Gray Line Montréal

Great tour, Andre our guide was fun and knowledgable, great way to spend a frosty day and still see the sights.

I guess I was lucky to have Jean as a tour guide because the other ones based on the reviews seem pretty bad.
At $ 50ish a head this tour is worth it IMO. Tour started at 11am, out by 2, but you still have to drive back to the original stop so it takes longer.
Tour was very informative and the driver was funny and knowledgeable! In order to really explore and drive around Montréal I think this tour is well worth it as you can learn some stuff along the way.
1 stop in old Montréal for 30 minutes, two quick 5 minutes stops along the old Olympic Stadium and church.
It’s a quick, brief tour since they don’t really allow you to explore through most of the spots, a good option if you’re time limited and just want to stroll through Montréal pretty quickly!

I am writing this review because I am absolutely disgusted with this 2 day tour.
Firstly I want to say on the first day when we actually stayed for the entire tour our guide I think his name was Roberto was amazing and I would recommend going on the bus with him, he was very helpful and funny.
Unfortunately the second day ruined it for me, we were waiting at the stop we thought was the right one which we were wrong it was up the road the driver laughed as he drove past we did run up the road and manage to jump on big mistake, we had to wait outside while the driver was incredibly rude and when we finally got on he asked us why we were waiting at the wrong stop. The guide was sitting taking up a whole side seat we had to fit 4 people in the one seat he was busy eating his lunch and making digs at people hoping off about tipping him, he said over the speaker so many times that you should tip the guide and it’s rude not to, this went on most of the time we were on, even the driver was making comments about how we need to tip the guide. I was horrified at the arrogance of the guide and driver we paid $ 55 for this not worth it but then again if you hop on a different bus it could be fine.

We loved this! We got the combo night and evening hop on hop off. We did the evening tour first, it’s an hour and a half unguided, but it was great for getting us acclimated to the city. Nina was on board to answer any questions. She was friendly and knowledgable. We did the day tour the next day and loved it; it is a two hour guided tour in French and English. The bus broke down but we had a new one within 5 minutes. The tour guide, forgot his name, was excellent and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend taking the whole tour before deciding what you want to see. Montréal is beautiful at night. Sit on top of the double decker for great pictures opportunities.

We usually do a bus tour when we travel as of late. They are touristy but they do give a decent general over view of the city. Bus tours are what they are.
The Gray Line Montréal tour is a 2 hour tour. There are 8 stops and a bus comes about every 30 minutes. The cost is $ 50.00 per person which is not inexpensive. However, this is for 2 days and that enables people to go back the next day to see some destinations in more detail.
The bus stopped at Notre Dame, Old City, The Latin Quarter, St. Josephs, Mount Royal, The Plateau, etc, Gray Line has the open air double deck bus and one standard bus with A/​C and a bathroom.
The tour was given in English and French, some guides were better then others. The people at the stops were all very friendly.

Seemed kind of strange taking a Gray Line tour of my birthplace. Glad we did though. Our friends purchased our 2 day Hop On Hop Off tickets. Think it costed over $ 50 per ticket. Kind of pricey, but still worth it.
There were about 8 stops where you can hop off, and then hop back on another Gray Line bus later. We stopped at several stops to check out the various sites. We enjoyed the double decker buses the most. It was way cool to sit at the top, breathe in the fresh air, and admire the sights! All of the guides that we had were very informative and educational.
Bottom line is that it was very convenient to do Gray Line’s Hop On Hop Off tour. Sorry, but they do not offer it all year round. We were able to see and visit so many Montréal attractions in just two days. I do not think that we would have been able to accomplish all that we done without taking this tour. Would do it again!

Pricey. Two hours. Pretty fun. We had a great guide. Would I recommend it? No. I would not. Unless you don’t mind dropping $ 60 bucks per person plus tip. If that’s your thing, go for it.
