Kian was a fabulous tour...

Kian was a fabulous tour guide. We learned so much and had so much fun with him. It was very cold out, and he made sure to balance our time in and outside. When it was time to climb to the observation area of Mount Royal, he check with us several times to make sure we were comfortable. We were. Afterwards he brought us for bagels. These two New York ladies were a bit skeptical, but he was right. They were delicious! He also offered to bring us to try poutine, but we were full. He extended our tour overtime without us asking, and was willing to keep going, but we were wiped out! I highly recommend a private tour with Kian!
Nice custom tour

I was in Montreal in December during a two day snow storm ( it was beautiful really ) so my private tour by car was especially nice !! My guide knew so much about the city and every food stop was amazing ( bagels especially ) and coffee too !! I highly recommend this tour .. if like me ..you prefer to avoid the general public .. something more private ..you will have a great time. !!
Very professional,...

Kian is an amazing guide! This was our first trip to Montreal. Kian’s itinerary was perfect and took us to locations and neighborhoods we never would have seen otherwise. His knowledge of the city is extensive and personal, making each stop that much more interesting. We were willing to get out, walk, and explore with Kian and this made the tour that much better and unique. This tour, and Kian’s recommendations of other sites, restaurants, etc., left a lasting impression of the city. This is truly a great way to see the city!
A Must!

What a wonderful and educational day! Kian introduced us to the many must-see highlights (and secret wonders!) of Montréal. His kindness and knowledge of this city was so appreciated. We highly recommend this experience to other first time visitors to Montréal.
A wonderful way to experience Montreal

Montreal by Car with Kian was a great choice for our first day in Montreal. Since a walking tour wasn't an option for us, this car-tour was perfect (and included so much more). In addition to telling stories and relating history, Kian learned about our interests and tailored the tour on-the-go, We often stopped to see inside buildings and to take pictures. Kian's enthusiasm, engagement, and knowledge made a great afternoon for us.
