Traveler, student and practising a thousand and one jobs. Studies in Dramatic Art at the Academy of Dramatic Art of Montreal, self-taught painter, and formation as a tourist guide at the Quebec Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (ITHQ), my experiences and my academic studies give me the essential tools to understand and tell about the Montreal and Quebec life of yesterday and today. Curious, I keep posted about the avant-garde Montrealer in the arts, the culture and the social movements. Very good historic knowledge of Montreal, Quebec and Canada, with more than 30 years of experience as Tour Leader and Guide in North America and, since 2002, Tour Guide of the City of Montreal with license and permit. Working with an international clientele, of different cultures and religions as well as with the LGBTQI+ community, I know how to adapt myself to several situations to give you unforgettable visits of my country. Licensed Montreal City Tour Guide. Certified ITHQ (Tourism and Hotel Management) as a Montreal Tourist Guide in 2001/2002. Member of APGT (Professional Association of Tourist Guides of Montreal). Quebec Driving licence. First Aid Training - First Aid/AP1.5H/Basic Life Support AED (C) 8 H . Tour Leader and Tour Guide in Canada since 1992. Vaccinated against Covid 19.

Overview of your Montreal tour

Car visit to the Laurentians region. From Montreal, we take the road of the North towards the Low and High Laurentians, sprinkled with lakes, hills and forests. This region of Quebec Province fascinates by its history and its natural beauty. Important holiday resort since the beginning of the 20th century, it's a privileged place for Montrealers. Get to know the colonization history of the region with Catholic Priest Labelle's project to found new parishes to stop the exodus of French Canadians towards New England. These settlers came in mid-19th century to clear lands and to build "Le P'tit Train du Nord", a 200-km railway between St-Jérôme and Mont-Laurier. "Le P'tit Train du Nord" (The Little Northern Train) is now a linear park and a bike trail during summer. Discover the unforgettable villages of the Laurentians: St-Jérôme, St-Sauveur, Val David, St-Jovite, the Old-Tremblant Village and Mont-Tremblant. Enjoy spare time or stay with your guide to explore more of these charming places.

Pierre is a great tour guide. He showed me a lot of lakes on this tour which was really awesome. If ever in Montreal and you want to see outside of Montreal. Pierre is the man!

Great tour. Saw both the mountains area and hidden parts of the city. Most enjoyable with knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended.

Our guide was knowledgeable and very cooperative in trying to achieve our specific requests about seeing the area and understanding the culture of Quebec. To make a cold, wet day enjoyable is not easy but he did an excellent job.

We had a second delightful day with Pierre up to the Laurentian Mountains stopping at charming French villages along the way. Saw the bike riders using the old paths leading up through the mountains. Again we stopped for treats at a bakery and chocolate shop and then had lunch in Mont Tremblant. All in all a wonderful day.

We engaged Pierre Carl for 2 tours during our Montreal stay. The 1st was a walking tour and the 2nd a tour by private car to Mont-Tremblant. He was thoroughly versed in the history and culture of Montreal, providing a fact-filled walk through the old city, the nuances of neighborhoods, the facets of architecture and many beautiful features and details of the Notre-Dame Basilica. He accommodated our group's physical limits, and showed us a good cross-section of Montreal and it region. Thanks again.
