Tour description
Montreal stretches over a 50km long island and the old city is located on the shores of San Lorenzo. In just 375 years it was founded by French missionaries in 1642, 3 centuries of history that made Montreal the first major commercial center in Canada.
In this free walking tour we will visit:
- Plaza de Armas: Monument to the founders.
- Notre-Dame Basilica: masterpiece, considered one of the splendid churches in North America
- Bank of Montreal
- Seminary
- St-Jacques Street: In this "Wall Street" of Canada where the statement "Montreal was the metropolis of Canada" takes on all its meaning. Bold architecture, banks and insurance companies, very beautiful facades etc.
- Plaza Victoria: Park, subway, underground city, ICAO and World Trade Center.
- Porto Vecchio: In its glory days and for centuries it was one of the most important inland ports in North America.

Indicó 12h antes que el tour no se iba a realizar [era el desfile del pride] con un mensaje en guruwalk pero nunca lo llegó a cancelar, asistimos la punto de encuentro pero nunca apareció...
hubiésemos agradecido que lo hubiese cancelado oficialmente y con más anticipación.

En general, nos pareció bueno el recorrido, la guru tiene buen manejo del español sin embargo agregaba muchas palabras en francés, lo qué confundía a las personas que estábamos en el tour. Recomendaría prestar más atención a todo el grupo, ya que en ocasiones se alejaba de varios integrantes, también tratar en lo posible de seguir el plan y los horarios establecidos. Muchas gracias Helene!
