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. I can guide walking, biking or in scooters.

Overview of your Montreal tour

Montreal is an island 8 times larger than Manhattan. Imagine all it has to offer outside of the main tourist attractions! On this full day tour, besides visiting the main attractions of Montreal I invite you to discover the local life in the suburbs . We will visit some municipalities and towns that are part of the Montreal Metropolitan region, their lakes, parks and way of life. We will start the tour at the eastern tip of the island of Montreal, discovering Sainte-Anne De Bellevue, its canal promenade with its boats and bustling stores and restaurants. The beautiful campus of John Abbott, belonging to McGill University, the town of Baie D'Urfe with its beautiful lakeshore blvd, Beaconsfield and Pointe-Claire village, with its beautiful yacht clubs and breathtaking views over Lac-St Louis.

Renee gave us incredible historical information about the history of the beautiful city of Montreal from its first settlers to current citizens. We experienced every area of the city as well as the entire island all the way to the furthest point of the West End. We made stops at all the major areas to take photos. He pointed out the influence of the English, Scottish, Irish and French in the areas we visited. Renee was always open to whatever our interests were throughout our 8 hour tour. We visited the largest Market north of Mexico where we had some delicious ice cream. We would highly recommend Renee as your tour guide if you ever visit Montreal.

Our tour guide was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. In addition he was very helpful and considerate as he toured us around helping us as needed. He tailored the tour to our interests and provided us with a wonderful overview of the city. We felt very grateful to have had him as our guide. Marcia Waldgeir

We had a delightful day with Pierre. I felt like I had had a civics lesson in addition to the anticipated review of some of the unusual things that make Quebec Provence and Montreal unique. I strongly recommend Pierre for a guide in Montreal

Why can I only rate this tour with five stars? Rene was unbelievable today and in the run up to our day-long tour of Montreal. Our family group of 10 absolutely adored him, and he couldn’t have been more engaging or accommodating. It was a ton of fun for everyone, and we feel like we learned (and tasted!) so much in this beautiful city. Merci, merci, Rene! You were incredible!
