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

From your hotel we go to the discovery of Montreal. By car and on foot we visit various neighborhoods of the City. With its history and architecture, Old Montreal will bring us to the period of New France, and the Colonial English period up to the Golden Age of Canada at the end of the 19th century. At the foot of Mount Royal, the Upper City, former residential area of the Anglo-Saxon elite. It has since become Montreal Downtown. A bit further, we discover the trendy districts of Griffintown, Saint-Henri, La Petite Patrie with its big public market offering the flavors of Quebec tradition. Westmount, a city in the city, sits on one of the summits of the island. Outremont, its French-speaking twin, grew up in the early 1920's when the more fortunate families settled down a little more northward. The Plateau, a former working-class district, is now the multi-cultural place of residence of many artists, young professionals, families, intellectuals and was the adoptive neighborhood of Leonard Cohen

Pierre Carl did a wonderful job of personalizing our tour taking into account the ages and differing goals of our diverse group. We discovered a number of locations and neighborhoods that we did not know existed. He is very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and neighborhoods of his home city.

Wonderful tour, Pierre is a knowledgeable and courteous guide. You will not be disappointed. If your group numbers more than 3, ask for a larger vehicle. He has a sun roof which opens up the skyline to view as you tour. He knows the districts and can point out many interesting facts. Outstanding.

Pierre gave us a great 1-day tour of Montreal. He was thorough and very knowledgeable of Montreal history and sights. We had no idea what to expect as this was our first tour with tours by locals and he exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

Pierre Carl is a very knowledgeable guide and gave us a great background on all the sites we visited. Knowing our interest in local cuisine, he stopped at two special locations for lunch and an afternoon snack. We enjoyed our day and can recommend Pierre Carl for your tour of Montreal.
