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.

Pierre Carl was a very pleasant guide who showed us the old and some of the new parts of downtown Montreal. He did such a good job, we wished we had more time to explore Montreal

Pierre Carl was a very knowledgeable and considerate tour guide. We had a wonderful day learning about the history and the nuances that make the city of Montreal so special.

Pierre Carl was absolutely terrific! His perfectly crafted walking tour of old Montréal and the underground was wonderful, full of history, color, and personality. He added so many rich textures to our tour, offered great recommendations on historic places to visit, museums and cultural areas to see, and wonderful places to eat and take in the views. At the end, he mentioned he even offers a Louise Penney (Inspector Gamache) tour, prompting my wife (a huge fan) to promise we’d be back some day (“soon”) for that. We could not have had a better tour or tour guide.
