I am Amelie and I have over 15 years of experience as a travel industry professional. I became a Montreal certified guide in 2016, after I fell in love with this amazing city. An avid traveler myself, I love to hear about the history of a city, its architecture and the people that have made it become what it is. As an anthropology graduate, I also love to learn about how people live in a city today. This is what I try to do with every visitor that join my tours: show them the Montreal "then and now". I also love street art, gastronomy, and cultural events, and I make sure to share that passion on my tours. From its many festivals, food scene, lifestyle, arts, cultural neighborhoods, many parks and green alleys, Montreal is a remarkable place to live (and to visit) and I would love to show you what made me fall in love with it!

Overview of your Montreal tour
This tour is your best introduction to Montreal! You will learn about how it went from being a small French outpost to become an international Metropolis. From its first peoples to the first European settlers and its recent immigrant communities, learn about the people that helped shape this vibrant city. We will discuss its harder times and economical revival, meanwhile remaining a very liveable city. I will show you beautiful public artwork, interesting architecture, and discuss the many events that give Montreal the reputation of being the Cultural Capital of Canada! You will see 17th century architecture neighbouring 21st century buildings, learn about the Chinese community, and finish in the former Red Light district, now a family-friendly festival and entertainment district that hosts world-class events every year. From the past to present, this tour is the one to put on your list of things to do while in Montreal!
