The experience

Board a coach in Montreal and spend 3.5 hours passing hundreds of historical and cultural landmarks without leaving your seat. The guide narrates in English or French as you cruise through Old Montreal (the historic center that still holds the charm and influences of earlier centuries), then along the Old Port with its panoramic views before pulling up to Notre-Dame Basilica, a Gothic Revival masterpiece in the heart of the city.

The route climbs to Mount Royal Park, a scenic lookout with a striking view of downtown and the river, then continues to St Joseph's Oratory atop the mountain. The basilica's dome reaches 320 feet, second in height only to St Peter's in Rome. From there the coach moves through other highlights: Montreal Olympic Park, built for the 1976 Summer Games; Bonsecours Market and Jacques-Cartier Square in Old Montreal; Place Ville Marie; and Montreal's Chinatown. The commentary ties the sights together so you understand what you're looking at instead of just passing it.

The coach is air-conditioned and the pace is steady: no walking tours, no stops to climb stairs, no early starts. This works for families with infants (they sit on a lap), for anyone who wants to cover the city's major attractions in one morning or afternoon, and for people who prefer to absorb Montreal from a moving vantage point rather than on foot.
