This two-hour small-group walking tour by MTL Detours covers the main historic sites of Old Montreal with a maximum of 10 guests. The tour begins near Pointe-à-Callière, the site where Montreal was founded, and proceeds to Rue Saint Jacques, the former financial district once known as Canada’s Wall Street. Participants walk along Rue St-Paul, Montreal’s oldest street, noted for its cobblestone pavement and historic buildings. The route includes stops at Bonsecours Market, recognized for its silver dome and role in the city’s civic life, and Place Jacques-Cartier, a lively square overlooking the Old Port. The tour passes Montreal City Hall, a grand Second Empire building, and the exterior of Notre-Dame Basilica, Montreal’s most famous landmark (interior entry is not included). Guests also see the Bank of Montreal, Canada’s oldest bank, and learn about Montreal’s history as a financial center. The guide shares information at Chateau Ramezay, an 18th-century governor’s residence, and at Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, known as the Sailors’ Church for its connection to the Old Port. The tour is led by a licensed local guide from MTL Detours, a fully local and independent Montreal company. Included are a small local treat, a curated handout with recommendations for places to eat and explore, and a unique parting gift. The minimum age to join is 12, and all participants must have a paid ticket. The tour is conducted in English and takes place mostly outdoors regardless of weather, so appropriate clothing is advised. The walk covers uneven surfaces, including cobblestones and some stairs, and involves a moderate level of walking with limited seating available. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off, and gratuities for the guide are optional.
