This GuruWalk was a fantastic introduction to two of Montréal’s most interesting neighborhoods. The guide brought the Plateau and Mile End to life with engaging stories about the area’s architecture, immigrant communities, Jewish heritage, local artists, Leonard Cohen, and street-art culture. It felt much more meaningful than simply walking through the streets on our own. The route was well paced, informative, and easy to follow, with a great mix of history, culture, and local recommendations. Finishing at St-Viateur Bagel was the perfect ending and gave us a chance to try one of Montréal’s iconic foods. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience a more local and authentic side of the city.

A nice opportunity to learn a little about the history of the the Mile End neighborhood. Our tour guide was professional, polite and knowledgeable. While our guide shared a variety of information it was 75% centered around the Jewish community, however I would have liked to hear and learn more about community as a whole and not just a singular group. Overall a good tour, a pleasant start to our trip as it filled our afternoon.

Carla is a fantastic, passionate tour guide and really introduced us to the wonderful Mile End area and food scene. We loved it so much we extended our trip and went back to the food places many times. Can't rate this tour highly enough it is in our top 3 for sure and we have done over 50 gurwalks.

Nel complesso una buona e interessante visita, la guida Bernardo molto preparata. La visita nella prima parte è stata condizionata dalla pioggia, per cui abbiamo seguito un itinerario diverso da quello indicato. Nella seconda parte, nonostante non piovesse più purtroppo sono stati tralasciati alcuni luoghi della città di Montreal molto rilevanti tra cui la Brasilica di Notre Dame, che erano invece indicati nell’applicazione di Guru Walk tra le tappe che avremmo visitato. La visita non ha quindi rispettato totalmente le mie aspettative di cosa avremmo visto, nonostante sia stata una visita piacevole della città.

The best way to enjoy a city is to understand its roots. The fastest and most entertaining way to get a head start is with a tour with Benjamin. Took a Mile End tour on a Sunday afternoon ! Highly recommended

Great tour to see some of the highlights of the mile end and learn about the history of immigration to the area, some notable characters that lived there, and also an insight into life today. Benjamin was fantastic and has obviously put a lot of work into creating a unique and interesting walking tour

overall pleasant tour. guide saying most people tip $25 was bit offputting. takes away from pay what you can based on budget and your experience spirit of free walking tours. also seemed high for a 12 person 2-hour tour.

Benjamin grew up in Montreal. His family is from here. He is very enthusiastic about the tour and gave a lot of information as well as showed us pictures of Montreal in 1800. I enjoyed the history of Montreal, and felt we learned a lot of Montreal years ago.

El tour se centra en lo que explican en la descripción. Tras una cancelación una semana anterior para el día que teníamos planteada, pudimos hacerla al día siguiente. Al llegar al meeting point, comenzó nuestra gymkana, ya que nuestro guía nos llevaba corriendo a todas partes, en lugar de estar un poco pendientes como suele ser habitual. Nos ha facilitado muchísima información, alguna muy anema e interesante, aunque el hilo conductor de la visita me faltó para tener todo con sentido. Tomamos unos minutos más del tiempo establecido y así poder finalizar todo el tour. Nos llevó por algunos edificios curiosos, y explicó detalles de la ciudad, especialmente nombrando en todas las ocasiones que podía las Primeras Naciones, así como demasiadas opiniones personales que quizás no eran del interés o agrado de la mayoría. Se nota que tiene mucha información que contar pero quizás un poco más de empatía con el grupo hiciera que la visita fuera más interesante..

Great tour by Benjamin! He was super knowledgable and passionate about the area. Learned a lot of cool things about the history of Montreal. As the son of immigrants it was a very compelling way to see/learn about the city.

If you want to truly discover the soul of Montreal, this guide is an absolute must. Our tour of Mile End was incredible from start to finish. Carla's knowledge of the neighborhood's history, the vibrant street art scene, and the local culture was deeply impressive. Thanks to them, we discovered the absolute best bagel spots and hidden artistic cafes that we never would have found on our own. Passionate, engaging, and highly professional, 10/10

Carla was a fabulous guide - friendly, informative and passionate about her neighbourhood. Mile End is Montreal’s most eclectic, walkable enclave. She also provided a brief history of Canada / Montreal / Mile End - that ties into the culinary variety in this neighborhood. Her tour is highly recommended!!
