Had the best tour with Lesley! Everything was great. From the moment she introduced herself, to the interesting and humorous facts and stories to the list of helpful suggestions on what to do/see/eat/drink for the rest of our stay. I would recommend anyone visiting Montreal to book a tour with Lesley! She’s a born and bred local who was so friendly and made us feel so welcome in her city!!

The history of old Montreal was amazing! LESLEY has so much knowledge and family background. Loved all her great tips. Going into the first church was so particularly nice. Really enjoyed Lesley and her tour.
Great tour with an outstanding guide

Lesley was an outstanding guide. Very friendly and engaging. Excellent tour of the Old Town filled with great historical information and stories. Well paced.
At the end of our tour, Lesley provided a sheet with recommended restaurants, cafes, bars and other places to explore plus a beautiful post card to take as a souvenir.
Very professional guide. She sent a follow up email that afternoon inviting any questions. I asked about directions to the Allan Institute and she responded with detailed instructions about how to get to the mansion as well as a suggested itinerary of other sights to explore nearby. It formed another beautiful day of sightseeing for us in Montreal. Truly above and beyond. Outstanding customer service from an excellent guide. Highly recommend Lesley of MTL DeTours.
Wonderful time!

Our guide Lesley was knowledgeable
added personal stories to bring some of what we saw to life. She was professional, pleasant and made everyone feel comfortable. She managed the time and the different group needs well. Loved her tips and her the photos she shared on her iPad of the different seasons.
Lovely tour guide and tour

Although we've been to Montreal before, we learned so much about the history of Old Montreal. Lesley is passionate and knowledgable about Old Montreal which made for a fun tour. She was extremely responsive prior to the tour and even followed up after the tour with additional suggestions and ideas for our visit. It was a nice way to spend a crisp, beautiful morning in Montreal! We highly recommend taking Lesley's tour of Old Montreal!
Great way to be introduced to Montreal.

Lesley was a wonderful tour guide. She was personable and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about her home city of Montreal. She showed us the main places and some off the beaten track kind of places which really added to the whole wonderful experience. I recommend Lesley wholeheartedly if you are searching for a tour of Montreal.

Lesley is very knowledgeable and you can tell she is very excited and passionate about her tours! I was on vacation with my family and everyone really enjoyed it. She does a great job of explaining all of the history and culture of Montreal, but adds in her recommendations for food, bars, etc.
Amazing tour and tour guide!

Excellent introduction to Montreal

Lesley was a fantastic tour guide, walking us through the architecture, history, and social and economic development of Montréal while highlighting must visit cafés, bakeries, bars, and restaurants along the way. She was inclusive, energetic, and very passionate, and frequently checked in with the tour to adjust and tailor as needed. After the tour she gave a list of restaurant and bar recommendations, and we followed up on several and loved them! Would highly recommend.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
