The Best of Montreal Tour with Boat Cruise

About this experience

The Best of Montreal Tour with Boat Cruise This comprehensive Montreal tour combines the city's top attractions with a scenic river cruise, giving you both land and water perspectives of Canada's cultural capital. Your local guide collects you from your hotel for a small-group experience limited to just six guests, ensuring personalised attention throughout your six-hour exploration. The tour covers Montreal's essential highlights: Mount Royal's panoramic viewpoints, the magnificent St Joseph's Oratory basilica, and Olympic Park with its distinctive architecture from the 1976 Summer Olympics. You'll also see the Biodome, which showcases four American ecosystems, whilst your guide shares the stories behind each landmark. From May to October, your day concludes with a 90-minute narrated cruise along the St Lawrence River from the historic Old Port. Winter visitors (November to April) experience La Grande Roue instead, Canada's largest observation wheel offering heated cabins and spectacular city views.
